इत्येतत्कथितं देवि माहात्म्यं पापनाशनम् । भल्लतीर्थस्य विष्णोस्तु सर्व पातकनाशनम्
ityetatkathitaṃ devi māhātmyaṃ pāpanāśanam | bhallatīrthasya viṣṇostu sarva pātakanāśanam
ଏହିପରି, ହେ ଦେବୀ, ପାପନାଶକ ଏହି ମାହାତ୍ମ୍ୟ କଥିତ ହେଲା। ବିଷ୍ଣୁଙ୍କ ଭଲ୍ଲତୀର୍ଥ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ସମସ୍ତ ପାତକ ନାଶକ।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Bhallatīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Devī
Scene: A closing benediction-like statement: the narrator addresses Devī, declaring the māhātmya and Bhallatīrtha’s power to destroy sins; the scene feels like the end of a sacred discourse.
Hearing and remembering tīrtha-māhātmya and approaching the sacred site are presented as means for pāpa-kṣaya (destruction of sin).
Bhallatīrtha associated with Viṣṇu in Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
No specific rite is detailed here; the verse emphasizes the general sin-destroying efficacy of the tīrtha and its māhātmya.
