Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shalya Parva Chapter 47 · Verse 48
Sanskrit Original
तथा चेदं ददाम्यद्य नियमेन सुतोषितः। विशेषं तव कल्याणि प्रयच्छामि वरं वरे॥ अरुन्धत्या वरस्तस्या यो दत्तो वै महात्मना। तस्य चाहं प्रभावेण तव कल्याणि तेजसा॥ प्रवक्ष्यामि परं भूयो वरमत्र यथाविधि। यस्त्वेका रजनी तीर्थे वत्स्यते सुसमाहितः॥ स स्नात्वा प्राप्स्यते लोकान् देहन्यासात् सुदुर्लभान्।
O amiable maiden, you have practised severer penances. Gratified with your vows, I shall also grant you this especial boon, O auspicious one, a boon that is superior to what was granted to Arundhati. Through the power of the great god who had granted that boon to Arundhati and through your own energy, O amiable one, I shall duly grant you another boon now, viz., that the person who will live in this Tirtha for only one night and bathe here with his mind concentrated, will, after renouncing his body, obtain many blissful regions that are difficult of acquisition.
