Thus in the holy Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the middle section spoken by Vāyu, within the third introductory division of the Arjuna narrative, is the twenty-sixth chapter. Vasiṣṭha said: In that city whose splendor rivaled Indra’s own, the wondrous cow of the foremost sage later fashioned, within those houses, multitudes of fitting men and women.
