One is freed from all sins; and becoming pure souled he is adored in the region of Brahma. O ruler of men, in the east of Manusha, only a kosa from it. There is a celebrated river named Apaga which is ever frequented by the Siddhas. The man who offers there Shyamaka food. To the celestials and the Pitris secures great virtuous merit. One Brahmana svd there is equal to million of Brahmanas fed.
सर्वपापविशुद्धात्मा स्वर्गलोके महीयते। मानुषस्य तु पूर्वेण क्रोशमात्रे महीपते॥ आपगा नाम विख्याता नदी सिद्धनिषेविता। श्यामाकं भोजने तत्र यः प्रयच्छन्ति मानवः॥ देवान् पितृन् समुद्दिश्य तस्यधर्मफलं महत्। एकस्मिन् भोजिते विप्रे कोटिर्भवति भोजिता॥
