Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas

Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana

तत्पश्चात्‌ मेधाविकतीर्थमें जाकर देवताओं और पितरोंका तर्पण करे; ऐसा करनेवाला पुरुष अग्निष्टोमयज्ञका फल पाता और स्मृति एवं बुद्धिको प्राप्त कर लेता है ।। अत्र कालगज्जरं नाम पर्वतं लोकविश्रुतम्‌ । तत्र देवहदे स्नात्वा गोसहस्रफलं लभेत्‌,इस तीर्थमें कालंजर नामक लोकविख्यात पर्वत है, वहाँ देवह्दद नामक तीर्थमें स्नान करनेसे सहस्र गोदानका फल मिलता है

tatpaścāt medhāvikatīrthaṁ gatvā devatā-pitṝṇāṁ tarpaṇaṁ kuryāt; evaṁ kṛtvā puruṣo ’gniṣṭoma-yajñasya phalaṁ prāpnoti smṛtiṁ ca buddhiṁ ca labhate. atra kālagajjaraṁ nāma parvataṁ lokaviśrutam; tatra devahrade snātvā go-sahasra-phalaṁ labhet.

Pulastya says that one should then go to the sacred ford called Medhāvika and offer libations to the gods and the ancestors. A person who performs this rite gains the merit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice and attains clarity of memory and intelligence. In that same region stands the world-renowned mountain called Kālagajjara; bathing in the holy pool named Devahrada there yields the merit equal to gifting a thousand cows.
