Mahâdeva said “—Those who reside here, with the desire of winning emancipation, to them this sacred place is like a wood of penance (tapôvana) People residing here are never re-born The dwellers of this place get the same end as those who are eager to acquire beatitude by means of Divine Knowledge This place is extremely dear to Me It gives everlasting fruits and immortality This Avimukta-tîrtha is also called the cremation ground, and is most mysterious Those who do not feel attached to it are really the losers The dust of this place falling on the sinners bestows on them beatitude The piles of sins huge as the mount Sumêru and Mandarâchala, become annihilated there—1 7
