Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 36

Devanagari script

उपेंद्रतप्तानि तपांसि तैश्चिरं स्नाता हि ते चाखिलतीर्थसार्थकैः । स्नात्वेह ये वै मणिकर्णिका ह्रदे समासते मुक्तिजनाश्रयेक्षणम्

Transliteration

upeṃdrataptāni tapāṃsi taiściraṃ snātā hi te cākhilatīrthasārthakaiḥ | snātveha ye vai maṇikarṇikā hrade samāsate muktijanāśrayekṣaṇam

Translation

由他们而得，等同于优彭陀罗（Upendra）所修的苦行，仿佛已久修多时；确然，他们如同一并沐浴于一切圣渡（tīrtha）汇聚之功德。凡在此处摩尼迦耳尼迦（Maṇikarṇikā）池中沐浴，并在求解脱者所依止之处哪怕片刻安坐者，皆得那净化之力。
