Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 51


Sanskrit:

पूजादीनां प्रवाहार्थं महापर्वस्वथान्वहम् ।क्षेत्रापणपुरग्रामान् दत्त्वा मत्सार्ष्टितामियात् ॥ ५१ ॥

ITRANS:

pūjādīnāṁ pravāhārthaṁmahā-parvasv athānv-ahamkṣetrāpaṇa-pura-grāmāndattvā mat-sārṣṭitām iyāt

Translation:

One who offers the Deity gifts of land, markets, cities and villages so that the regular daily worship and special festivals of the Deity may go on continually will achieve opulence equal to My own.

Purport:

By placing tracts of land in the Deity’s name, there will be regular income for opulent Deity worship, both from rent and from agricultural production. A worshiper who makes the arrangements mentioned above will certainly achieve opulence like that of the Personality of Godhead.
