śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca -
revāyā uttare kūle tīrthaṃ paramaśobhanam .
raviṇā nirmitaṃ pārtha sarvapāpakṣayaṃkaram .. 70.1 ..

Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
On the north bank of the Revā is a supremely beautiful sacred ford,
fashioned by Ravi, O son of Pṛthā, which destroys all sins.

6.3.70.2

svāṃśena bhāskarastatra tiṣṭhate cottare taṭe .
sarvavyādhiharaḥ puṃsāṃ narmadāyāṃ vyavasthitaḥ .. 70.2 ..

The sun remains there on the northern bank by his own portion;
abiding at the Narmadā, he removes all disease for men.

6.3.70.3

ṣaṣṭhyāṃṣaṣṭhyāṃ nṛpaśreṣṭha hyaṣṭamyāṃ ca caturdaśīm .
snānaṃ yaḥ kārayenmartyaḥ śrāddhaṃ preteṣu bhaktitaḥ .
tasya pāpakṣayaḥ pārtha sūryaloke mahīyate .. 70.3 ..

On every sixth, O best of kings, as well as on the eighth and the fourteenth,
whatever mortal takes a bath and performs a śrāddha for the deceased spirits with devotion,
his sin is destroyed, O son of Pṛthā, and he is honored in the world of the sun.

6.3.70.4

tataḥ svargāccyutaḥ so'pi jāyate vimale kule .
dhanāḍhyo vyādhinirmukto jīvejjanmanijanmani .. 70.4 ..

Then, having fallen from heaven, he too is born in an immaculate family;
wealthy and freed from disease, he lives birth after birth.
