“If one goes to Prayadga and bathes at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna
in the month of Magha, he attains the result of giving hundreds and thousands of
cows in charity. Simply by bathing for three days there, he attains the results of
such a pious activity.” Because of this, the Sanodiya brahmana was very eager to
go to Prayaga and bathe. Generally karmis (fruitive laborers) take advantage of
bathing there during the month of Magha, thinking that they will be rewarded in
the future. Those who are situated in devotional service do not very strictly follow
this karma-kandiya process.
