Chapter 316 - Greatness of Kṣemāditya
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-3. The shrine of the well-known deity Kṣemāditya is situated within a distance of only five Gavyūtis to the east of Devakula in the middle of Śaṃbara Sthāna which is a holy spot.
If worshipped, the deity is the bestower of all desires. A man who views that deity, O goddess, on a seventh lunar day coinciding with a Sunday, should become the possessor and preserver of all objects of welfare. Thus the situation of the Tīrtha in the holy spot of Devakula has been told.
