अथास्मिन्भारते वर्षे प्राप्नोति मरणं नरः । स्वयंभूस्थानवासेन पुनर्मानुष्यमाप्नुयात् ६ ।
If a man dies anywhere in the Bhāratavarṣa[1] he shall be reborn again as a man if he has resided in a holy centre where there is a self-risen phallic emblem of Śiva.
Somehow men must strive to find a residence in a holy centre. On the shores of the ocean in the confluence of hundreds of rivers there are many such holy centres and temples.
सरस्वती नदी पुण्या प्रोक्ता षष्टिमुखा तथा । तत्तत्तीरे वसेत्प्राज्ञः क्रमाद्ब्रह्मपदं लभेत् ९ ।
The holy river Sarasvatī is said to have sixty mouths or holy centres on its banks. Hence an intelligent man must stay on its banks. He shall attain Brahma’s region gradually.
