Tīrthas, or holy bathing-places that bestow children, are mentioned, for instance in iii, 83.58; 84.98 (= 87.9). If anyone in the right condition of soul makes a pilgrimage to the tīrtha Kanyācrama, and there fasts three days, he wins a divine hundred of daughters, and heaven (iii, 83.190). This second reward will be found a very fitting one. - [Previous: v1.c6.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c6.66) - [Next: v1.c6.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c6.68) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c6) ## Cites (2) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.3.83.58) — Sanskrit - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c6.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v1.c6.67) · Pramāṇa
