96.1
The glorious Mārkaṇḍeya said: / Then, O lord of kings, one should go to the supreme Koṭīśvara pilgrimage place, / where ten million sages arrived, O scion of the Kurus.
96.2
for the well-being of Kṛṣṇadvaipāyana himself, the foremost sages, / having consulted together with all the twice-born reciters of auspicious Vedic chants,
96.3
installed Śaṅkara there, the cause [of liberation], the destroyer of bondage, / the severed of worldly existence, the destroyer of living beings' affliction.
96.4
It is renowned on earth as Koṭīśvara, O son of the king. / Whoever bathes it with devotion on a full moon day, O best of kings,
96.5
performing the offering of water to the ancestors and the gift of rice-balls according to rule, / especially on the full moon day of Śrāvaṇa, O Yudhiṣṭhira—
96.6
there is imperishable satisfaction for his ancestors until the destruction of all beings. / [This tīrtha,] most secret for the ancestors, situated on the bank of the Revā, / which grants liberation to all creatures, was established by the best of sages.
