यस्मिन्देशेव सेन्नित्यं भूतिशासनसंयुतः । सर्वतीर्थैश्च क्रतुभिः सांनिध्यं क्रियते सदा २४ ।
In the place where one serves Lord Shiva continually, in the company of saints and in the presence of sacred rituals, all holy places and Yajnas (rituals) are present, and the divine presence is always experienced.
त्रिपुंड्रसहितो जीवः पूज्यः सर्वैः सुरासुरैः । पापान्वितोपि शुद्धात्मा किं पुनः श्रद्धया युतः २५ ।
Even a sinful person is worthy of being honoured by Devas and Asuras if he has Tripuṇḍra on his forehead. What then of a faithful man endowed with a pure soul?
