The greatly effulgent Mahadeva lives with his wife on the Sri mountain. There dwell also with great pleasure Brahma and the celestials. Then bathing in the Devahrada with purity and subdued mind, one obtains the fruits of Ashvamedha and attains to the highest state. Going to the Rishabha mountain in Pandya adored by the celestials, one obtains the fruits of Vajapeya (sacrifice) and rejoices in heaven.
श्रीपर्वते महादेवो देव्या सह महाद्युतिः॥ न्यवसत् परमप्रीतो ब्रह्मा च त्रिदशैः सह। तत्र देवह्रदे स्नात्वा शुचिः प्रयतमानसः॥ अश्वमेधमवाप्नोति परां सिद्धिं च गच्छति। ऋषभं पर्वतं गत्वा पाण्ड्ये दैवतपूजितम्। वाजपेयमवाप्नोति नाकपृष्ठे च मोदते॥
