Do you, O Rāma, hearken to the story of the high-souled Sagara's sacrifice. Sankara's fatherin-law is the far-famed Himavat. And approaching each other, the Himavat and the vindhya behold each other. And on the region lying between them took place, O foremost of men, that sacrifice of Sagara's.
श्रूयतां विस्तरो राम सगरस्य महात्मनः। शंकरश्वशुरो नाम्ना हिमवानिति विश्रुतः॥ विन्ध्यपर्वतमासाद्य निरीक्षेते परस्परम्। तयोर्मध्ये समभवद् यज्ञः स पुरुषोत्तम ॥
