O Maheswari! A mortal attains the reward from the Darsana (visit) of Mukuta which one gets by staying in Kasi for hundred years. The reward which a mortal receives after bathing for thousand years in Prayaga in the month Magha is undoubtedly received by bathing in Mukuta Ganga only for one day. Killer of a Brahamna, a stealer of gold , a drunkard, a violater of teachers bed, and one who indulged in sensual attachment with him is absolved, O Maheshwari! By taking a bath here. Learned or unlearned, wanton or un-wanton is emancipated by taking a bath in Mukuta Ganga. O Maheshwari ! there is no better sacred place, no higher merit than this, no better virtue, not even a sacrifice, prayer and even the religious offering (homa) O Parvati! Than the bath taken by one in the excellent water fallen from the crown. What is the use of saying more. |

| In Kali age, (KaliYuga), a sinner should perform the pilgrimage of Mukuta Ganag with great effort (care/devotion). O Devisi! In Siva’s ordinance, merit of Mukuta Ganga where Karanka Ksetra. |

Also the place known as Satrugeha and Ramaradanaka Tirtha and the auspicious Bharata Giri and also the Disad Ksetra of Bhargava in the form of shaves of the hair is situated firmly and also Mahisipaddhati and Brahmasarovara Hansadwara, Krauncarandara and also Asrubindu O Iswari !
The Nandi ksetra, the most auspicious Mahakala ksetra, the very lofty peak of the mountain named Haramukha is told as hundred times from Hardwara and thousand times from Varanasi . And the holy Mukuta Ganga is the destroyer of great sins, so it has been enlightened by me hundred times more than Haradwara. The journey here should be performed with great care by those desirous of salvation. O one with beautiful face! A man or a woman taking bath in Ganga Sarovara attains great merit. It is absolutely true.
First chapter of the description of the greatness (glory) of Hara Mukuta Ganga from the compilation of sacred places connected with the theme of ‘Waves’ ends.
Bhairavi O Lord ! kindly tell me about the journey (pilgrimage) of Uttara Ganga, after performing which, one is absolved of the sins of various births. Sri Bhairava: Listen, O Devi! I will tell about the pilgrimage of Uttara Ganga, |
