श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
मधुरायाः समं क्षेत्रं तीर्थञ्च यमुनासमम् ।
श्रीकेशवसमा मूर्तिर्ब्रह्माण्डे नास्ति किञ्चन ॥
The Sadguru said:
In the entire universe, there is no sacred place equal to Mathurā, no holy water equal to the Yamunā, and no deity equal to Śrī Keśava.

This verse establishes the supreme sanctity of Mathura and the deity Keśava, setting the stage for the origin of the Guruvayur deity. It asserts that no other place or form in the universe can match the glory of the Lord's manifestation in Mathura.
