[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
1-3. Thereafter, O great king, one should go to the excellent Bhaṇḍārī Tīrtha. It is the means of averting poverty for a period of nineteen Yugas.
Dhanada (Kubera) performed a penance whereby the Lotus-born Lord was pleased. By making a small gift, he attained the lordship of wealth.
He who goes there and takes holy bath devoutly and then makes the gift of wealth, will regain enormous wealth which will never be lost or become limited in quantity.
