विद्यायाश्च प्रभावेन जीवयामास तान्मुनिः । तस्याग्रेऽस्मिन्महाकुण्डं निर्मलं पापनाशनम्
vidyāyāśca prabhāvena jīvayāmāsa tānmuniḥ | tasyāgre'sminmahākuṇḍaṃ nirmalaṃ pāpanāśanam
Sa kapangyarihan ng vidyā na iyon, muling binuhay ng pantas na muni ang mga iyon. Sa harap niya rito ay naroon ang Mahākuṇḍa, dakilang banal na lawa, walang dungis at tagapuksa ng kasalanan.

Mahākuṇḍa—described as nirmala (pure) and pāpa-nāśana (sin-destroying).
Implicitly introduces the tīrtha; the next verse specifies snāna (bathing) and śrāddha as key acts.
