Chapter 82
कुमारिकाणां शक्रस्य तीर्थ सिद्धनिषेवितम् । तत्र स्नात्वा नर: क्षिप्रं स्वर्गलोकमवाप्लनुयात्,शक्रकुमारिकातीर्थ सिद्ध पुरुषोंद्वारा सेवित है। वहाँ स्नान करके मनुष्य शीघ्र ही स्वर्गलोक प्राप्त कर लेता है
ghulastya uvāca | kumārikāṇāṃ śakrasya tīrthaṃ siddhaniṣevitam | tatra snātvā naraḥ kṣipraṃ svargalokam avāpnoti ||
Ito ang banal na tawiran ni Śakra (Indra) na tinatawag na “Kumārikās” (Mga Dalaga), na dinadalaw ng mga siddha. Ang sinumang maligo rito ay agad na makaaabot sa daigdig ng langit.
