As the tale unfolds, it is said that the swan, journeying across a yojana of time, could not reach the end of the divine liṅga. Recognizing this, it was deemed proper to turn back, just as had been advised before, O Lord. With this realization, the Four-faced Brahmā, joyful in mind, took what he had found and presented it to Viṣṇu, declaring, “This is from the very top of the liṅga.” The auspicious Ketakī flower garland, brought by Brahmā, was then given to the Four-armed Viṣṇu, who had reached the end of his quest. Yet, Brahmā confessed, “O Brahman, I am not able to reach the farthest limit of this liṅga in any way. If you have somehow found the end, O Brahman, let it be known. Otherwise, the end of this is not seen by anyone, anywhere.” At that moment, the great Lord Śiva became angry with Brahmā. Approaching the witness, he exclaimed, “Fie, fie upon the one who speaks uselessly! Because you have falsely claimed to have seen my limit, those men who worship you, filled with delusion, will not find fulfillment. And likewise, because Ketakī has spoken falsely, by that most wicked act—” With these words, the god pronounced a curse upon both Brahmā and the Ketakī flower, and then turned to Keśava (Viṣṇu). Addressing Viṣṇu, Śiva said, “Because of your truthful speech alone, choose a boon, O steadfast one. O god, you do not attain satisfaction from those who are impure. Bring this liṅga, called Ananta, to a lighter form without delay.” Again, he instructed Keśava, “Hear this, O Hari: in this most pure place, establish the liṅga for me.” Burned by the radiance of Śiva, Viṣṇu became dark in color. Therefore, O man, it is said that upon rising in the morning, one should utter “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa” as his name. Vāsudeva, taking that liṅga, proceeded to Arbuda mountain, and from this event, the sacred place called Kṛṣṇa-tīrtha arose upon the earth. Whoever bathes in the holy Kṛṣṇa lake and beholds that liṅga attains, without desire, the fruit of all gifts. Therefore, one should make every effort to bathe there. On the eleventh day, O great king, fasting and with senses controlled, he who with faith performs śrāddha in the morning, or gives black sesame to the brāhmaṇas, or merely sees Kṛṣṇa-tīrtha, receives great merit. On the slope of that mountain lies a place known as Māmu-hrada. There, a man who bathes properly, with faith and full concentration, and sees the liṅga on its western side, attains the supreme good, rare even among all sacred places. He who performs śrāddha there, giving gifts and taking refuge in the image, is especially blessed; and the great sages praise the offering of nīvāra grains at that place. Now, O King, you asked about Mudgala’s hermitage. Pulastya replied: Once, the great-souled Mudgala was present there. He spoke, “I have been sent by the king of the gods, O best of sages. Tell me what you wish; having heard, I shall do whatever is proper. Go and tell them all; I will come there afterwards.” Thus, the sacred events unfolded, sanctifying these holy places and revealing the power of truth, devotion, and selfless action.
