Chapter 89
6.3.89.1
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then one should go, O king of kings, to the excellent Pūtikeśvara / on the southern bank of the Narmadā, which brings about the destruction of all sins,
6.3.89.2
established by Jāmbavat, who desired the welfare of the worlds. / A king named Prasenajit [was struck] by him on the chest for the jewel,
6.3.89.3
and when it was seized, a putrid wound formed. / Having performed austerity at that sacred ford, he became free of the wound.
6.3.89.4
Therefore that excellent liṅga, Pūtikeśvara, was established by him. / The man who bathes there with devotion, O best of the Bharatas,
6.3.89.5
attains all desires after worshipping the Supreme Lord. / On the eighth and fourteenth days of the dark fortnight, at all times, O ruler of men, / those who constantly worship the god do not go to the abode of Yama.
6.3.89.5_2
