Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 13 · Verse 94
Sanskrit Original
ब्रह्मचर्यं च यौ धत्ते गुरुभक्तिं शतं समाः। एवमाद्यास्सरिच्छ्रेष्ठा यत्स्नानादघमोक्षणम। कुमारधारा तत्रैव दृष्टा पापं प्रणश्यति।।
brahmacaryaṃ ca yau dhatte gurubhaktiṃ śataṃ samāḥ| evamādyāssaricchreṣṭhā yatsnānādaghamokṣaṇam| kumāradhārā tatraiva dṛṣṭā pāpaṃ praṇaśyati||
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.
