He should take ablutions three times (a day) and remain clean. He should worship Isa, the three-eyed Lord of Devas, three times. O great king, the number of Homas shall be one-tenth thereof(?) He should perform the Japa of the Lord a hundred thousand times and worship with scents and garlands. At night he shall in dream see himself seated in an aerial chariot. Thereafter he should hurl himself. One who hurls himself in accordance with this procedure shall attain the heavenly world and sport about along with Devas. After enjoying soul-stirring pleasures for thirty crore thirty thousand years, he shall return to the earth and enjoy the whole earth under his single umbrella. He will be adored by the people. Freed from ailments and grief he will live for a hundred years. That Tirtha is well-known in all the three worlds asjvalesvara. O son of KuntI, the river Jvala created by Siva flows there. After extinguishing the fire in the city of Bana, it joins Reva, O great king. The devotee should take his holy bath there in accordance with the injunctions. Duly uttering the Mantras he shall propitiate the Pitrs and deities with water mixed with gingelly seeds and offerings of balls of rice. He shall attain the benefit of Paundarlka sacri- fice.
