Skandapurana 6.3.226

Mārkaṇḍeya said:
Then, at the distance of one krośa, is that sacred ford Vimaleśvara,
where, by bathing, donation, recitation of mantras, fire-offerings, worship, and the like, (1)

having propitiated Vimaleśvara, whatever one desires, that one obtains,
whether the attainment of heaven and so forth, or earthly [rewards] as desired. (2)

Formerly, having slain Triśiras, the son of Tvaṣṭṛ, Indra of a hundred sacrifices,
by virtue of the majesty of this sacred ford, attained supreme stainlessness. (3)

Where the brahmin Vedanidhi, having performed great austerity in ancient times,
with the impurities of various past actions destroyed, became stainless like the sun. (4)

By the grace of Mahādeva, he became pleasing to behold like the moon.
In ancient times, the sun, afflicted by the arrows of the god of love, [lusted after] his daughter Bhānumatī.

He desired her, and because of that sin he was afflicted with leprosy.
Having performed tapas here too, he attained purity.

Gratified by Mahādeva, he joyfully returned to his own place.
And likewise in ancient times, O son of Pṛthā, the sage, the son of Vibhāṇḍaka,

having met yogins in the forest and likewise the king in the city,
[felt] impurity of the Supreme Soul through the fault of association with royalty.

Reflecting [on this], he came to the confluence of the Revā and the ocean.
Together with his wife Śāntā, having performed tapas for twelve years,

gratifying the three-eyed god with kṛcchra and cāndrāyaṇa penances, the sage,
when Mahādeva was pleased, also attained purity.

In ancient times, O king, Śarva, urged by Śarvāṇī in the pine forest,
to bewilder the wives of the sages, seeing his own [form] pure indeed,

considering the supreme place to be the confluence of the Narmadā and the ocean,
stayed there, O great king, and performed tapas together with Umā.

Since he became pure, he is therefore known as Vimaleśvara.
Under that name he established himself, desiring the welfare of the worlds.

Then Brahmā, the grandfather of the worlds, having created Tilottamā—
even the lord of creatures, having created her and seeing her exceedingly captivating before him,

overcome by the power of impending fate, became lustful toward her.
Seeing his state of guilt because of that, he resorted to both banks of the Revā,

silently following the sacred fords, bathing thrice daily, meditating upon Śiva.
Having bathed at the confluence of the Revā and the ocean and worshipped Śaṅkara,
in a short time, O royal seer, even Brahmā attained purity.

Thus many others too, the best among celestial seers and kings,
having cast away the defilement of sin there, became pure in great numbers.

Likewise you too, O chief of kings, having bathed there, through the worship of Śiva,
though already pure, will especially attain supreme purity.

A man or woman, having bathed there and worshipped Maheśvara,
freed from the guilt of sin, is glorified in the world of Brahmā.

Whoever, having fasted there, beholds Vimaleśvara
on the eighth, the fourteenth, and on all full- and new-moon days, O king,

casting away the sin committed across seven births, goes to the abode of Śiva.
Having performed a śrāddha according to the rule, he becomes debt-free to the ancestors;
he should feed brahmins according to his means and give them a priestly gift.

Whatever is most cherished in the world and whatever is of benefit to oneself in the home,
all that should be given there to a virtuous person by one desiring imperishable merit:
gold, grains, garments, an umbrella, shoes, and a water-pot.

By building a temple for the god according to his means, one becomes a king on earth;
and one should gratify the Supreme Lord with songs, dances, and holy recitations.

Thus ends the two hundred and twenty-sixth chapter, named the Description of the Greatness of the Sacred Ford of Vimaleśvara, in the Revākhaṇḍa of the fifth section, the Āvantyakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand verses.
