Sanskrit Text

मतङ्गवाप्यां यः स्नायादेकरात्रेण सिध्यति विगाहति ह्यनालम्बमन्धकं वै सनातनम्

English Translation

He who bathes in the lake Matanga is sure to acquire success in one night. He who bathes in Analamva or the eternal, Andhaka, or in Naimisha, or the tirtha called Svarga, and offers oblations of water to the departed manes, controlling his senses all the while, acquires the merit of a human sacrifice.
