In the sacred narrative, the god known as Guptahari is celebrated throughout all the worlds for his concealed yet profound presence. Here, in this holy place, those among living beings who excel in worship, sacrifice, recitation, and similar acts of devotion are especially honored. Likewise, those who give charity according to their abilities, having mastered their senses, are regarded with reverence. For the satisfaction of Guptahari, the gods are worshipped by beings who earnestly seek righteousness. It is taught that a cow with golden horns, silver hooves, covered in two garments, with a jeweled tail, yielding milk, and adorned with bell ornaments, should be given to a twice-born who knows the Vedas, possesses virtue, and whose soul is pure. Such a gift, when offered to a brāhmaṇa, brings happiness everywhere. For the satisfaction of Guptahari, the cow must be given here with a heart purified from within. Those who, purified by bathing, approach this place with devotion to the Lord, and those who come to the seat of Hari wielding the discus, should offer the highest gift for Guptahari’s satisfaction. O best of the good, you too are urged to undertake pilgrimage here, following the prescribed injunctions. On the eastern side, from the cow’s ford, the holy area extends for three yojanas. After bathing according to the injunctions, one should carefully behold this sacred place. Even the gods themselves, having performed pilgrimage here with great care, have sanctified it, making this place renowned upon the earth. At the confluence, after bathing, one should worship the concealed Lord Hari, who grants all desired fruits. The pilgrimage to Hari with the discus must also be performed with utmost care. Whoever undertakes this pilgrimage rejoices in the world of Viṣṇu. At this point, Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vyāsa, filled with wonder, spoke again. He expressed his amazement at what had been revealed and requested to hear in detail about this most marvelous greatness. The reply came: "Listen, O best of Brahmins, to the wondrous greatness of the confluence. As learned from Skanda, ten billion thousand and ten billion hundred beings always dwell here—gods, immortals, perfected ones, and yogis alike. A person who bathes in the waters of this confluence with a focused mind, and who performs a sacrifice with a Vaiṣṇava mantra in purity, will attain a fruit equal to a thousand horse sacrifices and a hundred Vājapeya rites. The merit gained by giving gold daily is also obtained here. On auspicious days such as the new moon, the full moon, and both twelfth days, even those who stand for a thousand ages on one foot, or hang with head inverted for ten thousand ages, do not gain results equal to those attained by men here, not even by a hundred sacrifices. Especially in the month of Pauṣa, bathing here yields abundant rewards. Whoever bathes with devotion in this month goes to the abode of Brahman, free from the cycle of return. In Pauṣa, whoever gives a lamp filled with ghee, the best offering, is freed from whatever sin, little or great, accumulated over many births. Such acts bestow long life, health, prosperity, offspring, and supreme happiness. He who, with discipline and devotion, observes a vow on the thirteenth day of the bright fortnight in Pauṣa, and keeps vigil through the night, offering lamps everywhere, is especially blessed." Thus, the greatness of the sacred confluence and the acts performed here are revealed, promising immeasurable merit and divine blessings to all who approach with purity and devotion.
