On the right bank of the Chandra tīrtha is the Kanyâ tīrtha where one should bathe on the third day of the bright fortnight If salutations are made to Lord Śiva there the demon Bali becomes pleased When the people are fast sleep during the night, then sometimes a rainbow makes its appearance in which the city of the king Hariśchandra is visible The trees are drowned in the waters of the Narmadâ In ancient times Lord Viṣṇu said to Śiva that, the place should be fixed as His residence, since then Dīpeśvaran tīrtha exists there by bathing where one gets plenty of gold—79 82
