There, in that Tirtha situate on the bank of that river, all the gods with Vasava at their head, the Vishvedevas, the Maruts, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Island-born Vyasa, Shuka, Krishna the slayer of Madhu, the Yakshas, the Rakshasas and the Pisachas, O king and various others. thousands in numbers, all crowned with ascetic success, always live. Indeed, in that auspicious and sacred Tirtha of the Sarasvati, Vishnu himself having in days of yore slain the Asuras, Madhu and Kaitabha, had, O chief of the Bharatas, performed his ablutions.
तस्या नद्यास्तु तीरे वै सर्वे देवाः सवासवाः। विश्वेदेवाः समरुतो गन्धर्वाप्सरसश्च ह। द्वैपायनः शुकश्चैव कृष्णाश्च मधुसूदनः। यक्षाश्च राक्षसाश्चैव पिशाचाश्च विशाम्पते॥ एते चान्ये च बहवो योगसिद्धाः सहस्रशः। तस्मिंस्तीर्थे सरस्वत्याः शिवे पुण्ये परंतप॥ तत्र हत्वा पुरा विष्णुरसुरौ मधुकैटभौ। आप्लुत्य भरतश्रेष्ठ तीर्थप्रवर उत्तमे॥
