Sacred Places1 for Sraddha - Verse 82-83

One becomes sanctified by visiting Umatunga, Bhrgutunga, Brahmatunga, Mahalaya, Kadravati, Sandal and Vamana’s cave. Sraddha performed there yields ever-lasting benefit. Japa, Homa and meditation—everything performed there becomes meritorious. 84. Those who observe Brahmacarya (celibacy), those who perform sacrifice and those who are devoted to their preceptors for a hundred years (enjoy good benefits). These and other similar benefits are attained immediately by taking a dip in those holy waters.
