Adhyaya 77 — Sanjna’s Withdrawal from Surya: The Birth of Yama and Yamuna, and the Emergence of Chhaya
मार्कण्डेय उवाच इत्युक्ता सा तदा पित्रा तथेत्युक्त्वा च सा मुने ।
संपूजयित्वा पितरं जगामाथोत्तरान् कुरून् ॥
mārkaṇḍeya uvāca ityuktā sā tadā pitrā tathetyuktvā ca sā mune / saṃpūjayitvā pitaraṃ jagāmāthottarān kurūn
মাৰ্কণ্ডেয় ক’লে—পিতাই এনেদৰে কোৱাত তাই, হে মুনি, ‘এৱমস্তু’ বুলি উত্তৰ দিলে। পিতাক যথাবিধি পূজা কৰি পাছত তাই উত্তৰকুরু দেশলৈ গ’ল।

Even when departing to pursue one’s course, one completes obligations through reverence (saṃpūjā) to elders—dharma before travel.
Touches ‘bhūgola/geo-mythic’ material (Uttara-Kuru) but remains chiefly narrative (kathā) rather than a formal cosmography section.
Uttara-Kuru often connotes an idealized, otherworldly northern realm; the move suggests withdrawal from ordinary heat/experience toward a subtler spiritual condition.
