Chapter 310 - Greatness of Kalaṃbeśvara (Kalaṃba-īśvara)
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-2. The shrine of the deity named Kalaṃbeśvara is situated within two Dhanus to the north-west thereof (i.e. Caturmukha Vināyaka). It is destructive of all sins. By viewing and worshipping that deity one shall get rid of all sins.
On a New-Moon day coinciding with a Monday (doing worship) in that shrine is conducive to much merit. Brāhmaṇas should be fed by those who seek to get the benefit of all merits.
