of the Kurus, there is an auspicious tirtha known by the name of Anajanma, of the high-souled Narada.  He that bathes there, O Bharata, obtaineth, after death, at the command of Narada various unrivalled regions.  One should next proceed, on the tenth day of the lighted fortnight, to the tirtha called Pundarika.  Bathing there, O king, one obtaineth the merit of the Pundarika sacrifice.  One should next proceed to the tirtha called Tripishtapa that is known over the three worlds.  There in that tirtha is the sacred and sin-destroying river called Vaitarani.  Bathing there and adoring the god known by the mark of the bull and holding the trident in his hand, one’s soul being purified from every sin one attaineth to the highest state.  One should next proceed, O king, to the excellent tirtha called Phalakivana.  There in that tirtha the gods, O monarch, having been present, performed their ascetic austerities extending for many thousand years.  One should then proceed to the Dhrishadwati.  Bathing there and worshipping the gods, one obtaineth, O Bharata, merit that is superior to that of both the Agnishtoma and the Atiratra sacrifices.  O chief of the Bharatas, bathing in that tirtha called Sarvadeva, a man obtaineth, O king, the merit of giving away a thousand kine.  Bathing next in the tirtha called Panikhata and worshipping all the gods, a man obtaineth merit that is superior to that of both the Agnishtoma and the Atiratra sacrifices, besides acquiring that of the Rajasuya sacrifice and finally going into the region of the Rishis.  One should next proceed, O virtuous one, to that excellent tirtha called Misraka.  There, O tiger among kings, it hath been heard by us that the high-souled Vyasa, for the sake of the Brahmanas, hath mixed all the tirthas.  He, therefore, that bathes in Misraka really bathes in all the tirtha.  One should next proceed with subdued senses and regulated diet, to the tirtha called Vyasavana.  Bathing in the tirtha called Manojava that is there, one obtaineth the merit of the gift of a thousand kine.  Proceeding next to the Devi tirtha that is in Madhuvati, one that bathes there and worships the gods and the Pitris obtains at the command of the Goddess the merit of the gift of a thousand kine.  Proceeding with regulated diet, he that bathes in the confluence of the Kausiki and the Drishadwati, becometh free from all his sins.  One should next proceed to Vyasasthali where Vyasa of great intelligence, burning with grief for his son had resolved to cast off his body but was cheered again by the gods.  Proceeding to that spot of Vyasa, one obtaineth the merit of a thousand kine.  O son of the Kuru race, proceeding next to the well called Kindatta, he that throweth into it a measure of sesame, is freed from all his
