Sanskrit Original

प्रयागं जघनस्थानमुपस्थमृषयो विदुः। प्रयागं सप्रतिष्ठानं कम्बलाश्वतरौ तथा॥ तीर्थं भोगवती चैव वेदिरेषा प्रजापतेः। तत्र वेदाश्च यज्ञाश्च मूर्तिमन्तो युधिष्ठिर॥ प्रजापतिमुपासन्ते ऋषयश्च तपोधनाः। यजन्ते क्रतुभिर्देवास्तथा चक्रधरा नृपाः॥ तत: पुण्यतमं नाम त्रिषु लोकेषु भारत। प्रयागं सर्वतीर्थभ्यः प्रवदन्त्यधिकं विभो॥ गमनात् तस्य तीर्थस्य नामसंकीर्तनादपि। मृत्युकालभयाच्चापि नर: पापात् प्रमुच्यते॥

And Prayaga is known as the foremost point of that region. Prayaga, Sapratishanta, Kamvala, Asvatari and the Tirtha Bhogavati are the sacrificial altars of Prajapati (Brahma). O hero steady in war, the Vedas and the sacrifices in their embodied forms and also ascetic Rishis adore here Prajapati (Brahma). Here the celestials and the rulers of kingdoms perform their sacrifices. O descendant of Bharata, O lord, therefore Prayaga is the most sacred of all the Tirthas, in fact it is the foremost of all the Tirthas in the three worlds. Going to that Tirtha and singing its name and taking a little carth from it, one is cleansed of all his sins.
