मद्वाक्याद्याति नो नाशं यावदेतज्जगत्त्रयम् ६.९०.
By my command, destruction will not occur as long as these three worlds endure.
एतस्मिन्नंतरे शक्र आदिदेश त्वरान्वितः
Meanwhile, Indra, filled with urgency, gave instructions.
तेऽपि शक्रसमादेशात्समस्तधरणीतलम्
By Indra’s command, they all went to the surface of the earth.
अथाब्रवीत्पुनर्ब्रह्मा देवैः सार्धं हुताशनम् सांप्रतं त्वं वरं मत्तः प्रार्थयस्वाभिवांछितम्
Then Brahma spoke again, together with the gods, to Agni: 'Now, ask from me the boon you desire.'
अयं जलाशयः पुण्यो मन्नाम्ना पृथिवीतले
This sacred reservoir, bearing my name, is upon the earth.
अत्र यः प्रातरुत्थाय स्नात्वा श्रद्धा समन्वितः तस्य तुष्टिस्त्वया कार्या द्रुतं मद्वाक्यतः प्रभो
Whoever rises in the morning, bathes here with faith, you must quickly grant satisfaction to him, O Lord, as per my command.
अत्र यः प्रातरुत्थाय स्नात्वा वै वेदविद्द्विजः
Whoever rises in the morning, bathes here, and is a Brahmin learned in the Vedas,
अग्निष्टोमस्य यज्ञस्य सकलं लप्स्यते फलम्
He will obtain the full fruit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice.
एवमुक्त्वा स भगवान्विरराम पितामहः
Having spoken thus, the venerable Pitāmaha ceased.
एवं तत्र समुद्भूतं वह्नितीर्थं महाद्भुतम्
Thus, at that place, the wondrous Vahni Tīrtha arose.
ममातृप्तस्य लोकेश तावद्द्वादशवत्सरान् ६.९०.
O Lord of the world, while I remain unsatisfied, for twelve years,
भविष्यंति तथा यज्ञा कालेन महता विभो
In this way, sacrifices will take place in due course, O mighty one.

By offering the stream of water from Vasudhāra, they will honor you day and night.
तर्पयिष्यंति सद्भक्त्या ततः पुष्टिमवाप्स्यसि
They will satisfy you with true devotion, and then you will obtain nourishment.
संक्रांति समये येषां वसोर्धाराप्रदायिनाम्
At the time of transition, for those who give the stream of water from Vasudhāra,
तेषां पापं च यत्किंचिज्ज्ञानतोऽज्ञानतः कृतम्
Whatever sin has been committed by them, knowingly or unknowingly,
त्वयि तुष्टिं गते पश्चाद्भविष्यति महीपतिः
Once satisfaction is attained in you, a king will arise thereafter.
स कृत्वा श्रद्धया युक्तः सत्रं द्वादशवार्षिकम् कलशस्य च वक्त्रेणाविच्छिन्नेन दिवानिशम्
He, endowed with faith, will perform a twelve-year sacrificial session, with the mouth of the vessel uninterrupted day and night.
ततस्तुष्टिं परां प्राप्य परां पुष्टिमवाप्स्यसि
Then, having attained supreme satisfaction, you will obtain the highest nourishment.
अद्यप्रभृति यत्किंचित्कर्म चात्र भविष्यति संभविष्यति तत्सर्वं तव तृप्तिकरं परम्
From today onward, whatever action occurs here, all of it will be supremely satisfying to you.
अपि यद्वैश्वदेवीयं कर्म किंचिद्द्विजन्मनाम् ६.९०.
Even whatever Vaiśvadeva rites are performed by the twice-born,
यस्माद्भवति संपूर्णं कर्म यज्ञादिकं हि तत्
Because of this, all ritual actions, including sacrifices, become complete.
यः सम्यक्छ्रद्धया युक्तो वसोर्द्धारां प्रदास्यति
Whoever, endowed with proper faith, offers the stream of ghee,
इति श्रीस्कांदे महापुराण एकाशीतिसाहस्र्यां संहितायां षष्ठे नागरखण्डे हाटकेश्वरक्षेत्रमाहात्म्ये वसोर्द्धारामाहात्म्यवर्णनंनाम नवतितमोऽध्यायः
Thus ends the ninetieth chapter, entitled 'The Description of the Greatness of the Offering of Ghee,' in the section on Hāṭakeśvara Kṣetra, in the sixth book of the eighty-one-thousand-verse Śrī Skanda Mahāpurāṇa.
संतोष्य पावकं क्रुद्धं स्वयमेव द्विजोत्तमाः
Having appeased the angry Fire, the best of twice-born themselves,
ततः सर्वैः सुरैः सार्धं शक्रविष्णुशिवादिभिः
Then, together with all the gods, including Śakra, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and others,
पावकोऽपि द्विजेंद्राणामग्निहोत्रेषु संस्थितः
Fire also, among the foremost twice-born, was established in the fire rituals.
एवं तत्र समुद्भूतमग्नितीर्थमनुत्तमम्
Thus, there arose at that place the unsurpassed sacred site of Fire.
अथ संप्रस्थितान्दृष्ट्वा तान्देवान्स्वाश्रमं प्रति
Then, seeing those gods departing towards their own hermitage,
युष्मत्कृते वयं शप्ताः पावकेन सुरेश्वराः
For your sake, we were cursed by Fire, O lords of the gods.
