147.1

Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then one should go, O ruler of the earth, to the unexcelled Siddheśvara, / an exceedingly splendid pilgrimage place on the southern bank of the Narmadā.

147.2

Whoever, having bathed at that pilgrimage place, worships the one whose banner is a bull, / freed from all sins, attains the destination of performers of horse sacrifices.

147.3

Whoever, having bathed at that pilgrimage place, diligently performs a śrāddha / for the sake of pleasing the ancestors, everything has been accomplished by him.

147.4

For creatures who die at that pilgrimage place, O best of kings, / the thought of dwelling in a womb never arises for them again.

147.5

For dwelling in a womb leads to sorrow, never to happiness; / for one who bathes in the water of that pilgrimage place, no rebirth occurs.

|| Thus ends the one hundred and forty-seventh chapter, named 'Description of the Glorification of the Pilgrimage Place of Siddheśvara', in the Revākhaṇḍa of the Avantyakhaṇḍa, in the Skanda Mahāpurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses
