कृच्छ्रै कोटिशतैः स्वपापनिधनं यच्चाश्वमेधैः फलं तत्सर्वे मणिकर्णिकास्नपनजे पुण्ये प्रविष्टं भवेत् । स्नात्वा स्तोत्रमिदं नरः पठति चेत्संसारपाथोनिधिं तीर्त्वा पल्वलवत्प्रयाति सदनं तेजोमयं ब्रह्मणः ॥ ९ ॥
The power got by carrying out a hundred crores of painful penances, And effect Carrying out of Aswamedha sacrifice would all be got, By one who takes bath in Manikarnika and reading this prayer, And he would be able to cross the ocean of Samsara as if he is crossing a small body of water. ॥ 9 ॥
