在婆苏与摩希尼的对话中，摩希尼在听闻普什迦罗的功德后，请求宣说圣者乔达摩隐修林（āśrama）的伟大。婆苏叙述：乔达摩以苦行（tapas）之力，使其道场成为灭罪归依之所，能平息诸苦；若以虔敬（bhakti）长期守持戒愿，终得往生湿婆之境。十二年大旱时，饥饿的诸仙聚至乔达摩隐修林求食；乔达摩以慈悲许诺供养，并入定忆念恒河女神。恒河自地涌现，化为戈达瓦里河；凭苦行神力，稻米当日播种当日收获，供养诸仙直至饥荒止息。湿婆（特里扬巴卡）欢喜显现，赐乔达摩不退转的信爱，并应许常住于近山，此山遂名特里扬巴卡。章中又说：沐浴戈达瓦里（即恒河）、以如法供品礼拜特里扬巴卡、修行祖灵（pitṛ）祭仪、在五榕林（Pañcavaṭī）守愿皆得救度之果；而五榕林因特雷塔纪罗摩曾居更增圣洁。末了指出：诵读或听闻此章，皆获功德并成就所愿。

It demonstrates tapas as both spiritual and social power: Gautama’s austerity summons Gaṅgā as Godāvarī and enables daily nourishment, modeling dharma as compassionate hospitality (atithi-sevā) and establishing the āśrama/river complex as a living tīrtha where sin is removed and afflictions are pacified.
Bathing in the Godāvarī (treated as Gaṅgā), worshipping Tryambaka (Śiva) on the mountain with prescribed offerings, and performing pitṛ satisfaction rites; with vow-observance at Pañcavaṭī, these acts are said to free one from saṃsāra and grant desired aims.
