SiP 5 42.5

तपः कर्तुं समारेभे यत्र ते सहचारिणः।। स वै तत्र निराहारो वायुभक्षो महातपाः कांपिल्ये नगरे ते तु ब्रह्मदत्तपुरोगमाः ।। जातास्सप्तमहात्मानस्सर्वे विगतकल्मषाः । छिद्रदर्शी सुनेत्रस्तु वेदवेदांगपारगौ ।। जातौ श्रोत्रियदायादौ पूर्वजातिसहाषितौ मुच्यते सर्वपापेभ्यश्शिवनामानुकीर्तनात् ।। उच्चार्यमाण एतस्मिन्देवदेवस्य तस्य वै

tapaḥ kartuṃ samārebhe yatra te sahacāriṇaḥ|| sa vai tatra nirāhāro vāyubhakṣo mahātapāḥ kāṃpilye nagare te tu brahmadattapurogamāḥ || jātāssaptamahātmānassarve vigatakalmaṣāḥ | chidradarśī sunetrastu vedavedāṃgapāragau || jātau śrotriyadāyādau pūrvajātisahāṣitau mucyate sarvapāpebhyaśśivanāmānukīrtanāt || uccāryamāṇa etasmindevadevasya tasya vai

He began to perform austerity where those companions (were); there indeed, foodless, air-eating, of great austerity. But in the city of Kāṃpilya those seven great souls, with Brahmadatta at their head, were born, all free of stain. Chidradarśin and Sunetra, the two who had gone to the far shore of the Vedas and the Vedāṅgas, were born as the heirs of a śrotriya, and spoke together about their former birth. One is freed from all sins by the repeated recitation of Śiva's name, when that (name) of the God of gods is uttered.
