Within the twinkling of an eye that large crowd disappeared in the very sight of all those persons. Those great persons, plunging into the sacred river Bhagirathi, proceeded, with their cars and standards, to their respective abodes. Some went to the regions of the gods, some to the region of Brahman, some to the region of Varuna, and some to the region of Kubera. Some among those kings went to the region of Surya.
क्षणेनान्तर्हिताश्चैव प्रेक्षतामेव तेऽभवन्। अवगाह्य महात्मानः पुण्यां भागीरथी नदीम्॥ सरथाः सध्वजाश्चैव स्वानि वेश्मानि भेजिरे। देवलोकं ययुः केचित् केचिद् ब्रह्मसदस्तथा॥ केचिच्च वारुणं लोकं केचित् कौबेरमाप्नुवन्। ततो वैवस्वतं लोकं केचिच्चैवाप्नुवन्नृपाः॥
