O mighty-armed hero, bathing in that Tirtha one is cleansed of his sins. Bathing in the Ganges with concentrated mind and with Brahmacharya life. One is cleansed of all his sins and obtains the fruits of Vajapeya sacrifice.
तस्मिंस्तीर्थे महाबाहो स्नात्वा पापैः प्रमुच्यते। गङ्गायां तु नरः स्नात्वा ब्रह्मचारी समाहितः॥ विधूतपाप्मा भवति वाजपेयं च विन्दति।
