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 debts and obtaineth his success.  Bathing in the tirtha called Vedi, one obtaineth the merit of the gift of a thousand kine.  There are two other celebrated tirthas called Ahas and Sudina.  Bathing there, O tiger among men, one goeth to the region of the Sun.  One should next proceed to the tirtha called Mrigadhuma that is celebrated throughout the three worlds.  One should bathe there, O king, in Ganga.  Bathing there and worshipping Mahadeva, one obtaineth the merit of the horse-sacrifice.  Bathing next in the Devi tirtha one obtaineth the merit of the gift of a thousand kine.  One should then proceed to Vamanaka celebrated over the three worlds.  Bathing there in Vishnupada and worshipping Vamana one’s soul being purified from every sin, one goeth to the abode of Vishnu.  Bathing next in Kulampuna, one sanctifieth his own race.  Proceeding then to the Pavana-hrada, that excellent tirtha of the Marutas, and bathing there, O king and tiger among men, one becometh adored in the region of the Wind-god.  Bathing in the Amara-hrada and worshipping with devotion the chief of the celestials, one becometh adored in heaven and courseth, seated on an excellent car, in the company of the immortals.  O best of great men, bathing next with due rites in the tirtha called Sali surya, of Salihotra, one obtaineth the merit of the gift of a thousand kine.  O best of the Bharatas, there is a tirtha called Sreekunja in the Saraswati.  Bathing there, O best of men, one obtaineth the merit of the Agnishtoma sacrifice.  O son of the Kuru race, one should next repair to Naimishakunja.  O king, the Rishis engaged in ascetic austerities in the woods of Naimisha had, in days of old, taking the vow of pilgrimage, gone to Kurukshetra.  There, on the banks of the Saraswati, O chief of the Bharatas, a grove was made, which might serve for a
