Chapter 82
अथ गच्छेत राजेन्द्र देविकां लोकविश्रुताम् । प्रसूतिर्यत्र विप्राणां श्रूयते भरतर्षभ,भरतवंशशिरोमणे! राजेन्द्र! वहाँसे लोकविख्यात देविकातीर्थकी यात्रा करे, जहाँ ब्राह्मणोंकी उत्पत्ति सुनी जाती है
atha gacchet rājendra devikāṃ lokaviśrutām | prasūtir yatra viprāṇāṃ śrūyate bharatarṣabha ||
তাৰ পাছত, হে ৰাজেন্দ্ৰ! লোকবিশ্ৰুত ‘দেৱিকা’ তীৰ্থলৈ যোৱা উচিত—হে ভৰতশ্ৰেষ্ঠ! য’ত ব্ৰাহ্মণসকলৰ উৎপত্তিৰ কথা শ্ৰুত হয়।

Educational Q&A
The verse frames pilgrimage as an ethical practice: a king is guided to sacred places that preserve collective memory of dharma—here, a site famed for traditions about the origin of the Brāhmaṇas—thereby reinforcing respect for learning, lineage, and the social-moral order.
A speaker instructs the king to continue his pilgrimage route by going to the celebrated Devikā tīrtha, noted in tradition as a place associated with the reported origin or first emergence of the Brāhmaṇas.
