[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-3. Thereafter, O great goddess, a pilgrim should go to the shrine of Hari, the bestower of salvation. It is situated not very far from there on the south-eastern side of Prabhāsa.
O goddess, one who adores it on the eleventh lunar day with full control over the diet, particularly in the month of Māgha, shall obtain the benefit of Agniṣṭoma.
He who observes Anaśana (fast) and performs Cāndrāyaṇa and other Vratas shall obtain desired benefits crore times more than in other Tīrthas.
