89.1
The venerable Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then one should go, O king of kings, to the excellent Pūtikeśvara, / which destroys all sins, on the south bank of the Narmadā,
89.2
established by Jāmbavat, who desired the welfare of the worlds. / A king named Prasenajit [was struck] by him when the jewel was snatched from his chest,
89.3
and by that very [blow] a putrid wound formed. / Having performed austerities at that pilgrimage place, he became free of wounds.
89.4
By him was that excellent liṅga, Pūtikeśvara, established. / Whatever man bathes there with devotion, O best of the Bharatas,
89.5
attains all desires after fully worshipping the Supreme Lord. / On the dark eighth and fourteenth [days] and at all times, O ruler of men, / those who ever worship the god do not go to the abode of Yama.
