śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca:
tasyāgre pāvanaṃ tīrthaṃ svarṇabindviti viśrutam /
yatra snātvā divaṃ yānti mṛtāśca na punarbhavam
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā datte viprāya kāñcanam /
tena yattu phalaṃ proktaṃ tacchṛṇuṣva mahīpate
sarveṣām eva ratnānāṃ kāñcanaṃ ratnamuttamam /
agnitejaḥsamudbhūtaṃ tena tatparamaṃ bhuvi
tenaiva dattā pṛthivī saśailavanakānanā /
sapattanapurā sarvā kāñcanaṃ yaḥ prayacchati
mānasaṃ vācikaṃ pāpaṃ karmaṇā yatpurā kṛtam /
tatsarvaṃ naśyati kṣipraṃ svarṇadānena bhārata
svarṇadānaṃ tu yo dattvā hyapi vālāgramātrakam /
tatra tīrthe mṛto yāti divaṃ nāstyatra saṃśayaḥ
tatra vidyādharaiḥ siddhair vimānavaramāsthitaḥ /
pūjyamāno vasettāvadyāvadābhūtasamplavam
pūrṇe tatra tataḥ kāle prāpya mānuṣyamuttamam /
suvarṇakoṭisahite gṛhe vai jāyate dvijaḥ
sarvavyādhivinirmuktaḥ sarvalokeṣu pūjitaḥ /
jīvedvarṣaśataṃ sāgraṃ rājasaṃ satsu viśrutaḥ
