English translation

Indratirtha, Brahmatirtha, Suryakunda, Nilalohita-Tirtha and Saptasamudraka-Tirtha Mahatmya

Shrinaradji says - Vidhehraj! The second fort also has the most virtuous' Indratirtha 'at the eastern gate, which is the giver and purifier of desired pleasures. The king! After bathing in that tirtha, a person goes to Indraloka and attains the same radiant splendor as the moon in this world. 1-2.

Similarly, the Dakshin Dwar is said to have a shrine called 'Suryakund', where Satrajit worshipped Syamantaka. Oh dear God! A person who bathes there and donates a lotus bead goes to the solar world through a radiant vimana similar to the sun. 3-4 | (Dwarkand Chapter 16 to 22)

Similarly, at the western gate, there is a specific tirtha called 'Brahmateertha'. The king. Listen to the wise man who bathes there and donates kheer to the pot of gold, describing its merits. Whether he is a Brahmaghati, a Pitrughati, a cowherd, a matriarch, and a sinner who slays a teacher, he sets foot in Indraloka, wears a Brahma-like body, and travels to Brahmadham through a bright vimana like the moon. 5 - 7.

Similarly, at the northern gate is the area of Lord Nilalohit, where Neelalohit Mahadev resides directly. Woe to you! All the deities, sages, Saptarishis, and all the Marudranas reside in that tirtha. Lokravana Ravana attained unparalleled opulence by diligently worshipping the Shivalinga named 'Nilalohita' in the same tirth. O Lord! The sight of Lord Nil-Lohit is a hundred times more virtuous than the palanquin a person finds on a journey to Kailash. A person who bathes in 'Nil-Lohitkund' for three days goes to Shivaloka even after having a thousand sins. 8-12 |

Where the 'Saptasamudraka' or 'Saptasagara' Tirtha is adorned, by bathing in that Tirtha, the sinful man is rid of the groups of sins and he immediately acquires the virtue of bathing in the seven seas. Manujeshwar! Lord Vishnu, Brahma, Shiva, Indra, Vayu, Yama, Surya, Parjanya, Kubera, Soma, Prithvi, Agni, and Varuna - the lord of water - always reside around that tirth. O Lord! All the seven crore Tirthas that are in the universe reside in that 'Saptasamudraka Tirtha'. After bathing in it, the person who circumambulates the entire tirtha receives all the fruits of the journey to Dwarka. A visit to Dwarka is not fruitful without a visit to the 'Saptasamudraka Tirtha'. The deities consider the 'Saptasamudraka Tirtha' to be a manifestation of Lord Vishnu. 13-18 |

Thus was completed the twentieth chapter in the Narada Bahulashva-Samvad under Dwarka Khanda in the Srigargha Samhita titled 'Description of the Significance of Indratirtha, Brahmatirtha, Suryakunda, Nilalohitirtha and Saptasamudra Tirtha within the Second Fort'. 20.
