Sanskrit

न ह्यम्मयानि तीर्थानि न देवा मृच्छिलामया: । ते पुनन्त्युरुकालेन दर्शनादेव साधव: ॥ ३१ ॥

Transliteration

na hy am-mayāni tīrthāni na devā mṛc-chilā-mayāḥ te punanty uru-kālena darśanād eva sādhavaḥ
Synonyms
na — not; hi — indeed; ap-mayāni — made of water; tīrthāni — holy places; na — such is not the case; devāḥ — deities; mṛt — of earth; śilā — and stone; mayāḥ — made; te — they; punanti — purify; uru-kālena — after a long time; darśanāt — by being seen; eva — only; sādhavaḥ — saints.

Translation

No one can deny that there are holy places with sacred rivers, or that the demigods appear in deity forms made of earth and stone. But these purify the soul only after a long time, whereas saintly persons purify just by being seen.

Sanskrit and Hindi Witness

इस पाठ-साक्षी का श्लोक-पता वर्तमान ŚB मार्ग से ठीक मिलता है। गीता प्रेस और वर्तमान अंग्रेज़ी पाठ को मिलाया नहीं गया है; दोनों अपने-अपने स्रोत-रूप में साथ पढ़े जा सकते हैं।

ŚB 10.48.31 · गीता प्रेस पाठ

न ह्यम्मयानि तीर्थानि न देवा मृच्छिलामया:। ते पुनन्त्युरुकालेन दर्शनादेव साधव:॥ ३१

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

केवल जलके तीर्थ (नदी, सरोवर आदि) ही तीर्थ नहीं हैं, केवल मृत्तिका और शिला आदिकी बनी हुई मूर्तियाँ ही देवता नहीं हैं। चाचाजी! उनकी तो बहुत दिनोंतक श्रद्धासे सेवा की जाय, तब वे पवित्र करते हैं। परन्तु संतपुरुष तो अपने दर्शनमात्रसे पवित्र कर देते हैं॥ ३१॥

स्रोत-खंड सीमा · यह हिन्दी अंश गीता प्रेस डिजिटल पाठ में इस दृश्य श्लोक-इकाई के बाद आता है; इसे स्वतः एक-से-एक टीका या संस्करण-समानता नहीं माना गया है।
