Having enjoyed abundant pleasures, a soul again attains that sacred place, graced with divine merit. For sixty thousand years and sixty hundred more, he dwells in that holy realm. After his time there has passed, O king, he falls from that celestial abode and is born into a prosperous family on earth. For a hundred thousand years, he is honored in heaven, celebrated among the blessed. Once more, after enjoying abundant pleasures, he returns to that sacred place. Now, hear also the fruit of what has been enjoyed by birds: when one falls from there, he becomes a righteous king. Having relished great pleasures, he again attains that sacred place. The sacred site known as Ṛṇapramocana is regarded as supreme among all holy places. There, one attains the world of the sun and remains forever free from debt. The blessed ones have gathered where the Yamunā river flows, drawn by its sanctity. Merely mentioning its name, even from a thousand yojanas away, destroys all sin. Whoever gives up their life there attains the highest state. Those who die after bathing in its waters ascend to heaven and are not reborn. One is freed from even the greatest sins before the Lord of Dharma; there can be no doubt. The sages declare that these sacred places are established at Prayāga. In heaven, on earth, and in the sky, all these are known as Jāhnavī. Know this as the field of accomplishment, situated along the banks of the Gaṅgā. The Lord of the Banyan tree always resides there; that is the sacred place, that is the forest of austerity. One should recite these teachings in the ear of a friend or a devoted disciple, for they are holy, delightful, purifying, and supremely righteous. A twice-born who studies a chapter here attains purity. He gains remembrance of his birth and rejoices in the highest heaven. Bathe at these sacred places, O Kauravya, and let your mind be straight and pure. The sage described the sacred places that exist on earth. Having been questioned, he revealed everything and then departed. Freed from all sins, he goes to the world of Rudra. Then, the assembly questioned Sūta Uttara about the determination of the earth and its mysteries. “Now we wish to hear about the sphere of these three worlds,” they said, eager to learn about the forests, the rivers, and the positions of the sun and planets as well. “O Sūta, you ought to speak here concisely about the kings.” Having bowed to the immeasurable One, Sūta began to recount what the wise sage had spoken. The king had ten sons, all equal to Prajāpati in virtue: Medhā, Medhātithi, Havya, and Savana were among them. These sons were righteous, devoted to giving, and compassionate to all beings. Blessed with great fortune and remembering their past births, they did not set their minds on the kingdom. The king appointed his son Agnīdhra as lord of Jambūdvīpa. He anointed Vapuṣmat, lord of Śālmaladvīpa, as king. Dyutimat was assigned as king in Krauñcadvīpa. Savana was made lord of Puṣkara, the lord of creatures. Thus, the sage spoke of the sacred places and the righteous kings, revealing all before departing, leaving the assembly blessed and enlightened.
