Verse Text
śrutā smṛtā kīrtitā ca vāṣchitā prekṣitā gatā |
spṛṣṭā śritā sevitā ca mathurābhīṣṭa-dā nṛṇām |
iti khyātaṁ purāṇeṣu na vistāra-bhiyocyate ||213||
Translation
Hearing about, remembering, glorifying, desiring, seeing, visiting, touching, taking shelter, and serving Mathurā fulfills all the desires of human beings. This has been described in all the Purāṇas. I have not elaborated this here for fear of increasing the volume of the book.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The meaning of prekśitā (seen) is “to be seen from a distance, going close by, though not contacting directly.” Śritā means “accepting as one’s shelter.” Sevita means “being served with activities such as cleaning the place.” The items in this list fulfill the desires of all beings with successively increasing power. Thus, serving is the most powerful.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In many śāstras (scriptures) it is said that simply by hearing, remembering, glorifying, desiring, seeing or touching the land of Mathurā, one can achieve all desires.
