Gita Mahatmya

Varāha Purāṇa, Gītā-māhātmya 3

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

   महापापादिपापानि गीताध्यानं करोति चेत् ।
   क्वचित्स्पर्शं न कुर्वन्ति नलिनीदलमम्बुवत् ॥

   mahāpāpādipāpāni gītādhyānaṁ karoti cet
   kvacitsparśaṁ na kurvanti nalinīdalamambuvat

   If a person meditates on the Gītā, even very great sins cannot touch him, just as water does not stick to a lotus leaf.
