162.1

Glorious Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then one should go to Gopeśvara, immediately following the domain of the serpents, / where by just a single bath men are freed from sins.

162.2

Whoever, having bathed at that pilgrimage place, brings about the end of his life, / even if joined with sin, goes to the abode of Śiva.

162.3

Whoever, having bathed at that pilgrimage place, worships the god Īśvara, / is freed from all sins and goes to the world of Rudra.

162.4

And having disported as he desires in the world of Rudra, that man of great penance, / attaining human birth here, becomes a righteous king,

162.5

endowed with elephants, horses, and chariots, accompanied by female and male servants, / and worshipped by rulers of men, he lives happily for a hundred years.

|| Thus ends the one hundred sixty-second chapter, named the Description of the Glorification of the Gopeśvara Pilgrimage Place, in the Revākhaṇḍa of the Avantīkhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses.
