Vaṅśodbheda, Harodbheda, Gaṅgodbheda, are among the sacred places and so are Bhadreśvara, Viṣṇupada, Narmadâdwara. Offering Piṇḍa there is equivalent to offering it in Gayâ. These are the Piṭritîrthas that wash off all the sins of man.—25-26. The mere recollection of these sacred places gives great benefit; what to say of those who perform śrâddha there. Oṁkâra, Kâverî, Kapilodaka, the confluence of the river Chaṇḍavegâ, Amarkantaka are also sacred places where by bathing one gets hundred times more benefit than by bathing at Kurukṣetra. Śukratîrtha, Piṇḍârâ, Someśvar are the sacred places that dispel all impediments and it is very pious to perform śrâddha or give charity there. Kâyâvarohaṇa, Charmaṇvatî river, Gomatî, Varanâ, auśanas, Bhairavakṣetra, Bhṛigutuṅga, Gaurîtîrtha, are also holy places.
