Chapter 114 - The Greatness of Ayonisaṃbhava Tīrtha
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
1-3. Thereafter, O great king, a person should go to the extremely splendid Ayonija Tīrtha of great merit, that is destructive of all sins.
The man should take bath in the Ayonija (Tīrtha) and worship Parameśvara. After performing the adoration of Pitṛs and Devas, he is liberated from all sins.
He who casts off his life there in the Tīrtha as per prescribed procedure, O great king, will never thereafter see the opening of vagina (i.e. will not be reborn).
