Gita Mahatmya

Varāha Purāṇa, Gītā-māhātmya 12

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

   त्रिभागं पठमानस्तु गङ्गास्नानफलं लभेत् ।
   षडंशं जपमानस्तु सोमयागफलं लभेत् ॥

   tribhāgaṁ paṭhamānastu gaṅgāsnānaphalaṁ labhet
   ṣaḍaṁśaṁ japamānastu somayāgaphalaṁ labhet

   One who reads one third of it gets the result of bathing in the Gaṅgā. One who reads one sixth gets the result of a Soma yajña.
