Deb Mukharji

"Whoever touches his body with the earth of Manasarovar and bathes in its waters will attain to the paradise of Brahma, and whoever drinks its waters will attain to the heaven of Shiva and will be washed clean of the sins of a hundred incarnations, and even the animals which bear the name of Manasarovar will enter into Brahma's paradise. The water of the lake is like pearls. There are no mountains that can compare with the Himalaya, for in them are Kailash and Manasarovar. As the dew is dried up by the morning sun, so are the sins of men blotted out at the sight of the Himalaya".
