In the sacred city of Mathurā, when people depart while Janārdana rests, their ancestors are blessed; they attain satisfaction and abide in the highest state for the duration of their descendants’ stay. By the grace of Janārdana, those who come to Mathurā also attain supreme perfection, and there is no doubt about this. Remarkably, even without the paths of Sāṅkhya or Yoga, his grace alone ensures their liberation. Those who offer gifts and alms in Mathurā are considered gods in human form. Among them, from the lineage of King Yayāti, a noble Kṣatriya arises, increasing his family’s renown. Janārdana himself declares that he will assume four forms in Mathurā, praised by the sages. One form will appear like fragrant sandalwood, another will shine like gold, and in these forms, his secret names will be present. In that sacred place, Janārdana will cause thirty-two to fall, and the ever-pure Yamunā river will flow constantly, unchanging. Those who reach the Gaṅgā at Prayāga, known as the Veṇī, encounter the famed Yamunā there; it is so renowned that no further inquiry is needed. Bathing at these holy sites, devotees are honored in Janārdana’s world. They are not reborn among mortals; instead, they are born four-armed, and departing life in these places, they reach Janārdana’s realm. Anyone who bathes in these sacred waters attains Janārdana’s world. Having seen the deity and freed from all fatigue, they obtain the fruit of their devotion. Bathing at the place called Viśrānti yields the same reward. With just two circumambulations, one is transported to Viṣṇu’s world. Whoever bathes there attains Janārdana’s realm and receives the fruit of the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice. If one gives up life in these holy places, they go directly to Janārdana’s world. Even by merely bathing there, one rejoices in the heights of heaven and is honored in his realm. In the land of the Pāñcālas lies the foremost city, Kāmpilya. There lived a barber named Tiṃduka, whose family, over time, fell into ruin. Renouncing all attachments, Tiṃduka journeyed to Mathurā. There, after performing a hundred good deeds and bathing in the Yamunā, he eventually reached the end of his life. In that splendid house was a Brāhmaṇa, foremost among yogis, who attained rare liberation by the power of that holy place. Once, the mighty Vairochana worshipped the Sun. With arms raised and fasting, he performed supreme austerity. The radiant Sun, pleased by his devotion, spoke to him. Bali, despite lacking wealth, had supported his family. In response, the Sun bestowed upon him a wish-fulfilling gem from his crown. A person who bathes at that holy place is freed from all sins, especially on the day of the sun, at the time of the solstice, or during an eclipse of the moon or sun.
