O king of kings, one should then go to the Tirtha, celebrated all over the world, which is known by the name of Prithudaka belonging to Kartikeya. O king, by bathing there and worshipping the Pitris and the celestials.
ततो गच्छेत् राजेन्द्र तीर्थं त्रैलोक्यविश्रुतम्॥ पृथूदकमिति ख्यातं कार्तिककेयस्य वै नृप। तत्राभिषेकं कुर्वीत पितृदेवार्चने रतः॥
