Afterwards, the pilgrim made his way to Kṣetrapāla, approaching Śiva, the Lord of all beings and the remover of evil. There, he came upon the sacred Kṛṣṇa’s Play Bridge, renowned as a destroyer of great sins. It was here that Kṛṣṇa himself, accompanied by the cowherds, would linger each day for a brief moment, sanctifying the place with his presence. Nearby was the auspicious Bali-pond, crafted for water-sport and delight. Kṛṣṇa would play there, amusing himself with roosters, his laughter echoing across the holy site. A lofty pillar stood with a beautiful summit, fragrant with delightful scents, inviting worship. The pilgrim circumambulated this pillar and worshipped it with care, mindful of the devotion offered by Vasudeva and Devakī for the protection of their unborn child. With reverence, one would then enter the abode of Nārāyaṇa, seeking liberation. After seeing these sacred sites, the pilgrim would inform his companions and the Lord of rites, and with their permission, proceed to see Śiva, Lord of the Pit. The goddess Mahāvidyeśvarī resided there, removing the evil of obstacles for all who approached. In that place, the pilgrim would behold Prabhā and Mallī, and by their grace, attain his desired wishes. The goddess, ever-present, granted success and destroyed sin, her power marked by a sign that determined the certainty of mantras. Because she bestowed both success and enjoyment, she was revered as Siddheśvarī. A pool with clear water lay nearby, its purity capable of destroying great sins. By merely seeing it, the pilgrim was freed from all burdens of wrongdoing. The journey continued to Vighnarāja, Gaṇeśa, the remover of obstacles, and to the virtuous Gaṅgā, whose waters cleansed even the gravest sins. The great abode of Rudra was also there, his form radiant like the face of Mahādeva. From this place, gazing toward the northern quarter, the pilgrim beheld the god Gaṇeśvara. Here, Kṛṣṇa, through playful jest, had overcome the cowherd women and their wealth, sanctifying the site further. The very act of Gopāla Kṛṣṇa’s presence at these places destroyed great sins, and whatever was done there, in whatever form and manner, carried the same sanctity. Afterwards, the pilgrim journeyed to the great, pure holy place in the waters of the Yamunā. He proceeded to the highly meritorious Gargya Tīrtha, bathed, and saw the god Someśvara, thereby attaining the fruit of pilgrimage. Having offered oblations and gifts with due reverence, he gained union with Viṣṇu. In the same manner, he visited Dhārālopanaka and Vaikuṇṭha Khaṇḍavelaka, as well as the holy place of the cowherds and Muktikeśvara. These sacred sites were known as Viśrānti, the places of rest. After worshipping the gods and ancestors, the pilgrim propitiated the deity, his journey through Mathurā made fruitful by divine command. He bathed at Viśrānti and offered oblations to the ancestors, then proceeded to Sumaṅgalā, seeking the fulfillment of his pilgrimage. With humility, he prayed for the pilgrimage to be fruitful by the grace of the divine. Having circumambulated the holy site, the great ascetic rested there, protected by the sanctity of the place. By establishing a mark with his own name, he attained the fruit of the pilgrimage. Finally, after witnessing all these wonders, the pilgrim proceeded to the goddess created by Krishna, completing his sacred journey with reverence and gratitude.
