Vaiśampāyana said: But those highly fortunate Pāṇḍavas, great warriors who were eager for Arjuna (Dhanaṃjaya), resided in that forest with Draupadī.
अथापश्यन्महात्मानं देवर्षिं तत्र नारदम् ।

Then, they saw there the great-souled (mahātman) divine sage (devarṣi) Nārada, who was shining with a divine splendor and whose brilliance was equal to that of a blazing fire.
स तैः परिवृतः श्रीमान्भ्रातृभिः कुरुसत्तमः ।
विबभावतिदीप्तौजा देवैरिव शतक्रतुः ॥३॥
विबभावतिदीप्तौजा देवैरिव शतक्रतुः ॥३॥

vibabhāva ati dīpta ojāḥ devaiḥ iva śatakratuḥ
vibabhāva ati dīpta ojāḥ devaiḥ iva śatakratuḥ

He, the best among the Kurus (Yudhiṣṭhira), surrounded by those illustrious brothers, shone with exceedingly great splendor, just like Indra (Śatakratu) surrounded by the gods.
यथा च वेदान्सावित्री याज्ञसेनी तथा सती ।
न जहौ धर्मतः पार्थान्मेरुमर्कप्रभा यथा ॥४॥
न जहौ धर्मतः पार्थान्मेरुमर्कप्रभा यथा ॥४॥

yathā ca vedān sāvitrī yājñasenī tathā satī na
jahau dharmataḥ pārthān merum arka prabhā yathā
jahau dharmataḥ pārthān merum arka prabhā yathā
4.
And just as the Sāvitrī mantra (remains with) the Vedas, so too the virtuous Draupadī (Yājñasenī) did not abandon the Pārthas (sons of Pṛthā) from a sense of duty (dharma), just as the sun's radiance does not abandon Mount Meru.
प्रतिगृह्य तु तां पूजां नारदो भगवानृषिः ।

आश्वासयद्धर्मसुतं युक्तरूपमिवानघ ॥५॥

5.
Having accepted that worship, the divine sage Narada, O sinless one, comforted Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma (dharma), in a manner that seemed entirely fitting.
उवाच च महात्मानं धर्मराजं युधिष्ठिरम् ।
ब्रूहि धर्मभृतां श्रेष्ठ केनार्थः किं ददामि ते ॥६॥
ब्रूहि धर्मभृतां श्रेष्ठ केनार्थः किं ददामि ते ॥६॥
6. uvāca ca mahātmānaṁ dharmarājaṁ yudhiṣṭhiram ,

brūhi dharmabhṛtāṁ śreṣṭha kenārthaḥ kiṁ dadāmi te.

brūhi dharmabhṛtām śreṣṭha kena arthaḥ kim dadāmi te
brūhi dharmabhṛtām śreṣṭha kena arthaḥ kim dadāmi te
6.
And he said to the great-souled Yudhishthira, the king who embodies righteousness (dharma): "O best among those who uphold natural law (dharma), tell me, what is your need? What may I give to you?"
अथ धर्मसुतो राजा प्रणम्य भ्रातृभिः सह ।
उवाच प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यं नारदं देवसंमितम् ॥७॥
उवाच प्राञ्जलिर्वाक्यं नारदं देवसंमितम् ॥७॥

| uvāca prāñjaliḥ vākyam nāradam devasaṃmitam
| uvāca prāñjaliḥ vākyam nāradam devasaṃmitam
7.
Then King Yudhishthira, the son of Dharma (dharma), having bowed down together with his brothers, spoke to Narada, who was revered as a god, with folded hands.
त्वयि तुष्टे महाभाग सर्वलोकाभिपूजिते ।
कृतमित्येव मन्येऽहं प्रसादात्तव सुव्रत ॥८॥
कृतमित्येव मन्येऽहं प्रसादात्तव सुव्रत ॥८॥

8.
When you, O greatly fortunate one, who are worshipped by all worlds, are pleased, I consider everything accomplished by your grace, O righteous one.

9.
O sinless one (anagha), if I, accompanied by my brothers, am worthy of your favor, then O best among sages, you ought to dispel the doubt residing within my heart.

10.
O Brahmin, what is the complete benefit (phalam) for one who, dedicated to visiting holy places (tīrtha), circumambulates the earth? You ought to explain that fully.
नारद उवाच ।

11.
Nārada said: 'O King (rājan), listen attentively, O descendant of Bharata, how all this was indeed heard by Bhīṣma from Pulastya.'
पुरा भागीरथीतीरे भीष्मो धर्मभृतां वरः ।

Formerly, on the bank of the Gaṅgā (Bhāgīrathī), Bhīṣma, the foremost among the upholders of natural law (dharma), resided there like a sage, having undertaken his ancestral vow.
शुभे देशे महाराज पुण्ये देवर्षिसेविते ।

O great king (mahārāja), O mighty one (mahātejas), in an auspicious and sacred land, which is frequented by divine sages (devarṣi), at Gangadvāra, and is also frequented by gods and gandharvas.
स पितॄंस्तर्पयामास देवांश्च परमद्युतिः ।

14.
The supremely radiant one offered oblations to the ancestors (pitṛs) and to the gods. He also pleased the sages with actions (karma) performed according to the prescribed rites.
कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य जपन्नेव महातपाः ।

15.
After some time, as he was continuously engaged in chanting (japa), the great ascetic (tapas) saw Pulastya, the foremost among sages, who had an astonishing appearance.
स तं दृष्ट्वोग्रतपसं दीप्यमानमिव श्रिया ।
प्रहर्षमतुलं लेभे विस्मयं च परं ययौ ॥१६॥

16.
Having seen him, who possessed fierce asceticism (tapas) and shone as if with great splendor, he attained immeasurable joy and reached a state of supreme astonishment.

O great king (Maharaja), O Bharata, Bhishma, the foremost among the upholders of natural law (dharma), worshipped the one who had arrived, performing rites (karma) as prescribed by scriptural injunctions.
शिरसा चार्घ्यमादाय शुचिः प्रयतमानसः ।

18.
With his head, he reverently took the water offering (arghya); pure and with a controlled mind, he chanted the name of that foremost among brahmin sages.
भीष्मोऽहमस्मि भद्रं ते दासोऽस्मि तव सुव्रत ।
तव संदर्शनादेव मुक्तोऽहं सर्वकिल्बिषैः ॥१९॥

19.
'I am Bhishma; may there be welfare for you! O you of excellent vows, I am your servant. By merely seeing you, I have been liberated (mokṣa) from all transgressions.'
एवमुक्त्वा महाराज भीष्मो धर्मभृतां वरः ।

20.
Having spoken thus, O great king (Maharaja), Bhishma, the best among the upholders of natural law (dharma), became silent, remaining with his speech restrained and hands folded, O Yudhishthira.
तं दृष्ट्वा नियमेनाथ स्वाध्यायाम्नायकर्शितम् ।

21.
Seeing Bhishma, the best of the Kuru lineage, emaciated by his disciplined practices and devotion to self-study and sacred tradition, the sage became pleased in mind.

22.
Pulastya said: 'O knower of righteousness (dharma) and greatly fortunate one, I am completely pleased with you because of this humility, self-control, and truthfulness of yours.'
यस्येदृशस्ते धर्मोऽयं पितृभक्त्याश्रितोऽनघ ।

23.
O sinless one (anagha) and son, because your adherence to natural law (dharma) is of this kind, founded upon devotion to your father, you are able to see me. And indeed, my affection is also for you.
अमोघदर्शी भीष्माहं ब्रूहि किं करवाणि ते ।

24.
O Bhishma, I am one whose vision is unfailing. Tell me, what shall I do for you? Whatever you command, O best of the Kurus, O sinless one, I shall grant it to you.

25.
Bhishma said: O greatly fortunate one, worshipped by all worlds, now that you are pleased, I consider my life's purpose accomplished, because I have beheld the Lord (prabhu).

If I am worthy of your grace, O best among those who uphold natural law (dharma), I will express the doubt residing in my heart, and you should clarify it for me.

27.
O Lord (bhagavan), I have a certain doubt concerning sacred places (tīrtha) and natural law (dharma). I desire to hear it distinctly explained by you.

O hero of boundless might, O Brahmin sage (viprarṣi), O one whose wealth is austerity (tapas), what is the result (phala) for him who circumambulates the earth? Please tell me that.

Pulastya said: "Indeed, I will now explain to you that which is the supreme goal (parāyaṇam) of the sages. Therefore, dear child, listen with a concentrated mind to the results (phalam) obtained from visiting sacred pilgrimage sites (tīrtha-s)."

One who has abstained from accepting gifts, is contented, self-controlled, pure, and free from ego (ahaṅkāra)—he obtains the benefit (phalam) of sacred pilgrimage sites (tīrtha-s).

O King, one who is free from anger, possesses truthful conduct, is firm in their vows, and treats all beings as they treat themselves (ātman), such a person attains the fruit of visiting a holy place (tīrtha).
ऋषिभिः क्रतवः प्रोक्ता वेदेष्विह यथाक्रमम् ।

34.
The sages (ṛṣi) have declared the sacrificial rites (kratu) in the Vedas, here, in due order. And indeed, their results, precisely as they are, are obtained both in this world and in the afterlife, in every respect.

35.
O King, those Vedic rituals (yajña) are not possible for a poor person to perform. Sacrifices (yajña) require many implements and vast arrangements of various materials.

36.
These [sacrifices] are sometimes performed by kings or by wealthy individuals. They are not performed by those whose means are insufficient, nor by those who are solitary, nor by those who lack support.
यो दरिद्रैरपि विधिः शक्यः प्राप्तुं नरेश्वर ।

37.
O lord of men, O best of warriors, understand that spiritual practice (vidhi) which can be attained even by the poor, and which is equal to the meritorious results of sacrificial performances (yajña).
ऋषीणां परमं गुह्यमिदं भरतसत्तम ।
तीर्थाभिगमनं पुण्यं यज्ञैरपि विशिष्यते ॥३८॥
तीर्थाभिगमनं पुण्यं यज्ञैरपि विशिष्यते ॥३८॥

tīrtha-abhigamanam puṇyam yajñaiḥ api viśiṣyate
38.
O best of the Bharatas, this is the supreme secret of the sages (ṛṣi): visiting holy places (tīrtha-abhigamanam) is meritorious and excels even sacrificial performances (yajña).
अनुपोष्य त्रिरात्राणि तीर्थान्यनभिगम्य च ।

39.
Indeed, one is born poor who has not fasted for three nights, has not visited holy places, and has not given gold and cows.

phalam na avāpnoti yat tīrthābhigamanena (avāpnoti)
phalam na avāpnoti yat tīrthābhigamanena (avāpnoti)
40.
One does not attain that same spiritual merit (phalam) by performing Agniṣṭoma and other such (Vedic rituals) accompanied by abundant offerings, as one obtains by visiting sacred places (tīrtha).

41.
The blessed one should visit the sacred place (tīrtha) named Puṣkara, which is renowned in the human world and famous throughout the three worlds as the sacred place of the god of gods.

42.
O lord of the earth (mahīpate), O delight of the Kurus (kurunandana), indeed, ten thousand crores of sacred places (tīrtha) have their presence in Puṣkara thrice daily.

43.
O mighty one (vibho), the Adityas, Vasus, Rudras, Sadhyas, along with the groups of Maruts, and indeed the Gandharvas and Apsaras, are constantly present there.

44.
O great king (mahārāja), it is where the gods, Daityas, and Brahmin sages (Brahmarṣis), having performed austerities (tapas), became divine yogis and were endowed with great merit.

45.
Even for a wise person (manasvin) who mentally desires (to visit) Pushkara, all sins are purified, and he is revered in the highest heaven.

O greatly fortunate one (mahābhāga), in that holy place (tīrtha), Grandfather Brahma, who was exceedingly pleased and revered by gods and demons, constantly resided.

47.
O greatly fortunate one (mahābhāga), in Pushkara, the gods, with the sages at their forefront, attained spiritual perfection (siddhi), accompanied by great merit.

48.
The wise (manīṣiṇaḥ) declare that whoever performs a ritual ablution (abhiṣeka) there, being devoted to the worship of ancestors and gods, achieves a spiritual merit tenfold that of the Aśvamedha (Vedic ritual).

49.
O Bhīṣma, even a person dwelling in the Puṣkara forest who feeds a single brahmin (vipra) will rejoice both in this world and after death due to that action (karma).

50.
A person who sustains themselves even with vegetables, roots, and fruits, should offer that very food to a Brahmin with faith (śraddhā) and without envy. By this act, a wise individual will certainly attain the reward of the Hayamedha (Vedic ritual).
ब्राह्मणः क्षत्रियो वैश्यः शूद्रो वा राजसत्तम ।

51.
O best of kings, these—whether a brahmin (vipra), a kṣatriya, a vaiśya, or a śūdra—who have bathed in the sacred bathing place (tīrtha) of the venerable Puṣkara, do not go to another womb (vīyoni).

52.
But especially in the month of Kārttika, whoever should visit Puṣkara, his imperishable (akṣaya) reward (phala) increases there, O best of Bhāratas.

53.
O Bhārata, the person who reverently remembers Pushkara morning and evening, with folded hands, is as if they have bathed in all holy places (tīrtha). That man also attains imperishable worlds in Brahmā's abode.
जन्मप्रभृति यत्पापं स्त्रियो वा पुरुषस्य वा ।

54.
Whatever sin (pāpa) a woman or a man has committed since birth, all of it is completely destroyed merely by bathing in Pushkara.
यथा सुराणां सर्वेषामादिस्तु मधुसूदनः ।

55.
Just as Madhusūdana (Viṣṇu) is the origin of all gods, similarly, O king, Pushkara is said to be the foremost (ādi) of all holy places (tīrtha).

56.
A person who, pure and disciplined, resides in Pushkara for twelve years, attains the merit of all sacrifices (kratu) and goes to the world of Brahmā.

57.
Whoever fully performs the `agnihotra` ritual for a hundred years, or resides for a single Kārttikī month in Puṣkara, that (latter act) is considered equivalent.

58.
It is difficult to go to Puṣkara. Performing austerity (tapas) in Puṣkara is difficult. Giving charity (dāna) in Puṣkara is difficult. And to reside (there) is indeed very difficult.

Having indeed stayed for twelve nights, disciplined and having regulated one's eating, and having circumambulated (the sacred site) clockwise, one should then enter the Jambu path.
जम्बूमार्गं समाविश्य देवर्षिपितृसेवितम् ।

60.
Having entered the Jambu path, which is frequented and served by divine sages (devarṣi) and ancestors (pitṛ), one obtains the merit of an `aśvamedha` sacrifice and attains the world of Viṣṇu.

61.
A person who stays there for five nights, subsisting on food only at the sixth meal (ṣaṣṭhakālakṣamī), does not experience a bad fate but instead achieves supreme accomplishment (siddhi).

62.
Having returned from Jambūmārga, one should proceed to Taṇḍulikā's hermitage. Such a person does not encounter misfortune and is worshipped in the heavenly realm (svargaloka).

O King, one who, having reached Agastya's lake, is devoted to the worship of ancestors and deities, and has fasted for three nights, will obtain the merit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice.

64.
One who subsists on vegetables or even fruits, having reached Kanva's hermitage — which is endowed with prosperity and revered by all people — attains the status of Kumāra (kaumāram padam).

65.
That, O best of Bharatas, is indeed a sacred and primeval forest where natural law (dharma) is upheld, and merely upon entering, one is certainly freed from sins.

A person who, having worshipped the ancestors and gods, remains disciplined and moderate in eating, attains the full reward of a Vedic ritual (yajña) that fulfills all desires.
प्रदक्षिणं ततः कृत्वा ययातिपतनं व्रजेत् ।
हयमेधस्य यज्ञस्य फलं प्राप्नोति तत्र वै ॥६७॥

67.
Thereafter, having performed a clockwise circumambulation (pradakṣiṇa), one should go to Yayātipatana. There, one truly obtains the reward of the Hayamedha (Vedic ritual).

68.
Then, being self-controlled and maintaining a regulated diet, one should go to Mahākāla. After bathing in Koṭitīrtha, one would obtain the fruit of a horse sacrifice (hayamedha yajña).
ततो गच्छेत धर्मज्ञ पुण्यस्थानमुमापतेः ।

69.
Then, O knower of (dharma), one should go to the holy place of Umā's husband, named Bhadravaṭa, which is famous in the three worlds.

70.
Having approached Īśāna there, one obtains the merit equal to a thousand cows. And by the grace of Mahādeva, one attains the state of a Gaṇa (Gaṇapatya).

71.
And then, having reached the Narmada river, which is renowned throughout the three worlds, and having offered libations to the ancestors and gods, one would attain the reward of the Agniṣṭoma (Vedic ritual).

72.
Having reached the southern Sindhu, a student of the Vedas (brahmacārī) who has controlled his senses (jitendriyaḥ) obtains the Agniṣṭoma (yajña) and ascends to a celestial vehicle (vimāna).

73.
One who, disciplined and with a regulated diet, reaches the Carmaṇvatī river and is authorized by Rantideva, will attain the reward of the Agniṣṭoma Vedic ritual (yajña).

74.
O Yudhiṣṭhira, O knower of what is right (dharma), one should then go to Arbuda, the son of Himavat, where there was formerly a fissure in the earth.

O tiger among men (naravyāghra), a celibate student (brahmacārī) who has controlled his senses, after bathing in Piṅgātīrtha, obtains the merit (phala) of (giving) a hundred tawny cows.

77.
Then, O knower of natural law (dharma), one should go to Prabhāsa, which is renowned in the world. There, O hero, Fire (Agni) himself is always present; he is the mouth of the gods, whose charioteer is the Wind.

Then, having gone to the confluence of the Sarasvatī river and the ocean, and having obtained the fruit of (donating) a thousand cows, O best of Bhāratas, he is glorified in the heaven world, always shining with splendor like fire.

Having resided there for three nights, one should satisfy the ancestors and deities. He shines like the moon and obtains the fruit of an horse sacrifice (aśvamedha).

Then, O best among the Bharatas, one should go to the holy place named Varadāna, where, O Yudhiṣṭhira, a boon was given to Viṣṇu by Durvāsas.
वरदाने नरः स्नात्वा गोसहस्रफलं लभेत् ।

82.
A person who bathes in Varadāna obtains the merit (phala) of giving a thousand cows. Then, self-controlled and with a regulated diet, one should go to Dvāravatī. A person bathing in Piṇḍāraka obtains much gold.

O greatly fortunate one, in that holy place, marks imprinted with lotus symbols are still seen even today. That is truly astonishing, O subduer of enemies.

O best of Bharatas, O foremost of the Kurus, one should go, having performed a respectful circumambulation, to the sacred place (tīrtha) renowned in the three worlds, famous by the name Dṛmīti, which liberates from all sins.
यत्र ब्रह्मादयो देवा उपासन्ते महेश्वरम् ।

89.
Where Brahmā and other deities worship Maheśvara, a man, after bathing and worshipping Rudra, who is surrounded by throngs of gods, removes the sins committed from the time of his birth.

O best among men (naraśreṣṭha), there is also Dṛmī here, revered by all deities. O tiger among men (naravyāghra), by bathing there, one would attain the merit of a horse sacrifice (hayamedha).

91.
O great sage (mahāprājña), it is here where purification was formerly performed by the mighty Viṣṇu, after he had slain the enemies of the gods.

92.
Then, O knower of natural law (dharma), one should go to Vasordhārā, which is highly praised. Indeed, merely by going there, one would attain the merit of a horse sacrifice (hayamedha).

O best among the Kurus, a human being (mānava) who, with a purified self (ātman), bathes and offers oblations to the gods and ancestors, is glorified in Viṣṇu's realm (viṣṇuloka).

O chief of the Bharatas, this place is indeed a supreme and sacred holy site (tīrtha) belonging to the Vasus. By bathing and drinking there, one becomes esteemed by the Vasus.

There is a sacred ford (tīrtha) belonging to the Kanyas and to Indra, which is frequented by perfected beings (siddhas). A man who bathes there quickly attains the world of Indra.

98.
And there, at that very spot, is also a sacred ford (tīrtha) of Reṇukā, frequented by gods. A Brahmin who bathes there becomes as pure as the moon.

99.
Then, having gone to Pañcanada, a self-controlled person with a regulated diet (niyatāśana) attains the five sacrifices (yajñas) that have been successively proclaimed.

Then, O knower of natural law (dharma), one should go to the excellent place of Bhīmā. Having bathed there, indeed, in the yoni, a man, O best among Bharatas, [attains... (the verse is incomplete)].

O King, one would have a son of the goddess, whose form is adorned with fiery earrings. And one would attain the great merit (phalam) of donating a hundred thousand cows.

103.
Then, O knower of natural law (dharma), one should go to that pure, excellent sacred bathing place (tīrtham) where, even today, golden and silver fish are seen.
तत्र स्नात्वा नरश्रेष्ठ वाजपेयमवाप्नुयात् ।

104.
Having bathed there, O best among men, one would attain the merit of a Vājapeya sacrifice. With a self (ātman) purified from all sins, one would also reach the supreme destination.

105.
Then, one should proceed to Malada, a place well-known throughout the three worlds. There, one should perform ablutions according to the prescribed rituals, specifically during the western twilight.

106.
O King, one should offer an oblation (caru) to Agni (saptārcis) according to one's capacity. The wise ones declare this to be an imperishable gift (dāna) for the ancestors.

Then, having returned, O King, one should enter Vastrapada. By approaching Mahadeva, one would obtain the benefit (phala) of an Aśvamedha (yajña).

110.
Now, O King of kings (Rājendra), O best of Bharatas (Bharatarṣabha), one should go to Devikā, which is renowned throughout the world, and where the origin of brahmins is traditionally spoken of.

113.
There, O Bhārata, is the sacred bathing place (tīrtha) named Kāmā, belonging to Rudra and frequented by divine sages (devarṣis). A person who bathes there quickly achieves spiritual accomplishment (siddhi).
यजनं याजनं गत्वा तथैव ब्रह्मवालुकाम् ।

114.
Having gone to (the places for) performing sacrifices (yajanam) and officiating sacrifices (yājanam), and similarly to Brahmavālukā, and having purified oneself by bathing at Puṣpanyāsa, one should not thereafter mourn death.

115.
They declare Devikā to be of such a measure: half a yojana in width and five yojanas in length, sacred, and frequented by divine sages (devarṣis).
ततो गच्छेत धर्मज्ञ दीर्घसत्रं यथाक्रमम् ।

116.
Thereafter, O knower of natural law (dharma), one should proceed in due order to the 'long session' (dīrghasatra), where Brahmā and other gods, along with the Siddhas and great sages, who are disciplined in their vows, regularly perform this protracted Vedic ritual (dīrghasatra) with proper ritual fees.

117.
O King of kings, O vanquisher of foes, merely by going, a human being obtains the fruit of a long sacrifice (dīrghasattra), a Rājasūya, and an Aśvamedha.
ततो विनशनं गच्छेन्नियतो नियताशनः ।

118.
Thereafter, being self-controlled and having regulated eating, one should go to Vinaśana, where the Sarasvati (river) disappears in the desert region. It is seen again at Camasa, Śivodbheda, and Nāgodbheda.
स्नात्वा च चमसोद्भेदे अग्निष्टोमफलं लभेत् ।

snātvā ca camasodbhede agniṣṭomaphalam labhet
śivodbhede naraḥ snātvā gosahasraphalam labhet
śivodbhede naraḥ snātvā gosahasraphalam labhet
119.
And by bathing at Camasodbheda, one would obtain the fruit of an Agniṣṭoma sacrifice. A man, by bathing at Śivodbheda, would obtain the fruit of (giving) a thousand cows.
नागोद्भेदे नरः स्नात्वा नागलोकमवाप्नुयात् ।

śaśarūpapraticchannāḥ puṣkarā yatra bhārata
120.
By bathing at Nāgodbheda, a man would attain the world of the Nāgas. And O King of kings, O Bhārata, having reached the difficult-to-attain sacred bathing place (tīrtha) named Śaśayāna, where the lotuses (puṣkara) are hidden, disguised in the form of rabbits.

121.
O great king, O best among the Bharatas, indeed, people always bathe in the Sarasvatī river every year once the month of Kārttika (kārttikī) has passed.
तत्र स्नात्वा नरव्याघ्र द्योतते शशिवत्सदा ।

122.
O tiger among men, having bathed there, one always shines like the moon. And, O bull among the Bharatas, one would indeed attain the merit of donating a thousand cows.

123.
O delight of the Kurus, a self-controlled person, devoted to the worship of ancestors and gods, having reached Kumārakoṭi, should perform an ablution there. He obtains a multi-cow sacrifice (gavāmaya) and indeed uplifts his lineage (kula).
ततो गच्छेत धर्मज्ञ रुद्रकोटिं समाहितः ।

124.
Then, O knower of righteousness (dharma), one should go, self-composed, to Rudrakoṭi, where, O great king, formerly a multitude of sages (ṛṣi) had assembled, settled there with great joy and with the desire to see the gods.
अहं पूर्वमहं पूर्वं द्रक्ष्यामि वृषभध्वजम् ।

125.
"I will be the first! I will be the first to see the one with the bull on his banner (Śiva)!" Thus, O King (rājan), the sages (ṛṣi) indeed set out, O Bhārata.
ततो योगेश्वरेणापि योगमास्थाय भूपते ।

126.
Then, O King (bhūpate), the Lord of (yoga) (yogeśvara) also, having resorted to (yoga), for the purpose of destroying the anger of those sages (ṛṣi) whose individual natures (ātman) were purified...
सृष्टा कोटिस्तु रुद्राणामृषीणामग्रतः स्थिता ।

127.
Indeed, a crore of Rudras was created and stood before the sages (ṛṣi). Each of them individually thought, "It was seen by me earlier."

128.
O King (rājan), Mahādeva, pleased with those sages (ṛṣi) of fierce splendor, granted them a boon due to their supreme devotion (bhakti). He declared, "From today onwards, there will be an increase in your adherence to (dharma)."

O tiger among men, a pure person who bathes there, at Rudrakoṭi, attains the fruit of an horse-Vedic ritual (aśvamedha) and furthermore redeems his lineage.

O king of kings, one should then go to the confluence that is renowned throughout the world. At Sarasvati, people worship Janārdana (Viṣṇu) and obtain great merit.

O king of kings, it is there that gods, headed by Brahmā, along with sages, Siddhas, and Chāraṇas, assemble to observe the fourteenth day of the bright half of the month of Chaitra.

O tiger among men, one who bathes there obtains much gold. Furthermore, with a soul purified from all sins, one goes to the world of Brahmā (brahmaloka).
