Then they went to Mahidhara, consecrated by the virtuous. Royal sage Gaya of matchless effulgence. Here stands the hill called Gayasira and where flows the sacred great river. With charming banks adorned with bushes of cane plants. On that celestials and sacred hill of holy peaks. Is the highly sacred Tirtha called Brahmasara adored by the Rishis, where Agastya went to the high-souled Vivasvata.
ततो महीधरं जग्मुर्धर्मज्ञेनाभिसंस्कृतम्॥ राजर्षिणा पुण्यकृता गयेनानुपमद्युते। नगो गयशिरो यत्र पुण्या चैव महानदी॥ वानीरमालिनी रम्या नदी पुलिनशोभिता। दिव्यं पवित्रकूटं च पवित्रंधरणीधरम्॥ ऋषिजुष्टं सुपुण्यं तत् तीर्थं ब्रह्मसरोत्तमम्। अगस्त्यो भगवान् यत्र गतो वैवस्वतं प्रति॥
