Interpretation
Gurubhava (absorption in the Guru) is the most sacred
place; every other place of pilgrimage is meaningless.
O Goddess, the big toe of the Guru's (right) foot
is the abode of all places of pilgrimage.
Repetition (of the Guru Gita) on an improper asana bears
(the same) fruit as mean actions. While on a journey,
on a battlefield, or in the face of a dangerous enemy,
one obtains success by repeating the Guru Gita.
