O best of the Bharata race, in that Tirtha there is a lake of the Vasus. Bathing in it and drinking its water, one becomes respected of the Vasus. O foremost of men, it is known by the name of Sindhuttama and it destroys all sins. Bathing in it one obtains (the fruits of giving away) much gold.
तीर्थे चात्र सरः पुण्यं वसूनां भरतर्षभ। तत्र स्नात्वा च पीत्वा च वसूनां सम्मतो भवेत्॥ सिन्धूत्तममिति ख्यातं सर्वपापप्रणाशनम्। तत्र स्नात्वा नरश्रेष्ठ लभेद् बहु सुवर्णकम्॥
