eṣu tīrtheṣu yaḥ kṛtvā snānaṃ paśyati māṃ naraḥ //
"The above are the hundred and eight chief names, under which I am usually known. I have also enumerated to you the names of the principal holy places which I have for my abode. One who hears or reads the names mentioned above or bathes in the tîrthas and then worships me there, is liberated from all sins and goes to Śivaloka, where he remains for one Kalpa. One who resides in the sacred places mentioned above, attains Nirvâṇa. One who recites the hundred and eight names before Śiva, on Tritîyâ and Aṣṭamî, is blessed with many children. One who repeats these names at the time of giving away a cow in charity, or on the occasion of performing a funeral ceremony in honour of the departed spirits, or at the time of worship, goes to Brahmâ.” After uttering these words, the goddess Satî consumed herself.—54-59.
