6.3.185.1
Chapter 185
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
Then, O protector of the earth, one should go to the supreme sacred ford of Eraṇḍī. / By merely bathing right there, the murder of a brahmin is destroyed.
6.3.185.2
In the month of Āśvina, during the bright fortnight, having fasted on the fourteenth day, / restrained and purified by bathing, one should make water offerings to the ancestors and the deities.
6.3.185.3
Endowed with sons, prosperity, and beauty, he shall live for a hundred autumns; / when dead, he goes to the world of Śiva—there is no doubt to be entertained in this matter.
6.3.185.3_1
Thus ends the one hundred and eighty-fifth chapter, titled 'Description of the Glory of the Sacred Ford of Eraṇḍī', in the Revākhaṇḍa of the fifth section, the Āvantyakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa comprising eighty-one thousand verses.
