Having recounted these sacred sites, the son of Śilāda addresses the sage, the son of Mṛkaṇḍu, with heartfelt words. He asks, “Is there any disciple like me for you? Your compassion alone bears witness here. In all these places you have described, the results of pilgrimage and worship are distinct and unique. Among all beings, whether moving or unmoving, whether they know or do not know, see, O Lord, by this alone, you are not worshipped by me.” He then recalls the illustrious sages who have worshipped and honored the Lord: Pulaha, Pulastya, Vasiṣṭha, and Marīci; Jābāli, Jaimini, Dhaumya, and Jamadagni; Pippalāda, Kaṇṭha, Kumuda, and Upamanyu; Vibhāṇḍaka, Vyāsa, Kaṇva, and Kaṇḍu; Caṇḍa, Kauśika, Śāṇḍilya, Śākaṭāyana, and Kauśika; Āpastamba, Pṛthustamba, Bhārgava, Udaṅka, and Parvata; Kauṇḍinya, Puṇḍarīka, Raibhya, and Tṛṇabindu; Bodhāyana, Subodha, Hārīta, and Mṛkaṇḍu; Kāṃkvārya, Nadanta, Devadatta, and Nyaṃku; Lokākṣi, Viśravas, Saiṃdhava, and Sumaṃtu; Ṛṣyaśṛṅga, Ekapāt, Krauñca, Dṛḍha, Gomukha, and Devala; and Sanatkumara, Sanaka, Sanandana, and Sanatana; Maitreya, Pushpajit, Satyatapa, Shalisha, and Shaishira.
