वसिष्ठ उवाच। कथितं माघमाहात्म्यं दत्तात्रेयेण भाषितम् । अधुनाऽहं प्रवक्ष्यामि माघस्नानस्य यत्फलम् अत्र ते कथयिष्यामि सावधानमतिः शृणु । पिशाचमोचनं नाम इतिहासं पुरातनम् । शृण्वंत्यप्सरसो बालाः शृणोतु त्वत्सुतस्तथा । मत्प्रसादात्स्मृतिर्लब्ध्वा पैशाच्यान्मुक्तिकामिनः

Vasiṣṭha said: The greatness of Māgha has been told, as it was spoken by Dattātreya. Now I shall declare what fruit belongs to bathing in Māgha; here I shall tell it to you — listen with attentive mind. (It is) the ancient tale called "The Release of the Piśācas." The young Apsarases are listening; let your son too listen — those who, having obtained memory by my grace, desire release from the piśāca-state.

Bathing in holy places in the month of Māgha is very hard for men to obtain on earth; therefore, since by it men attain the station of the knowers of brahman, there is no doubt of it in my mind.
