Thus, in the holy Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, as spoken by Vāyu, in the middle section, in the third Upoddhāta-pāda, within the Sāgara narrative, ends the fifty-fifth chapter called “Aṁśumān’s Attainment of the Kingdom.” Jaimini said: This entire sacred history of the great-souled Sāgara has been told both briefly and in detail, and it destroys sin.
