And in Rudrakoti and also in the wells and lakes that are there. O ruler of earth, O best of the Bharata race, there is also the Tirtha called Ilaspada. Bathing in it and worshipping there the Pitris and the celestials, one does not meet with any calamity. He obtains the fruits of Vajapeya (sacrifice).
रुद्रकोट्यां तथा कूपे ह्रदेषु च महीपते। इलास्पदं च तत्रैव तीर्थं भरतसत्तम॥ तत्र स्नात्वार्चयित्वा च दैवतानि पितृनथ। न दुर्गतिमवाप्नोति वाजपेयं च विन्दति॥
