O perpetuator of the Kuru race, then going to the Naimishakunja, the ascetic Rishis had in the days of yore left Naimisha. And going to a visit of Tirthas, they went to Kurukshetra. O best of the Bharata race, there on the banks of the Sarasvati, a grove was made.
ततो नैमिषकुझं च समासाद्य कुरूद्वह। ऋषयः किल राजेन्द्र नैमिषेयास्तपस्विनः॥ तीर्थयात्रां पुरस्कृत्य कुरक्षेत्रं गताः पुरा। ततः कुञ्जः सरस्वत्याः कृतो भरतसत्तम॥
