Mataṅga–Gardabhī Itihāsa
उत्पातके नर: स्नात्वा अष्टावक्रे कृतोदक: । द्वादशाहं निराहारो नरमेधफलं लभेत्,उत्पातक तीर्थमें स्नान और अष्टावक्र तीर्थमें तर्पण करके बारह दिनोंतक निराहार रहनेसे नरमेधयज्ञका फल प्राप्त होता है
utpātake naraḥ snātvā aṣṭāvakre kṛtodakaḥ | dvādaśāhaṁ nirāhāro naramedhaphalaṁ labhet |
উৎপাতক তীৰ্থত স্নান কৰি আৰু অষ্টাৱক্ৰ তীৰ্থত তৰ্পণ কৰি যি ব্যক্তি বাৰ দিন নিৰাহাৰ থাকে, সি নৰমেধ যজ্ঞৰ সমান পুণ্য লাভ কৰে।

That disciplined observance—pilgrimage bathing, water-offerings, and sustained fasting—can confer merit comparable to major Vedic sacrifices, highlighting self-control and sacred practice as powerful, accessible forms of dharma.
The speaker Ajadriya is enumerating the fruits of specific tīrtha-related acts: bathing at Utpātaka, performing water-offerings at Aṣṭāvakra, and fasting for twelve days, culminating in the claim that these together yield Naramedha-level merit.
