The best of the Kurus saw the pilgrimages one after the other. O descendant of Bharata, he saw the river Utpalasa in the forest of Naimisha: (he saw) the Nanda, the Upananda, the famous Kaushika, the great rivers Gaya and Ganga and other Tirthas and hermitages where he purified himself and gave away to the Brahmanas (many) kine.
आनुपूर्वेण तीर्थानि दृष्टवान् कुरुसत्तमः। नदी चोत्पलिनी रम्यामरण्यं नैमिषं प्रति॥ नन्दामपरनन्दां च कौशिकी च यशस्विनीम्। महानदीं गयां चैव गङ्गामपि च भारत॥ एवं तीर्थानि सर्वाणि पश्यमानस्तथाऽऽश्रमान्। आत्मनः पावनं कुर्वन् ब्राह्मणेभ्यो ददौ च गाः॥
