6.3.205.1

Chapter 205
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
From there, O lord of the earth, one should go to the exceedingly splendid sacred ford / renowned by the name Kurkurī, which completely destroys all sins.

6.3.205.2

Whatever desire one wishes for—cattle, sons, wealth, and the like— / that very thing the goddess, Kurkurī, the deity of the sacred ford, bestows.

6.3.205.3

A guardian of the field resides there, named Ḍhauṇḍheśa by name; / having performed worship to him, a woman or a man,

6.3.205.4

even from paying homage, O king of kings, will obtain the destruction of misfortune. / The sonless one obtains a son, the impoverished one obtains excellent wealth;

6.3.205.5

likewise, a woman or a man obtains their highest desire / by touching and beholding that sacred ford in accordance with the prescribed rules.

Thus ends the two hundred and fifth chapter, named 'Description of the Glory of Kurkurī Tīrtha', in the Revākhaṇḍa of the fifth [part], the Āvantyakhaṇḍa, in the Mahāpurāṇa of eighty-one thousand verses, the glorious Skandapurāṇa.
