yastatra kurute snānamekacitto narottamaḥ | sarvatīrthābhiṣekasya sa prāpnotyakhilaṃ phalam
હે નરોત્તમ! જે ત્યાં એકાગ્ર ચિત્તે સ્નાન કરે છે, તે સર્વ તીર્થોના અભિષેકનું સંપૂર્ણ ફળ પ્રાપ્ત કરે છે.
Śiva (deduced from Mahādevī-addressed dialogue in this adhyāya)
Tirtha: Cakratīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Pilgrim/audience (and by extension Devī in surrounding context)
Scene: A devoted pilgrim stands waist-deep in sacred water at dawn, hands joined, eyes lowered in concentration; faint silhouettes of many tīrthas (rivers, ghats, mountains) appear as visionary overlays around him, signifying ‘all-tīrtha abhiṣeka’ fruit.
