The Māhātmya of Kṛṣṇagaṅgodbhava, Kāliñjara, and the Five Sacred Baths: The Tale of Pāñcāla and Tilottamā
तत्पञ्चतीर्थस्नानेन समं नास्त्यत्र संशयः ॥ एकादश्यां च विश्रान्तौ द्वादश्यां सौकरे तथा ॥
tatpañcatīrthasnānena samaṃ nāsty atra saṃśayaḥ || ekādaśyāṃ ca viśrāntau dvādaśyāṃ saukare tathā
पंचतीर्थ में नहा के जो पाप मिलती है, उसके बराबर कुछ नहीं है। इसमें कोई शक नहीं। एकादशी को विश्रांत में और द्वादशी को सौकर में नहाना अच्छा है।
