64.1

The venerable Mārkaṇḍeya said:
Then, O lord of kings, one should go to the exceedingly beautiful pilgrimage place,
for the destruction of the sins of men, the excellent Agastyeśvara.

64.2

Having bathed there, O king, a man is freed from the murder of a brāhmaṇa.
On the fourteenth day in the dark fortnight of the month of Kārttika,

64.3

one absorbed in meditation, with senses subdued, should bathe the god with clarified butter.
Accompanied by twenty-one generations of his family, he does not fall from the state of the Lord.

64.4

And he should give wealth, two sandals, an umbrella, a blanket with clarified butter,
and food to all; everything becomes multiplied ten million fold.

|| Thus ends the sixty-fourth chapter, entitled 'Description of the Glorification of the Agastyeśvara Pilgrimage Place', in the Revā Section of the fifth Avanti Section in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a compilation of eighty-one thousand verses.
