The venerable Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then, O king of kings, one should go to the exceedingly beautiful sacred ford, / the excellent Agastyeśvara, for the destruction of men's sins. 64.1

6.3.64.2

Having bathed there, O king, a man is freed from the murder of a brahmin. / On the fourteenth day in the dark fortnight of the month of Kārttika, 64.2

6.3.64.3

absorbed in meditation and with senses restrained, one should bathe the god with clarified butter; / along with twenty-one generations of his family, he does not fall from the state of Īśvara. 64.3

6.3.64.4

And one should give wealth, two shoes, an umbrella, a blanket with clarified butter, / and food to all; everything becomes multiplied ten million times. 64.4

Thus ends the sixty-fourth chapter, titled "Description of the Māhātmya of the Agastyeśvara Sacred Ford," in the Revākhaṇḍa of the Āvantyakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa of eighty-one thousand verses.
