Gita Mahatmya

Varāha Purāṇa, Gītā-māhātmya 18

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

   गीतार्थश्रवणासक्तो महापापयुतोऽपि वा ।
   वैकुण्ठं समवाप्नोति विष्णुना सह मोदते ॥

   gītārthaśravaṇāsakto mahāpāpayuto’pi vā
   vaikuṇṭhaṁ samavāpnoti viṣṇunā saha modate

   A person who loves to hear the meaning of the Gītā, even if he has done great sins, reaches Vaikuṇṭha and lives happily with Lord Viṣṇu.
