1. Gītā-māhātmya

   श्रीविष्णुरुवाच
   प्रारब्धं भुज्यमानो हि गीताभ्यासरतः सदा ।
   स मुक्तः स सुखी लोके कर्मणा नोपलिप्यते ॥

   śrīviṣṇuruvāca
   prārabdhaṁ bhujyamāno hi gītābhyāsarataḥ sadā
   sa muktaḥ sa sukhī loke karmaṇā nopalipyate

   Lord Viṣṇu said: Even while living through his prārabdha, a person who always studies the Gītā is free and happy in this world. His karma does not touch him.
