As Devi Parvati thanked Maha Deva, the latter explained further for the benefit of Bhaktas as follows: Yatah swam darshayaa Maasa Shravanyam cha Harah swayam, Tatascha kathityaa yatraa Shrananyaam cha Harah swayam,Tatascha kathitaa yatraashravanyaam Punya daayani/ Shravani shukla pakshe yartraa Shravanyaam Punyadaayani, Shravani shukla pakshe tu yaatraam kritwaa vidhyaatah/ Yah prapashyet Purnimaayaam Swadhaa Lingam sanatanam, Yaati Shaivam padam sopi Pashupaasha vivrjitah/ ( Maha Deva himself gives darshana and as such yatra on thar particular day viz. Shravana Purnima is extremely significant. Those who seek darshana in the fortnight from that day onward would indeed attain full redemption from all types of Maha Patakas and smash away from the shackles of Pashu Paasha!) Yah prashavanyaam Maha Devi prapashyeedgiri madhyamam, Lingam Amaranaadha rupasa gacchhecchiva sannidhou/ (Maha Devi! Those who have darshana of Amarnatha Linga in Shravana Nakshatra would be rewarded with Shiva Loka nivasa!) Sparshanaat Deva Devasya Lingasya Jagadeshwari, Paapa panchaka nirmukto yaati Shaiva param padam/ (Jagadeshwari! Those who have the great fortune of Maha Deva Linga sparsha would redeem themselves of sins in entirety and attain Parama pada). Vaaranaasyaa dasha gunam Prayaagaaccha shata smritam, Sahasra gunitam Devi Naimishaan kuru, Punya phaladam proktam mayaatava Priyecchayaa/ (Devi! This Amarnath Linga grants the fruits of worship at the Varanasi Linga by ten times, Prayaga’s puja by hundred times, Naimisha by thousand times) Divya Varsha sahasram tu Lingaarbuda prapujanaat, Suvarna pushpa yuktaabhi kshomairvara paramtuyat/ Tatphalam samaapnoti Rasa Lingasya darshanaat/ (Worship of Lingas for several years with golden flowers would equate with Rasa Linga darshana once) Ekaahye Maha Devi Mriga kapuram chandanaat,Karpura chandanaschaapi pujayemamareshwaram, Aapnoti cha Maha punya Amareshwarasya pujanaat/ (Just once Mriga karpura chandana Puja, if done to Amareshwara, that itself would be adequate to accomplish Maha Punya) Muktaabhih swarana pushpaina roupyairvaa, Naro muktimavapnoti satyam satyam varaanane/ ( Even one puja with pearls, golden and silver articles to Amareshwara Linga would suffice to qualify to secure Mukti) Ananaischa Vividhai dravye pujayoramarshwara, Dhupa deepaischa naivedyaih punyamaapnotivaa ganam/(Puja with vividha dravyas and dhupa deepa naivedyas to Rasa Linga, would fetch Yagjna phala) Araariktaam Maheshasya ghritaabhyaktaam karotimah, Tilathailaabhishitaam vaa sayaati Paramampadam/(Following Abhisheka, with ghee or oil, once Bhaktas perform ‘Mangala Arati’ they would fetch the fruits of ‘Paramapada prapti’. Ghrita guggula samyuktaam dhupamati Sundari, Sarva paapa vinirmukto yaatiMaheshwara padam/ (Sundari! Persons duly performing ‘Arati’ with ghee to the Amareshwara Linga shall reach Maheshwara -pada) Pradakshinaardha yo Devi yo dadhaan Maheshwari, Pade pade cha medhaanaam sahasram prapnumaan narah/ (Devi, those who perform half circumambulation to Amara Linga, shall reap the reward of Ashwamedha Yagna for each step!) Tatovaruhecchalaatushrayeh sangamamuttamam, Shraaddam kritwaa vidhaanena tarpaye Pitru Devataah/(On return from the Mountains, the Devotees are advised to return back to the flows of the ‘Sangama’ and duly perform Pitru Shraaddha and execute tarpanas to Pitru Devatas and Devas) Modanti Pitarastasya nrityanti cha samantatah, Adha kurvanti Daayadaah Sangame shraaddhamuttamam/(Pitru Devas on being satisfied with the Tarpana Shraddhas thus at the Daayaadi Sangama would even dance with happiness). Gaya pinda pradaanaishcha shatakalpam Sureshwari, Gacchanti yaam triptimitah pitarah Surapujite/ Kshirakhandaadi bhojascha Brahmanaancha bhojanaat, Taamaapnuvanti Deveshi saktu pindaascha Sangame/ ( Sureshwari, Sura pujite! Gaya Pinda pradana is stated to yield contentment to Pirtu Devas for hundred kalpas; but the type of Shraddhas by serving elaborate menu of ‘Ksheera khanda bhojyaadi bhojana’at Gaya tantamounts to the bland food provided at the Dayaadi Sangama results in much better contentment to the Pitru Devatas). Kurukshetre Prayaagecha Makarepi Devaakare, Shata kalpam Maheshaani snaanaadyatphala maapnuyaat, Tadaapnoti Narotraiva Ekaahasnaana maatratah/ ( Maheshaani! The great Punya phala attainable at Kurukshetra and Prayaga at the entry of Surya Deva into Makara Rashi for hundred kalpas would indeed equate to just one ‘snaana’at the ‘Daayadi Sangama’!) Chudaamane Maha Yogi Kuru kshetre cha tarpanaat, Tadaapnoti pitaro yaanti taam yaati Sangame Priye/(The tarpana phalas at several Kshetras like Kurukshetra and Chudamani would satisfy with one single tarpana at the Sagama) Amaravati Pancha nadyaah Sangame Surapujite, Naari vaa Purushovaapi duhkuryaacchaadra muttamam,Pitaasya tripyanti Shata Kalpam na shamshayah/ Gaam hiranyam suvaasaamsi kshemam repya Maheshwari, Muktaa phalam manimvaapi yaati Shaivam padam pumaan/ (Sura pujite, Shraddhas performed by men and women at the Pancha Nadi Sangama Tirtha shall no doubt give contentment to Pitaras for hundred kalpas) Gaam hiranyam suvaasamsi kshemam repya Maheshwari, Muktaa phalam manim vaapi yaati Shaivam Padam Pumaan/(Ishwari! Danaas of cows, gold, silk clothes, silver, mukta phalam and precious stones would surely result in Shaiva-pada)
