Brāhmaṇya-प्रश्नः — The Inquiry into Attaining Brāhmaṇya
Mataṅga–Gardabhī Itihāsa
कालोदकं नन्दिकुण्डं तथा चोत्तरमानसम् | अभ्येत्य योजनशताद्ू भ्रूणहा विप्रमुच्यते
kālodakaṃ nandikuṇḍaṃ tathā cottaramānasam | abhyetya yojanaśatād bhṛūṇahā vipramucyate ||
若有人跋涉百由旬，来到名为“迦罗陀迦”（Kālodaka）、“难提昆陀”（Nandikuṇḍa）与“北摩那萨”（Uttaramānasa）的圣水之地，并在其中沐浴，即便犯下弑杀婆罗门胎（brahmaṇa-embryo killing）这等重罪，也能从罪垢中解脱。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that pilgrimage to certain highly revered tīrthas—undertaken with significant effort—can function as a powerful means of expiation, symbolizing the possibility of moral purification and reintegration even after severe wrongdoing.
In a discourse on tīrthas and their merits, the speaker lists specific sacred waters (Kālodaka, Nandikuṇḍa, Uttaramānasa) and states their exceptional purificatory efficacy: one who reaches them after traveling a great distance is said to be freed from the sin of embryo-killing.
