Varaha Purana 157.47: Adhyaya 157, Shloka 47
Praise of the Malayārjuna Sacred Ford and the Mathurā-Yamunā Pilgrimage Cycle
ख्याता एते पञ्च देशा महापापविनाशनाः ॥ तेषु स्नानेषु वसुधे ब्रह्मणा सह मोदते ॥
khyātā ete pañca deśā mahāpāpavināśanāḥ || teṣu snāneṣu vasudhe brahmaṇā saha modate
यह पाँच जगह बहुत मशहूर हैं क्योंकि यहाँ नहा के बड़े पाप मिट जाते हैं। वसुधे, इन जगहों पर नहा के इंसान ब्रह्मा के साथ खुश होता है।
