101.1
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya said:
Then one should go, O king of kings, to the exceedingly splendid pilgrimage place
on the northern bank of the Narmadā, in the midst of the sacrificial arena,
101.2
known on earth as Saṃkarṣaṇa, which destroys sin.
Indeed, O king, austerities were performed there long ago by Balabhadra.
101.3
The gods too are present right there in proximity, O son of the king;
Śambhu together with Umā, and Keśava, remain right there.
101.4
For the welfare of living beings, O best of kings,
Śaṅkara, the destroyer of sins, was installed with supreme devotion by Balabhadra.
101.5
He who bathes there with devotion, with anger subdued and senses controlled,
should bathe Śiva with honey on the eleventh day of the bright fortnight.
101.6
Whoever then offers a śrāddha to the ancestors right there with devotion,
goes to the supreme abode, in accordance with the words of Balabhadra.

|| Thus ends the one hundred and first chapter, entitled "Glorification of Saṃkarṣaṇa Pilgrimage Place", in the Revākhaṇḍa of the Avantyakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa comprising eighty-one thousand verses.
