By the power and sanctity of that revered place, the seekers journeyed onward and at last arrived at Śvetadvīpa. There, having relinquished their mortal forms, they entered this sacred realm, transformed beyond their human state. Clad in radiant white garments and adorned with ornaments of divine brilliance, they shone with a celestial splendor. Even the women of Śvetadvīpa were of divine nature, adorned with heavenly jewels, their presence exuding purity and grace. In this exalted realm, all had attained pure and supreme devotion to me, their hearts steadfast in truthfulness. Among them were Matsya and Cillī, and others who had come, driven by sincere desire. The twice-born who dwell there are engaged in those very righteous acts that are imbued with the essence of Vishnu. Those devoted to me perform their actions, established firmly in my worship, and through such deeds, they attain dissolution into the five elements, merging with the highest reality. Having abandoned their human state, they have reached my own world. All the women there, fragrant with the scent of lotuses, have, by my grace, arrived at Śvetadvīpa, O beautiful-hipped one. Among all actions, the highest act; among all austerities, the greatest austerity; and among all righteousness, the supreme righteousness—these I have proclaimed for your sake, as the most sacred of teachings. This sacred knowledge should not be shared with those who lack devotion, who are faithless or deceitful. It is to be imparted only to one who is learned, skilled in the scriptures, and whose soul is pure. Such a person is freed from the fear of rebirth in the womb. Whoever follows this path and comes to the great Kokāmukha, by this very method, attains the supreme state. Then, having heard of the glory of Sumanogandha and Kokāma, the earth herself, filled with righteousness, spoke. Dharaṇī addressed the Lord: “Even one born in an animal womb, if they attain the supreme state, by your grace, O Lord, I wish to understand this mystery. Through austerity or action, how do they behold you, O Mādhava?” Thus questioned by the goddess Mādhavī, Mādhava replied. Śrī Varāha spoke: “I shall reveal to you the secret dharma, the path to liberation from worldly existence. When the season of clouds has passed and the clear autumn arrives—at a time neither too cold nor too hot, when the swans are calling—on the auspicious twelfth day of the month of Kumuda, that is the sacred time. As long as the worlds endure, O Earth, so long will this time be auspicious. On that twelfth day, having performed my prescribed duties in the spring season, one should recite this mantra: ‘O Lord, praised by Brahmā and Rudra, honored by sages and worthy of veneration, you have attained the twelfth day. Awaken, arise; the clouds have departed, the full moon has risen, the autumn flowers have blossomed. O Lord of the worlds, I offer these to you. For the sake of righteousness and to please you, I awaken and rise. O Lord of the worlds, those who worship you with sacrifice, with rituals, and with the Vedas—pure, awakened, and vigilant—worship you, O Lord of the worlds.’ In this manner, O illustrious one, these acts are to be performed on the twelfth day. Thus, I have described in full the entire autumnal rite. The rite of awakening, when performed by men, leads them to the supreme state. Those who, enduring the hardships of cold and wind, remain steadfast in their devotion to me, and those who perform acts in winter, as the trees blossom anew, should recite with joined hands this mantra: ‘O Lord of winter, O Sustainer, O Lord of the worlds, this frost, this difficult and hard-to-enter season—carry me across this worldly existence, O Upholder, Lord of the three worlds.’ Whoever performs acts in winter with this mantra, to them I grant my favor. Moreover, O Earth, listen well, for I shall tell you something further. There, I will declare the results of flowers and other offerings, and the fruits that arise from such devotion.
