Chapter 105 - The Greatness of Karañja Tīrtha
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
1-3. Thereafter one goes to the Tīrtha called Karañja. There he takes the holy bath, O great king, and observes fast with the sense-organs completely controlled. He is liberated from all sins.
He should adore Mahādeva and make gifts devoutly of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, coral, sandals, shoes, umbrella, quilt and bed-sheets. Everything becomes crores of times beneficial. There is no doubt about this.
