With a tranquil heart, the sage addressed the Yaksha in gentle, reassuring words. “This sacred place,” he declared, “shall be celebrated as Dhanayaksha. It possesses the power to bestow beauty upon the body and grant supreme assurance. Therefore, those who seek merit should bathe here with sincere effort.” He continued, “Here, one should give gifts with faith and according to one’s capacity, and especially offer worship to the goddess Lakshmi. Through such worship, O virtuous one, even the nine treasures are honored: Mahapadma, Padma, Shankha, Makara, and Kacchapa—these and the others will have their presence in this very pool, O sinless one. Within these waters, one should perform the worship of the treasures and Lakshmi with devotion. Offerings of various kinds of food and diverse garments should be made, along with gold and other valuables, given honestly and within one’s means, never with deceit. Above all, fruits and gold are to be offered.” The sage emphasized, “Bathing here on the fourteenth day of the dark fortnight yields abundant results. Especially in the month of Magha, on this very day, the annual pilgrimage should be observed. As you perform these acts, say, ‘May the world, from Brahma down to a single blade of grass, be satisfied.’ O Yaksha, one who acts in this way is never deluded.” He instructed further, “After bathing here, O Yaksha, you must perform the worship in front, reciting the mantra: ‘Salutation to Pramatharaja.’ This worship of the treasures and Lakshmis is especially meant for you. Whoever seeks wealth will obtain wealth; whoever desires a son will gain a son. But if a person, out of delusion, neglects this sacred bathing, O Yaksha—” Having thus granted his blessings, the great sage Vishvamitra sanctified the place, and from that moment it gained supreme renown. Adorned on all sides with clusters of divine jewels, it shone with a brilliant radiance. To the north of the abode of the Yaksha of wealth, in that direction, O twice-born, resides the ever-present sage Vasishtha, a treasure-house of austerity. There, after performing the Śrāddha, one should bathe with unwavering attention. The presence of Vāmadeva is also found there, O sinless one, and the devoted wife Arundhati is especially worthy of worship at this spot. Here, the attainment of all desired fruits is assured—there is no doubt of this. In the month of Bhādra, on the fifth day of the bright fortnight, with steadfast observance, one must perform the worship of Vishnu here with care and faith. At Vasishtha’s pool, O best of Brahmins, situated in the eastern quarter, by bathing and giving, one attains all desires. On the full moon, the merit gained by bathing here is equal to that of bathing in the ocean itself. Therefore, those who desire a son should bathe here in the prescribed manner. In this way, a wise person is freed from all sins. In the southwest quarter from the ocean is the excellent Yoginī pool. The Yoginīs grant the fulfillment of all aims to people, and especially to women. This is particularly fruitful on the eighth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Āśvina. Here, bathing and the giving of gifts yield abundant results. Before the Yoginī Lake lies the excellent Urvaśī Lake, completing the circle of these sacred and wondrous places.
