Gītā-māhātmya 1

These verses glorify the Bhagavad-gītā. They come from other scriptures and are not verses of the Bhagavad-gītā itself. Each one carries its own source.

1. Gītā-māhātmya

   गीताशास्त्रमिदं पुण्यं यः पठेत्प्रयतः पुमान् ।
   विष्णोः पदमवाप्नोति भयशोकादिवर्जितः ॥

   gītā-śāstram idaṁ puṇyaṁ yaḥ paṭhet prayataḥ pumān
   viṣṇoḥ padam avāpnoti bhaya-śokādi-varjitaḥ

   In conclusion, Bhagavad-gīta is a transcendental literature which one should read very carefully. It is capable of saving one from all fear.
