O virtuous one, one should then go, after bowing to the great mountain. To the source of the Ganges which is certainly like the gate of heaven. There one should with controlled soul bathe in the Tirtha called Koti.
ततो गच्छेतधर्मज्ञ नमस्कृत्य महागिरिम्॥ स्वर्गद्वारेण यत् तुल्यं गङ्गाद्वारं न संशयः। तत्राभिषेकं कुर्वीत कोटितीर्थे समाहितः॥
