We hear, O Srinjaya, that Yayati the son of Nahusha also met with death. Having brought under his sway the whole world with its seas, he journeyed through it, adorning it with various sacrificial altars the interstices between which were measured by throws of a heavy piece of wood. Indeed, he reached the very bank of the sea as he went on celebrating great sacrifices.
ययातिं नाहुषं चैव मृतं संजय शुश्रुम। य इमां पृथिवीं कृत्स्नां विजित्य सहसागराम्॥ शम्यापातेनाभ्यतीयाद् वेदीभिश्चित्रयन् महीम्। ईजानः क्रतुभिर्मुख्यैः पर्यगच्छद् वसुन्धराम्॥
