Vaishampayana said : That best of kings, (Yayati), having installed Puru on the throne went to the mount Bhrigu to become a great ascetic. After many years he succumbed to the inevitable influence of Time. Observing the vow of fasting, he ascended heaven with his wives.
वैशम्पायन उवाच ततः स नृपशार्दूल पूरुं राज्येऽभिषिच्य च। ततः सुचरितं कृत्वा भृगुतुङ्गे महातपाः॥ कालेन महता पश्चात् कालधर्ममुपेयिवान्। कारयित्वा त्वनशनं सदारः स्वर्गमाप्तवान्॥
