Thus Addressed, Indra, at these words of Brahman, O Janamejaya, performed in that abode of Sarasvati various sacrifices. Distributing many presents and bathing in that tirtha, he of a hundred sacrifices, the destroyer of Vala, duly performed certain sacrifices and then bathed in the Aruna. He became freed from the sin caused by Brahmanicide. The king of the celestial region, then returned to heaven with a joyful heart.
इत्युक्तः स सरस्वत्याः कुञ्जे वै जनमेजय॥ इष्ट्वा यथावद् बलभिदरुणायामुपस्पृशत्। स मुक्तः पाप्मना तेन ब्रह्मवध्याकृतेन च॥ जगाम संहृष्टमनास्त्रिदिवं त्रिदशेश्वरः।
