185.1

RKV chapter 185 / The glorious Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then, O protector of the earth, one should go to the excellent Eraṇḍītīrtha; / merely by a sacred bath there, brahmanicide is destroyed.

185.2

There, having fasted on the fourteenth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Āśvina, / purified and having taken a sacred bath, one should offer libations to the ancestors and deities.

185.3

Endowed with sons, prosperity, and beauty, he shall live for a hundred autumns; / upon dying, he goes to the world of Śiva—no doubt should be entertained here.

|| Thus ends the one hundred and eighty-fifth chapter, entitled the description of the glorification of the Eraṇḍītīrtha, in the Revākhaṇḍa of the fifth Avantyakhaṇḍa in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses.
