तीर्थ चात्र सर: पुण्यं वसूनां भरतर्षभ । तत्र स्नात्वा च पीत्वा च वसूनां सम्मतो भवेत्,भरतश्रेष्ठ! उस तीर्थमें वसुओंका पवित्र सरोवर है। उसमें स्नान और जलपान करनेसे मनुष्य वसु देवताओंका प्रिय होता है। नरश्रेष्ठ! वहीं सिन्धूत्तम नामसे प्रसिद्ध तीर्थ है, जो सब पापोंका नाश करनेवाला है। उसमें स्नान करनेसे प्रचुर स्वर्णराशिकी प्राप्ति होती है
