vasur uväca
tato gacched vidhisute / térthaà yajïäìga-sambhavam
indradyumna-saro näma / yaträste pävanaà çubham 1

Therefore O daughter of Brahmä, one should go to that bathing place born of the body of Lord Viñëu, named Indradyumna-saraù. It is very sanctified and causes auspiciousness.

tatra gatvä çucir vidvän / äcamya manasä harim
dhyätvopasthäya ca vibhuà / mantram enam udérayet 2

Then after bathing and sipping water, meditating within his mind upon Lord Hari and worshipping that all-pervading Lord one should utter this mantra:

açvamedhäìga-saàbhüta / tértha sarvägha-näçana
snänaà tvayi karomy adya / päpaà hara / namo ‘stu te 3

O holy place, born of the açvamedha-yajïa, who destroy all sin. Now I bathe in your waters Please remove my sins. I bow unto you.

evam uccärya vidhivat / snatvä devän åñén pitèn
tilodakena vänyäàç ca / santarpyäcampya vägyataù 4

After thus uttering clearly this mantra in accord with precept, and having satisfied with a tiny portion of that water the devas, sages, forefathers and any others.

dattvä pitåëäà piëòäàç ca / saàpüjya puruñottamam
daçäçvamedhikaà samyak / phalaà präpnoti mänavaù 5

After offering piëòa to the forefathers, and worshipping the Supreme Personality of Godhead, a man achieves the full benefit of performing ten açvamedha sacrifices.

saptävarän sapta-parän / vaàçänuddhåtya devavat
kämagena vimänena / viñëu-lokaà sa gacchati 6

One liberates seven generations before and after oneself and shining like a god one goes to Viñëu loka on an airplane which can travel according to one’s desire. 

bhuktvä tatra varän bhogän / yävac candrärka-tärakän
cyutas tasmäd ihäyäto / mokñaà ca labhate dhruvam 7

Having enjoyed there blessings and pleasures for as many years as there are moons, suns and stars, he falls down from that place. Then in this world he makes further efforts and surely attains liberation.

evaà kåtvä païca-térthém / ekädaçyäm upoñitaù
jyeñöha-çukle païcadaçyäà / yah paçyet puruñottamam 8

Having thus bathed at the five térthas while fasting on the Jyeñöha-çukla Ekädaçé, one can see Puruñottama (the Supreme Personality of Godhead) on the Païcadaçé (full moon day).

sa pürvokta-phalaà präpya / kréòitvä cäcyutälaye
präyäti paramaà sthänaà / yasmän nävartate punaù 9

Having obtained the benefits which I have formerly mentioned, after sporting in the abode of Acyuta, one now goes to the supreme situation from whence one never again returns.

påthivyäà yäni térthäni / saritaç ca saräàsi ca
puñkariëyas taòägäni / väpyaù küpas tathä hradäù 10

nänä nadyaç ca samudräç ca / saptähaà puruñottame
jyeñöha-çukla-daçamy-ädi / pratyakñaà yänti sarvadä 11

On the earth as many holy bathing places as there are, including rivers, lakes, ponds of lotus flowers, tanks, wells, and lagoons as well as many streams and the seven oceans all of them become manifest in Jagannätha Puré on the seven days beginning with daçamé on the bright fortnight in the month of Jyeñöha. 

snäna-dänädikaà yasmäd / devatä-prekñane sati 
nåbhir yat kriyate tatra / tat sarvaà cäkñayaà bhavet 12

Because of this when humans during that time, bathe at these holy places, give charity and take the sacred sight of the Supreme Lord’s Deity form, all of that becomes an imperishable transcendental asset.

jyeñöha-mäse tu daçamé / çukla-pakñasya mohini
harate daça päpäni / tasmäd daça-harä småtä 13

O mohini, the tenth day of bright fortnight in the month of Jyeñöha, takes away the ten kinds of sins. For this reason it is known as daça-harä (remover of the ten).

yas tasyäà halinaà kåñëaà / paçyed bhadraà ca suvrataù
sarva-päpa-vinirmukto / viñëu-lokaà vrajen naraù 14

That dedicated man who in the daça-harä looks upon Balaräma, the wielder of the plough, Lord Krñëa and Bhadrä, their sister, he, liberated from all sin, can enter the abode of Lord Viñëu.

naro dolä gataà dåñövä / govindaà puruñottamam
phalgunyäà saàyato bhütvä / govindasya param vrajet 15

The man who with controlled senses looks upon Çré Govinda, the transcendental Personality of Godhead, swung upon a swing in the month of Phalguna, can enter the supreme abode of Govinda.

viñuve divase präpte / païca-tértha-vidhänataù
dåñövä saìkarñaëaà kåñëaà / subhadräà ca sulocane 16

naraù samasta-yajïänäà phalaà präpnoti durlabham
vimuktaù sarva-päpebhyo / viñëu-lokaà sa gacchati 17

O girl with beautiful eyes, on the day of the equinox, that man who follows the practice of païca-tértha, and sees Ñaìkarñaëa, Kåñëa and Subhadrä obtains the rarely attained fruit of performing all sacrifices, and freed from all sins he enters the planet of Lord Viñëu.

yaù paçyati tåtéyäyäà / kåñëaà candana-rüpinam
vaiçäkhasya site pakñe / sa yäty acyuta-mandiram 18

He who sees Çré Kåñëa in the dress of sandalwood on the third day of the dark fortnight in the month of Vaiçäkha enters Lord Acyuta’s house.

yadä bhaven mahä-jyaiñöhé / räçé-nakñatra yogataù
prayatnena tadä martyair / gantavyaà puruñottamam 19

kåñëaà dåñövä mahä-jyaiñöhyäà / rämaà bhadraà ca mohini
naro dvädaça-yäträëäà / phalaà präpnoti cädhikam 20

When by the conjunction of the full moon and the stars the mahä-jyaiñöhé (in the month of Jyeñöha), is formed, mortal men should endeavor to go to Puruñottama Kñetra (Puré). O Mohini, by seeing Kåñëa, Räma and Bhadrä on the Mahä-jyaiñöhé, a man obtains more benefit than from attending twelve rathayäträs.
