Thus have I told you about the fourfold order among the gods. The person who, after rising from his bed in the morning, recites the names of these deities, becomes purged off of all his sins-whether committed by himself intentionally or unintentionally, or whether born of his intercourse with others. Yavakrita, Raivya, Arvavasu, Paravasu, Ausija, Kakshivat, and Vala, are described as the sons of Angiras. These and Kanwa son of the Rishi Medhatithi, and Varhishada, and the wellknown seven Rishis who are the progenitors of the three worlds, all live in the East. Unmucha, Vimucha, the highly energetic Sastyatreya, Pramucha, Idhmavaha, and the divine Dridavrata, and Mitravaruna's highly energetic son Agastya, these twice-born Rishis all live in the South Ushanga, Karusha, Dhaumya, Parivyadha of great energy, and those great Rishis called Ekata, Dvita, and Trita, and Atri's son, viz., the illustrious and powerful Sarasvat, these high-souled ones live in the West. Atreya, and Vashishtha, and the great Rishi Kashyapa, and Gautama, Bharadvaja, and Vishvamitra the son of Kushika, and the illustrious son of the high-souled Richika, viz., Jamadagni,-these seven live the North. Thus have I described to you the great Rishis of fiery energy who live in the different points of the world.
इत्येतत् सर्वदेवानां चातुर्वर्ण्य प्रकीर्तितम्। एतान् वै प्रातरुत्थाय देवान् यस्तु प्रकीर्तयेत्॥ स्वजादन्यकृताच्चैव सर्वपापात् प्रमुच्यते। यवक्रीतोऽथ रैभ्यश्च अर्वावसुपरावसू॥ औशिजश्चैव कक्षीवान् बलश्चाङ्गिरसः सुताः। ऋषिर्मेधातिथेः पुत्रः कण्वो बर्हिषदस्तथा॥ त्रैलोक्यभावनास्तात प्राच्यां सप्तपर्यस्तथा। उन्मुचो विमुचश्चैव स्वस्त्यात्रेयश्च वीर्यवान्॥ प्रमुचश्चेध्यवाहश्च भगवांश्च दृढव्रतः। मित्रावरुणयोः पुत्रस्तथागस्त्यः प्रतापवान्॥ एते ब्रह्मर्षयो नित्यमास्थिता दक्षिणां दिशम्। कवषो धौम्यः परिव्याधश्च वीर्यवान्।॥ एकतश्च द्वितश्चैव त्रिश्तचैव महर्षयः। अत्रेः पुत्रश्च भवांस्तथा सारस्वतः प्रभुः॥ एते चैव महात्मनः पश्चिमामाश्रिता दिशम्। आत्रेयश्च वसिष्ठच कश्यपश्च महानृषिः॥ गौतमोऽथ भरद्वाजो विश्वामित्रोऽथ कौशिकः। तथैव पुत्रो भगवानृचीकस्य महात्मनः॥ जमदग्निश्च सप्तैते उदीचीमाश्रिता दिशम्। एते प्रतिदिशं सर्वे कीर्तितास्तिग्मतेजसः॥
