O best of sages, listen as I recount the wonders of the supreme field, as described in the sacred verses. Even a woman, if she worships here with faith, attains the same fruits as previously spoken; there is no doubt about this. Truly, the virtues of this holy field are so immense that only the gods and Maheshvara can fully recount them. Whoever, whether man or woman, travels to this excellent field—whether with faith or without—during the months beginning with Madhava, receives great blessings. On any lunar day, O Brahmins, if one bathes in the waters of Bindusaras and beholds the god Virupaksha and the goddess Shiva, the granter of boons, immense merit is gained. If one also beholds Chanda among the hosts, Karttikeya, Ganesha, the sacred bull, the wish-fulfilling tree, and Savitri, that person attains the world of Shiva. Bathing properly at the Kapila ford, which destroys all sins, one fulfills their desires and reaches Shiva’s world. Whoever establishes a pillar there according to the proper rite, with controlled senses, uplifts twenty-one generations of their lineage and attains Shiva’s world. Bathing at Ekamra, the auspicious field of Shiva, which is equal to Varanasi, surely grants liberation. There too is Viraja, the mother goddess established as Brahmani. By seeing her, a mortal purifies his lineage up to the seventh generation. If one worships her with devotion and bows, he uplifts his lineage and attains my world. Other mothers of the worlds also reside there at Viraja—goddesses who remove all sins, grant boons, and delight in devotion. There flows the river Vaitarani, remover of all sins. By bathing in her, O best of men, one is freed from all impurities. There, the self-born Hari himself abides in the form of a boar; seeing him and bowing with devotion, one attains the supreme abode of Vishnu. At Kapila, Gograha, Soma, the ford called Alabu, Mrityunjaya, Krodhatirtha, Vasuki, and Siddhakeshvara—these eight fords at Viraja—whoever, self-controlled and resolute, goes there, bathes according to the rite, and bows to the gods, is freed from all sins. Such a person, mounted on a splendid celestial car and praised by Gandharvas, is honored in my world. Whoever offers the ancestral cake at Viraja, my field, grants inexhaustible satisfaction to their ancestors; there is no doubt. Those who, at Viraja, my field, abandon their bodies truly attain liberation. Whoever, after bathing in the ocean, sees Kapila and Hari, and beholds the goddess Varahi, attains the abode of the gods. There are also other sacred fords and holy shrines; at that time, O best of sages, these should indeed be known. On the northern shore of the ocean, in that land, O best of twice-born, lies a secret supreme field, granting liberation and destroying sin. This field is everywhere covered with sand, pure, fulfilling all desires, and extremely rare, spanning ten yojanas in width. It is adorned with ashoka, arjuna, punnaga, bakula, sal, sarala, jackfruit, coconut, shala, palmyra, and kapittha trees; with champaka, karnikara, mango, bilva, patala, kadamba, kovidara, lakucha, and nagakesara trees; with prachinamalaka, lodhra, orange, dhava, khadira, sarja, bhurja, ashvakarna, tamala, and devadaru trees; with mandara, parijata, banyan, aguru, sandalwood, date, amrataka, siddha, mucukunda, and kimshuka trees; with asvattha, saptaparni, madhudhara, shubhanjana, shimshapa, amalaka, nipa, nimba, tinduka, and vibhitaka trees. The field is rich with fruits and fragrances of all seasons, bright with flowers of every season, delightful to the mind, pure, and resounding with the calls of various birds. The sounds are charming to the ear, sweet, produced by strong and intoxicated birds, pleasing to the mind, and uttered by their mouths. There are chakoras, lotuses, bhringarajas, parrots, cuckoos, kalavinkas, haritas, and jivajivakas; priyaputras, chatakas, and other birds of sweet voice, delighting the ear, singing melodiously, and beautifully settled. Groves of ketaki, atimukta with kubjaka, garlands of malati and kunda, and white and other-colored karavira fill the field. There are jambira, karuna, ankola, pomegranate, bijapura, matulunga, areca nut, hintala, and groves of banana trees, along with many other kinds of trees, charming flowers, bowers of vines, various thickets, and diverse bodies of water. Long ponds, tanks, lotus pools, wells, and sacred waters adorned with clusters of lotuses abound. Beautiful lakes of clear water, adorned with kumuda, lotuses, and splendid blue water-lilies, are everywhere. All around, kahla flowers, lotuses, kadamba trees, chakravaka birds, and waterfowl beautify the land. Karandava ducks, swimming birds, swans, turtles, fish, madgu birds, dātyūha cranes, sarasa birds, koyaṣṭi, and baka birds crowd the waters. Other birds sing all around, dwelling in water, along with aquatic creatures and water-born flowers. Thus, with various trees and flowers from both land and water, and with brahmacharis, householders, forest-dwellers, and mendicants, this supreme field stands, radiant and sacred, bestowing blessings, liberation, and the destruction of sin to all who approach with devotion.
