The man who bathes there fasting for three nights, is cleansed of even the sin of killing a Brahmana. He obtains the fruits greater than those of Agnishtoma and the Atiratha (sacrifices). O best of the Bharata race, he saves his ancestors seven generations upwards and downwards.
त्रिरात्रोपोषितः स्नात्वा मुच्यते ब्रह्महत्यया। अग्निष्टोमातिरात्राभ्यां फलं विन्दति मानवः॥ आसप्तमं कुलं चैव पुनाति भरतर्षभ।
