Then, O king of kings, one should go to Prayaga which is highly praised by the Rishis. Here live Brahma and other celestials, the quarters with their presiding deities, the Lokapalas, the Saddhyas, the Pitris adored by the world, the grcat Rishis, Sanatkumar and others, the stainless Brahmarshis, Angiras and others, the Nagas, the Suparnas, the Siddhas, the snakes, the rivers, the seas, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras and the exalted Hari with the lord of creatures (Brahma) in front. There are three fiery caverns between which Janhavi, the foremost of Tirthas, rolls rapidly onward. The daughter of Tapana, celebrated all over the three worlds, the world purifying Yamuna unites here with the Ganges. The country between the Ganges and the Yamuna is considered as the Jaghana of the earth.
ततो गच्छेत राजेन्द्र प्रयागमृषिसंस्तुतम्॥ तत्र ब्रह्मादयो देवा दिशश्च सदिगीश्वराः। लोकपालाश्च साध्याश्च पितरो लोकसम्मताः॥ सनत्कुमारप्रमुखास्तथैव परमर्षयः। अङ्गिरःप्रमुखाश्चैव तथा ब्रह्मर्षयोऽमलाः॥ तथा नागाः सुपर्णाश्च सिद्धाश्चक्रचरास्तथा। सरितः सागराश्चैव गन्धर्वाप्सरसोऽपि च॥ हरिश्च भगवानास्ते प्रजापतिपुरस्कृतः। तत्र त्रीण्यग्निकुण्डानि येषां मध्येन जाह्नवी॥ वेगेन समतिक्रान्ता सर्वतीर्थपुरस्कृता। तपनस्य सुता देवी त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुता॥ यमुना गड्या साधू संगता लोकपावनी। गङ्गायमुनयोर्मध्यं पृथिव्या जघनं स्मृतम्॥
