32. O King, having also duly (vidhivat) given heaps of jewels to the brahmins (vipra) there, he proceeded towards the eastern direction, shining with his own splendor.

33. The wielder of the plough (Lāṅgalī), delighted, having bathed many times in those sacred bathing places (tīrtha) and having given wealth to the twice-born (dvijāti), then proceeded to (the abode of) a great ascetic (tapasvin).

34. Halāyudha, having greeted those groups of sages (ṛṣisaṃgha) who resided there, then Rama went to the great sacred bathing place (tīrtha) that was revered by sages (ṛṣi).
यत्र भूयो निववृते प्राङ्मुखा वै सरस्वती ।

35. At that spot, the Sarasvati river, facing east, indeed turned back again, in order to attend to the great-souled sages of Naimiṣa.

36. rājan,

36. Having seen that preeminent river (Sarasvati) turned back there, Balarama, O King, who was anointed with white substances, became astonished.

37. Janamejaya said: 'O Brahmin, why did the Sarasvati river turn back from that point, facing east? O best among the adhvaryu priests, I wish for you to explain all this to me.'
कस्मिंश्च कारणे तत्र विस्मितो यदुनन्दनः ।

38. dvijottama,
kasmin ca kāraṇe tatra yadunandanaḥ vismitaḥ (abhūva)? saricchreṣṭhā katham vinivṛttā (abhūt)? etat (kathaya)
38. And for what reason was the descendant of Yadu (Balarama) astonished there? How did this preeminent river (Sarasvati) turn back, O best of the twice-born (dvijottama)?
वैशंपायन उवाच ।
पूर्वं कृतयुगे राजन्नैमिषेयास्तपस्विनः ।

39. Vaiśampāyana said: "O King (Janamejaya), previously, in the Kṛta age, while a very extensive twelve-year (Vedic ritual) (sattra) was ongoing by the ascetics of Naimiṣa forest, many sages, O King (Janamejaya), gathered there."
उषित्वा च महाभागास्तस्मिन्सत्रे यथाविधि ।

uṣitvā naimiṣeye dvādaśavārṣike

ṛṣayaḥ tīrthakāraṇāt tatra ājagmuḥ
40. And after those highly esteemed ones had resided in that (Vedic ritual) (sattra) according to the prescribed rites, when the twelve-year (Vedic ritual) (sattra) in Naimiṣa had concluded, many sages came there for the purpose of visiting holy sites.
ऋषीणां बहुलत्वात्तु सरस्वत्या विशां पते ।

41. ṛṣīṇāṁ bahulatvāttu sarasvatyā viśāṁ pate ,

41. ṛṣīṇām bahulatvāt tu sarasvatyā viśām pate

41. viśām pate,
tu ṛṣīṇām bahulatvāt sarasvatyā dakṣiṇe kūle tīrthāni tadā vai nagarāyante
41. But O lord of the people (viśāṃ pate), due to the great multitude of sages (ṛṣi) along the Sarasvatī river, the holy places (tīrtha) on its southern bank then truly appeared like cities.
समन्तपञ्चकं यावत्तावत्ते द्विजसत्तमाः ।

42. samantapañcakaṁ yāvattāvatte dvijasattamāḥ ,

42. naravyāghra,
yāvat samantapañcakam tāvat te dvijasattamāḥ tīrthalobhāt nadyāḥ tīram samāśritāḥ
42. O tiger among men (naravyāghra), those foremost among the twice-born (dvija), driven by their desire for holy places (tīrtha), took residence along the river's bank, extending as far as Samantapañcaka.
जुह्वतां तत्र तेषां तु मुनीनां भावितात्मनाम् ।

43. juhvatāṁ tatra teṣāṁ tu munīnāṁ bhāvitātmanām ,

43. juhvatām tatra teṣām tu munīnām bhāvitātmanām

43. tatra bhāvitātmanām teṣām munīnām juhvatām
mahatā svādhyāyena api diśaḥ pūritāḥ babhūvuḥ
43. There, the directions became filled, indeed, by the great self-recitation (svādhyāya) of those sages (muni) who were offering oblations and whose inner selves (ātman) were pure.
अग्निहोत्रैस्ततस्तेषां हूयमानैर्महात्मनाम् ।

44. agnihotraistatasteṣāṁ hūyamānairmahātmanām ,

44. agnihotraiḥ tataḥ teṣām hūyamānaiḥ mahātmanām

44. tataḥ teṣām mahātmanām hūyamānaiḥ agnihotraiḥ
saricchreṣṭhā dīpyamānaiḥ samantataḥ aśobhata
44. Then, with the (Vedic fire rituals) (agnihotra) being offered by those great souls, the best of rivers shone, illuminated from all directions by the glowing flames.
वालखिल्या महाराज अश्मकुट्टाश्च तापसाः ।

45. mahārāja vālakhilyāḥ tāpasāḥ ca aśmakuṭṭāḥ ca
anye danta ulūkhalinaḥ tathā apare saṃprakṣālāḥ
45. O great king, there were ascetics (tapasvin) known as Vālakhilyas, others who pounded their food with stones (aśmakuṭṭa), and still others who ground food with their teeth (dantolūkhala), and similarly, there were those who practiced ritual cleansing (saṃprakṣāla).

46. vāyubhakṣā jalāhārāḥ parṇabhakṣāśca tāpasāḥ ,

46. vāyubhakṣāḥ jalāhārāḥ parṇabhakṣāḥ ca tāpasāḥ

46. tāpasāḥ ca vāyubhakṣāḥ jalāhārāḥ parṇabhakṣāḥ
ca tathā nānāniyamayuktāḥ sthaṇḍilaśāyinaḥ
46. And there were ascetics (tapasvin) who subsisted on air (vāyubhakṣa), on water (jalāhāra), or on leaves (parṇabhakṣa); and others who were committed to various vows (nānāniyamayukta), and similarly, those who slept on the bare ground (sthaṇḍilaśāyin).

47. āsanvai munayastatra sarasvatyāḥ samīpataḥ ,

47. āsan vai munayaḥ tatra sarasvatyāḥ samīpataḥ

47. vai munayaḥ tatra sarasvatyāḥ samīpataḥ āsan
sarit-śreṣṭhām śobhayantaḥ divaukasaḥ gaṅgām iva
47. Indeed, sages were present there near the Sarasvati, adorning the best of rivers, just as the gods (divaukasaḥ) adorn the Gaṅgā.
ततः पश्चात्समापेतुरृषयः सत्रयाजिनः ।

48. tataḥ paścātsamāpeturṛṣayaḥ satrayājinaḥ ,

48. tataḥ paścāt sam-āpetuḥ ṛṣayaḥ satra-yājinaḥ

48. tataḥ paścāt satra-yājinaḥ ṛṣayaḥ sam-āpetuḥ
te mahā-vratāḥ kurukṣetre avakāśam na dadṛśuḥ
48. Then, afterwards, the sages (ṛṣi), who were performing sacrificial sessions (sattra-yājin), gathered. Those who observed great vows (mahāvratāḥ) found no space in Kurukṣetra.
ततो यज्ञोपवीतैस्ते तत्तीर्थं निर्मिमाय वै ।

49. tato yajñopavītaiste tattīrthaṁ nirmimāya vai ,

49. tataḥ yajñopavītaiḥ te tat tīrtham nirmimāya vai

49. tataḥ te yajñopavītaiḥ tat tīrtham vai nirmimāya
ca agnihotrāṇi juhuvuḥ ca vividhāḥ kriyāḥ cakruḥ
49. Then, indeed, they created that sacred ford (tīrtha) by means of their sacred threads (yajñopavīta). And they offered Agnihotra sacrifices and performed various rituals.
ततस्तमृषिसंघातं निराशं चिन्तयान्वितम् ।

50. tatastamṛṣisaṁghātaṁ nirāśaṁ cintayānvitam ,

50. tataḥ tam ṛṣi-saṃghātam nirāśam cintayā-anvitam

50. tataḥ rājendra sarasvatī teṣām arthe tam nirāśam
cintayā-anvitam ṛṣi-saṃghātam darśayāmāsa
50. Then, O King (rājendra), Sarasvati (the river/goddess) revealed [a solution or a path] to that multitude of sages (ṛṣisaṃghāta), who were despondent (nirāśa) and filled with anxiety (cintayānvita), for their sake.
ततः कुञ्जान्बहून्कृत्वा संनिवृत्ता सरिद्वरा ।

51. tataḥ kuñjānbahūnkṛtvā saṁnivṛttā saridvarā ,

51. janamejaya tataḥ saridvarā bahūn kuñjān
kṛtvā puṇyatapasām ṛṣīṇām kāruṇyāt saṃnivṛttā
51. Then, O Janamejaya, the best of rivers, having created many groves, turned back out of compassion for the sages whose austerities (tapas) were meritorious.
ततो निवृत्य राजेन्द्र तेषामर्थे सरस्वती ।
भूयः प्रतीच्यभिमुखी सुस्राव सरितां वरा ॥५२॥
52. tato nivṛtya rājendra teṣāmarthe sarasvatī ,

52. tataḥ nivṛtya rājendra teṣām arthe sarasvatī
bhūyaḥ pratīcyabhimukhī susrāva saritām varā
52. rājendra tataḥ sarasvatī saritām varā teṣām
arthe nivṛtya bhūyaḥ pratīcyabhimukhī susrāva
52. Then, O best of kings, the Sarasvati, the best of rivers, having turned back for their sake, flowed again, facing westward.
अमोघा गमनं कृत्वा तेषां भूयो व्रजाम्यहम् ।
इत्यद्भुतं महच्चक्रे ततो राजन्महानदी ॥५३॥
53. amoghā gamanaṁ kṛtvā teṣāṁ bhūyo vrajāmyaham ,

53. amoghā gamanam kṛtvā teṣām bhūyaḥ vrajāmi aham

53. rājan tataḥ mahānadī "amoghā gamanam kṛtvā teṣām
bhūyaḥ vrajāmi aham" iti mahat adbhutam cakre
53. Thinking, 'I shall go to them again, making my journey fruitful,' the great river then performed a great wonder, O king.
एवं स कुञ्जो राजेन्द्र नैमिषेय इति स्मृतः ।

54. evaṁ sa kuñjo rājendra naimiṣeya iti smṛtaḥ ,

54. evam sa kuñjaḥ rājendra naimiṣeyaḥ iti smṛtaḥ

54. rājendra evam saḥ kuñjaḥ naimiṣeyaḥ iti smṛtaḥ
kuruśreṣṭha kurukṣetre mahatīḥ kriyāḥ kuruṣva
54. Thus, O best of kings, that grove is remembered as Naimiṣeya. O best of Kurus, perform great rituals in Kurukṣetra.
तत्र कुञ्जान्बहून्दृष्ट्वा संनिवृत्तां च तां नदीम् ।

55. atha tatra bahūn kuñjān ca tām saṃnivṛttām nadīm
dṛṣṭvā tatra mahātmanaḥ rāmasya vismayaḥ babhūva
55. Then, upon seeing many groves there and that river which had turned back, great wonder arose in the great-souled Rama.
उपस्पृश्य तु तत्रापि विधिवद्यदुनन्दनः ।
दत्त्वा दायान्द्विजातिभ्यो भाण्डानि विविधानि च ।

56. upaspṛśya tu tatrāpi vidhivadyadunandanaḥ ,

upaspṛśya vividhāni bhāṇḍāni ca dāyān
dattvā dvijātibhyaḥ vividham bhakṣyam

56. Having duly performed purificatory rites there, the delight of the Yadus (Yadunandana) then bestowed gifts upon the twice-born (dvija), including various vessels, and presented them with diverse food and drink.
ततः प्रायाद्बलो राजन्पूज्यमानो द्विजातिभिः ।

57. rājan tataḥ balaḥ dvijātibhiḥ pūjyamānaḥ

57. O King, then Balarama, being honored by the twice-born (dvija), proceeded to the excellent sacred bathing place (tīrtha) of Sarasvati, which was teeming with various groups of twice-born (dvija).
