puṣkare tu kurukṣetre gaṅgāyāṃ madhyameṣu ca | snātvā tārayate jantuḥ saptasaptāvarāṃs tathā ||
Pulastya said: By bathing at Puṣkara, at Kurukṣetra, and in the Gaṅgā and other central tīrthas, a person becomes a means of deliverance—raising and redeeming seven generations before and seven generations after himself.
