Thus, in the Śrī Brahmāṇḍa Mahāpurāṇa, in the earlier section spoken by Vāyu, in the second part, is the twenty-seventh chapter called “Anuṣaṅgapāda: the entry into the Dāru forest and the rite of bathing with sacred ash.” The ṛṣi said: “O king, how did he go to heaven month after month on the new-moon day (amāvasyā)? O Sūta, how did Aila Purūravas satisfy the Pitṛs with tarpaṇa?”
