This boon had been granted by Sani: When the New-Moon day coincides with Saturday, one should perform Sraddha there along with a holy dip, charitable gifts etc. If on a Saturday in the month of Sravaria the Kuhu (i.e. New Moon without the slightest visibility of the Moon) also falls and the Sun has his monthly transit, and if the Yoga called Vyatipata also happens to be there in the same Tithi (‘Lunar day’) that holy combination is called Puskara. It is superior to a hundred Parvans.
It is with great difficulty that the combination of all good Yogas is obtained. On that day, one should duly worship an iron image of &mi and a gold idol of the Sun at the meeting place of Mahi and the ocean. !§ani should be meditated on with Mantras pertaining to Sani and the Sun with the Surya Mantras. Arghya should be offered to the Sun for the destruction of all sins.
- The holy dip here is superior to that at Prayaga;
- charitable gift here is more beneficial than that at Kuruksetra.
- Offering rice balls (to manes), O son of Pandu, is superior to that offered at the holy place called Gaya.

{Mantra for taking bath)
“Agni is the Betas (‘semen virile’) in the body along with Mrda (‘graciousness’). Visnu is the discharger of the Retas. He is the navel of Amrta (-nectar’).”
Repeating these truthful words (mentioned above in the Mantra) with great faith, one should take the plunge in the meeting place of Mahi and the ocean.
