The Glory of Kratvishvara

ईश्वर उवाच। पुलहेश्वरात्ततो देवि नैर्ऋते धनुषाष्टके। क्रत्वीश्वरेतिनामानं महाक्रतुफलप्रदम्

īśvara uvāca| pulaheśvarāttato devi nairṛte dhanuṣāṣṭake| kratvīśvaretināmānaṁ mahākratuphalapradam

Ishvara said: O Goddess, then, eight bow-lengths to the southwest of Pulaheshvara, is the linga named Kratvishvara, which bestows the fruit of great sacrifices.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.212.2)

तं दृष्ट्वा मानवो देवि पौंडरीकफलं लभेत्। सप्तजन्मनि दारिद्र्यं न दुःखं तत्र जायते

taṁ dṛṣṭvā mānavo devi pauṁḍarīkaphalaṁ labhet| saptajanmani dāridryaṁ na duḥkhaṁ tatra jāyate

O Goddess, by beholding him, a man obtains the fruit of the Paundarika sacrifice; for seven lifetimes neither poverty nor sorrow befalls him there.
