mārkaṇḍeya uvāca:
tato gacchenmahīpāla siddheśvaramanuttamam /
narmadādakṣiṇe kūle tīrthaṃ paramaśobhanam
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā pūjayed vṛṣabhadhvajam /
sarvapāpavinirmukto gatiṃ yātyaśvamedhinām
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā śrāddhaṃ kuryāt prayatnataḥ /
pitḥṇāṃ prīṇanārthāya sarvaṃ tena kṛtaṃ bhavet
tatra tīrthe mṛtānāṃ tu jantūnāṃ nṛpasattama /
garbhavāse matisteṣāṃ na jāyeta kadācana
garbhavāso hi duḥkhāya na sukhāya kadācana /
tattīrthavāriṇā snātur na punarbhavasambhavaḥ
