tasyaivānantaraṃ tāta puṅkhilaṃ tīrthamuttamam /
tatra tīrthe purā puṅkhaḥ pārtha siddhimupāgataḥ

jāmadagnyo mahātejāḥ kṣatriyāntakaraḥ prabhuḥ /
tapaḥ kṛtvā suvipulaṃ narmadottaratīrabhāk

tataḥ prabhṛti vikhyātaṃ puṅkhatīrthaṃ nareśvara /
tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ snātvā hyārādhya parameśvaram

ihaloke balairyuktaḥ pare mokṣamavāpnuyāt /
devānpitḥn samabhyarcya pitḥṇāmanṛṇī bhavet

tatra tīrthe naro yastu prāṇatyāgaṃ karoti vai /

tatra tīrthe naraḥ snātvā hayamedhaphalaṃ labhet

tatra tīrthe naro yastu brāhmaṇān bhojayennṛpa /
ekasmin bhojite vipre koṭirbhavati bhojitā

tatra tīrthe tu yaḥ kaścitpūjayedvṛṣabhadhvajam /
vājapeyasya yajñasya phalaṃ prāpnotyasaṃśayam
