O son of Kunti, he obtained the greatest success by his sacrifices and asceticism; this is the place where the king of all kings, the immeasurably powerful Yayati, the son of Nahusha, performed his sacrifices. He competed with Indra and he performed his sacrifices here.
यज्ञैश्च तपसा चैव परां सिद्धिमवाप सः। देशश्च नाहुषस्यायं यज्वनः पुण्यकर्मणः॥ सार्वभौमस्य कौन्तेय ययातेरमितौजसः। स्पर्धमानस्य शक्रेण तस्येदं यज्ञवास्त्विह॥
