O monarch, king Bharata performed sacrifices here. To perform a horse-sacrifice, he here set free the horse which was the intended victim and which was marked with black strips. He ruled the earth with righteousness. O foremost of men, here did Maruta, protected by Samvarata the foremost of Rishis, succeed in performing excellent sacrifices. O king of kings, bathing here one obtains all the regions. He is purified from all his evil deeds. Therefore bathe at this place.
अत्र वै भरतो राजा राजन् क्रतुभिरिष्टवान्। हयमेधेन यज्ञेन मेध्यमश्वमवासृजत्॥ असकृत् कृष्णसारङ्गंधर्मेणाप्य च मेदिनीम्। अत्रैव पुरुषव्याघ्र मरुत्तः सत्रमुत्तमम्॥ प्राप चैवर्षिमुख्येन संवर्तेनाभिपालितः। अत्रोपस्पृश्य राजेन्द्र सर्वा ल्लोकान् प्रपश्यति। पूयते दुष्कृताच्चैव अत्रापि समुपस्पृश॥
