The lord said: The creature immediately obtains a benefit equal to that of hundreds and thousands of sacrifices. What is more wonderful than that? O fair lady, of all the important shrines on the earth and on mountains, Avimukta is the greatest. Understand what has been said by me. The sin mentioned in. the Vedas is recounted by brahmins by the word “Avi”. The holy centre is called Avimukta because it is free from Avi (i.e., sin)[21] and resorted to by me.
