na hy am-mayani tirthani
na devas cetanojjhitah
te punanty uru-kalena
yuyam darsana-matratah
na -- not; hi -- indeed; ap-mayani -- consisting of sacred water; tirthani -- holy places; na -- not; devah -- deity forms of demigods; cetana-ujjhitah -- devoid of life; te -- they; punanti -- purify; uru-kalena -- after a long time; yuyam -- yourselves; darsana-matratah -- simply by being seen.
Mere bodies of water do not constitute holy places, nor are lifeless statues of the demigods actual worshipable deities. Because external vision fails to appreciate the higher essence of the holy rivers and the demigods, these purify only after a considerable time. But devotees like you purify immediately, just by being seen.

bhavad-vidha bhagavatas
tirtha-bhutah svayam vibho
tirthi-kurvanti tirthani
svantah-sthena gadabhrta
tirtha-bhutah svayam vibho
tirthi-kurvanti tirthani
svantah-sthena gadabhrta
bhavat-your good self; vidhah-like; bhagavatah-devotees; tirtha-the holy places of pilgrimage; bhutah-converted into; svayam-personally; vibho-O powerful one; tirthi-kurvanti-make into a holy place of pilgrimage; tirthani-the holy places; sva-antah-sthena-having been situated in the heart; gada-bhrta-the Personality of Godhead.
My lord, devotees like your good self are verily holy places personified. Because you carry the Personality of Godhead within your heart, you turn all places into places of pilgrimage.

yat-pada-samsrayah suta
munayah prasamayanah
sadyah punanty upasprstah

munayah prasamayanah
sadyah punanty upasprstah
svardhuny-apo 'nusevaya
O --------, those great sages who have completely taken shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord can at once sanctify those who come in touch with them, whereas the waters of the Ganges can sanctify only after prolonged use.
