Parikramā
तस्मिंस्तीर्थे तु तं दृष्ट्वा स्पृष्ट्वा पापैः प्रमुच्यते ॥ कुण्डं शिवस्य विख्यातं तत्र स्नानफलं महत् ॥
tasmiṃs tīrthe tu taṃ dṛṣṭvā spṛṣṭvā pāpaiḥ pramucyate | kuṇḍaṃ śivasya vikhyātaṃ tatra snāna-phalaṃ mahat |
उस तीर्थ पर जाके जब उसको देखो और स्पर्श करो, तो पाप से छुट मिलेगी। वहाँ शिव जी का एक कुंड है जो काफी मशहूर है। वहाँ नहाने का बहुत बड़ा फल मिलता है।
