The journey begins with a soul reaching the world of the sage Vasiṣṭha, where he rejoices without doubt. Yet, this is not the end; leaving behind the realm of Vasiṣṭha, he ascends to my own divine abode. Along the way, he encounters five streams cascading from snowy peaks, marking the passage into new spiritual lands. He then arrives in the domain of the sage Pañcaśikha. After passing through Pañcacūḍa, he attains the supreme state, transcending earthly limitations. Nearby, seven streams tumble down the slopes of Himavat, the great mountain, signifying another sacred transition. Here, surrounded by the daughters of sages, he delights in their company and the blissful worlds of the wise. Departing from the company of the seven sages, his joy grows as he becomes established in my realm. At this stage, a single stream falls, associated with the river of Śarabhaṅga. Again, he rejoices in these worlds, embraced by the daughters of sages. Leaving Śarabhaṅga behind, he is honored in my world, his journey marked by reverence and fulfillment. Having taken the earth, only water remains, O noble-faced one. Angiras, another sage, reaches his own world, enjoying unbounded happiness. When he leaves the world of Agni, he attains my realm. Here, a single stream falls, resting upon the snowy peak, a sign of divine presence. Upon reaching the world of Bṛhaspati, he is enchanted by the sage’s daughters, and after leaving Bṛhaspati behind, he attains supreme perfection. Once more, a single stream falls, visible from the snowy abode, marking his progress. Again, in Bṛhaspati’s world, he is captivated by the sage’s daughters, and then, devoted to my deeds, he relinquishes his life, completing his journey. There exists the secret pool of Kārttikeya, a supreme field of mine. Here, one should bathe after dwelling for six days. After performing the Cāndrāyaṇa rite and attaining purity, he relinquishes his life, ascending further. Another sacred place is Umā’s pool, also a supreme field of mine, where a man should bathe after staying for ten nights. After fulfilling this observance, he relinquishes his life, drawing closer to liberation. This is the pool of Maheśvara, where Umā was led in marriage. Three streams descend here, originating from the Himalaya mountains. A man who observes a twelve-day vow should bathe in these waters. If, after performing a most difficult act, one gives up life here, the journey continues to the renowned Brahma-kunda, where the Vedas themselves arose. From the eastern side of Brahma-kunda, an auspicious stream of equal measure falls. On the northern side, there is one resembling gold, and on the western side, another associated with the Yajur Veda. One stream falls here, its color reminiscent of the indragopa insect. Reaching the world of Brahma, the soul rejoices together with Brahma himself. A mortal who desires success must come to this sacred place—there is no doubt. For such a person, no further action remains, even if he stays thus. The purest of the pure should not be given indiscriminately; its sanctity must be preserved. Through these observances, ten generations of both paternal and maternal lineages are liberated. And, for one who seeks the highest attainment—liberation from all worldly existence—this is the path to ultimate freedom.
