As soon as one enters that forest all sins are destroyed. There flows that best of streams, that foremost river of all rivers, that sacred goddess, O king, which is known (there) by the name of Plaksha Devi; bathing there in the water issuing forth from the bill.
तद् वनं प्रविशन्नेव सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते। ततश्चापि सरिच्छ्रेष्ठा नदीनामुत्तमा नदी॥ प्लक्षादेवी स्रता राजन् महापुण्या सरस्वती। तत्राभिषेकं कुर्वीत वल्मीकान्निःसृते जले॥
