English
There is an excellent Tirtha on the northern bank of Reva. It is destructive of all sins in the mortal world. It is (known) by the name Gautamesvara. It has been established by Gautama himself, with a desire for the welfare of all the worlds. O Yudhisthira, this Tirtha is in the form of a flight of stairs unto heaven for all men. Go there with great devotion to the place where the Lord, the preceptor of the universe, is present for the sake of the destruction of sins. He is also the bestower of a residence in Svarga.
