Chapter 82
मणिमन्तं समासाद्य ब्रह्मचारी समाहित: । एकरात्रोषितो राजन्नग्निष्टोमफलं लभेत्,राजन! एकाग्रचित्त हो ब्रह्मचर्य-पालनपूर्वक मणिमान् तीर्थमें जाय और वहाँ एक रात निवास करे। इससे अग्निष्टोमयज्ञका फल प्राप्त होता है
maṇimantaṃ samāsādya brahmacārī samāhitaḥ | ekarātroṣito rājann agniṣṭomaphalaṃ labhet ||
O Hari, kung ang isang disiplinadong brahmacārin, na may tipon at tuwirang pagtuon ng isip, ay pumunta sa banal na pook na tinatawag na Maṇimant at manatili roon nang isang gabi, matatamo niya ang meritong katumbas ng sakripisyong Agniṣṭoma.

A speaker addresses the king and describes the merit of visiting the tīrtha named Maṇimant: a brahmacārin who reaches it and stays one night gains the fruit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice, as part of a broader account praising sacred places and their results.
