In a sacred dialogue, a wondrous region is described, where the confluence of divine rivers bestows extraordinary blessings upon all who visit. Those who bathe in these holy waters are lifted to heaven, cleansed of all impurities of speech and body. The merit gained here is so great that it equals the complete fruit of ten Aśvamedha sacrifices, and after enjoying such rewards, one attains equality with the divine upon earth. This confluence, cherished by all happiness, attracts celestial beings. Gandharvas, Apsarases, serpent maidens, and Nagas descend from heaven, joined by Siddhas and Kinnaras, to partake in its sanctity. Especially at the sacred fords, the river known as Śvategaṅgā respectfully unites with others—Gaṇḍakī, Kṛṣṇā, and that which emerges from the body of Kṛṣṇa. This mighty river is also called Triśūlagaṅgā, and in the divine domain, it is celebrated as holy and supremely purifying. Within this region lies Siddhāśrama, famed for enhancing merit. Its landscape is adorned with clusters of banana trees, blossoming with various flowers and fruits. Date palms, asoka, bakula, mango, and priyaala trees flourish alongside oranges, jujubes, lemons, and citrons. Jasmine, kuravaka, nāga, kuṭaja, and pomegranate trees add to the beauty. At the lake formed by the confluence of these sacred rivers, bathing during the month of Vaiśākha grants the merit of gifting a thousand cows. During Kārttika, when the sun is in Libra, those who stay for three nights with discipline and devotion, performing sacrifice, austerity, charity, offerings to ancestors, and worship of their chosen deity, are forgiven all offenses committed against the earth. This confluence of divine rivers is proclaimed here, in this great sacred region, where the divine presence stands facing east upon the earth. Listen, O Earth, for there is more: Shiva himself stands at the southern side, free from all affliction. Whoever finds Shiva surely finds the divine as well, and those who worship Shiva indeed worship the supreme. Thus, this region is the embodiment of both Hari and Hara. First comes the field of liberation, then the region called Ruru. The sacred area stretches up to the confluence with the Gandaki. Where the holy Bhagirathi joins the Ganga, immense merit is found. The Gandaki, united with the Bhagirathi, is praised above all. This, O beautiful one, is what is revealed about Shalagrama and the merit dear to Bhagavan’s devotees, as previously described. It is the highest of all merits, the greatest of all austerities, the supreme gain—there is none greater. Such merit should not be shared with the unworthy or those who do not know how to serve. Those free from greed, delusion, and pride, whose minds are virtuous, uplift their families—seven paternal, seven maternal, and seven by marriage—through their actions in this sacred region.
