कार्तिके चैव माघे तु तुलस्या पूजयेद्धरिम् । वैशाखे तु विशेषेण पूजनं च हरेः स्मृतम्

एकेनैव प्रदक्षिणेन सकलं पापं गतं वै सदा ये शूद्रा । भुवि संति दाननिरताः कालेन शुद्धिं गताः । तेपि स्युः सुरपूजनार्हतनवः पापाच्च दूरं गताः ये वै। विष्णुजनाश्च दुर्लभतरा ह्यस्मिन्कलौ सांप्रतम्
ekenaiva pradakṣiṇena sakalaṃ pāpaṃ gataṃ vai sadā ye śūdrā | bhuvi saṃti dānaniratāḥ kālena śuddhiṃ gatāḥ | tepi syuḥ surapūjanārhatanavaḥ pāpācca dūraṃ gatāḥ ye vai| viṣṇujanāśca durlabhatarā hyasminkalau sāṃpratam
By a single circumambulation all sin is indeed gone forever. Those śūdras who are on earth devoted to giving have in time attained purity; they too become ones whose bodies are worthy of the worship due to gods, they who have gone far from sin; and Viṣṇu's people are indeed very hard to find in this present Kali age.
