CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTYSIX



Rudramahalayatirtha

Mahadeva said:

1-8. O chief goddess, then a man should go to the holy place Rudramahalaya resembling Kedara, and actually fashioned by Rudra. There he should offer a sraddha causing delight to the dead ancestors. By offering a sraddha there, the dead ancestors, along with the grandsires are gratified and go to the highest position of Rudra. He who lets loose a bull there in the great abode of Rudra on the full-moon day of Kartika or Vaishakha rejoices with Rudra. On drinking water at Kedara, there is no rebirth. Having bathed here, a man undoubtedly enjoys liberation. O goddess, on one occasion, having left Kailasa, I came to Sabhramati, knowing her to be Ganga for the well-being of the world. Having bathed there, and drunk (her water) and having made (the place) an excellent holy place, I then went to Kailasa, my abode, O beautiful lady. Then the Mahalaya (the great abode) became a great holy place, and will be known in the world as Rudra-Mahalaya. Those who go to (i.e. visit) it on the full-moon day of Kartika or Vaishakha, do not have the misery < lue to the entire mundane existence.

 

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTYSEVEN

Khadgatirtha

Mahadeva said:

1-7. O goddess, listen to (the description) of the holy place, difficult to be reached even by gods. It is called Khadgatirtha, and it desrtoys all sins. A man, having bathed at Khadgatirtha, and having seen Khadgesvara Shiva, would not meet with misery, (but) goes to heaven; (so also he) who sees the god Khadgdharesvara. One should especially worship (the god) there on the fullmoon day of Kartika. O dear one, this god, the lord of the universe, the lord of all, always gives everything in the world. He gives the desired objects. A man who, desiring a kingdom, sees the lord in Vaishakha, gets that object quickly due to the grace of Visvanatha. He should especially worship him with flowers, incense, eatables, or lamps, O daughter of the (Himalaya) Mountain. So also with the offerings of fruits and bilva (-leaves). There is no doubt that wealth, grains, sons, grandsons, riches are obtained due to the worship of Shri Visvesvara.

 

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTYEIGHT

Mdldrkatirtha

Mahadeva said:

1-9. On the bank of SabhramatI is the excellent Gaya-tirtha, called Chitrangavadana, auspicious and occupied by Malarka. It is adorned with kalpa trees, santana trees, and mandara trees, and with mango, nimba, kadamba, kasmari, asvattha and tinduka trees. Even by remembering it from a yojana leprosy would be cured. Malarka would remove the leprosy of him who suffers from it. That woman whose child is dead, or who is barren, who bathes there according to the Vedic precept, soon obtains a son. The muttering (of a hymn), a sacrifice, self-study, worship of a deity done (there) by the Sun's devotee would be inexhaustible.

O chief goddess, having gone to this place a man should observe the vow of Shri Ravi. Having enjoyed pleasures here, he goes to the Sun's world. A royal sage whose child was dead, went there and practised penance. The king obtained a son due to the grace of Shri Malarka. He who, particularly observing a fast, and with his senses controlled, would worship Malarka, would certainly enjoy salvation. O best goddess, brahmanas led by Vasishtha and gods like Indra always stay at Malarka near the Sun.

 

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FORTYNINE

Candanesvara

Mahadeva said:

1-11. From this holy place Malarka a man should come to Candanesvara, an excellent place of joy near Malarka. Having drunk the blood of Dussasana, the very mighty Bhima, fulfilled his very fierce pledge fully, and he tied Draupadi's hair with his hands smeared with blood, and having given (gifts to) brahmanas, he went on a pilgrimage. With his brothers he went to the charming bank of Sabhramati. That candana tree which was brought to Sabhramati from heaven, had become a Phallus due to the power of the auspicious holy place. A man, by bathing there and drinking (water there) and gratifying his dead ancestors would not go to hell (but) would obtain Rudra's heaven. Then having seen Candanesa, the lord of the universe and the cause of the well-being of the worlds, he should worship him according to his capacity; having gone there he does not repent. King Kaivartaka, having many times worshipped (the lord) here, went to that Shiva's world having gone where one does not regret. The sages bathe here; the ancient god, the highest soul Vishnu, causing welfare, always actually stays here. This Sabhramati is blessed. Blessed is the lord, the ruler of the universe. O ParvatI, here many holy places have come up on the earth. Here is Amardaki with auspicious fruits of many kinds. O beautiful lady, respectful offering should be made there.
