"The fire, the sun, the organ of generation, water, the goddess, the seed of Vishnu, nectar and the navel of nectar. The god of fire is the organ that generated you (ocean). The earth is your body. Vishnu gave the seed that caused your being. You are the navel of nectar." O son of Pandu, you must recite the above words of truth and as you recite you must quickly ascend this altar. O Pandava, thus, these words of truth must be audibly recited; and while thus reciting them, one must plunge into this lord of rivers (ocean).
अग्निर्मित्रायोनिरापोऽथ देव्यो विष्णो रेतस्त्वममृतस्य नाभिः। एवं ब्रुवन् पाण्डव सत्यवाक्यं वेदीमिमां त्वं तरसाधिरोह॥ अग्निश्च ते योनिरिडा च देहो रेतोधा विष्णोरमृतस्य नाभिः। एवं जपन् पाण्डव सत्यवाक्यं ततोऽवगाहेत पति नदीनाम्॥
