Bṛhaspati Said:: Dharma (Virtue) is directly perceived in these two holy centres. By going into the cave (?) of Śāṇḍilya and that of Vāmana one becomes purified (and sinless) and the Śrāddha performed there is of inexhaustible merit. Whatever one does, Japa, Homa, penance or meditation, becomes well done. He who maintains the vow of celibacy and devotion to the preceptor lives for a hundred years. These and others are the excellent rivers by taking bath in which one can get rid of sins.
