Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
पितामहस्य महतो वर्तमाने महामखे । वितते यज्ञवाटे च संसिद्धिषु द्विजातिषु,एक समयकी बात है, पुष्करतीर्थमें महात्मा ब्रह्माजीका एक महान् यज्ञ हो रहा था। उनकी विस्तृत यज्ञशालामें सिद्ध ब्राह्मण विराजमान थे। पुण्याहवाचनके निर्दोष घोष तथा वेदमन्त्रोंकी ध्वनिसे सारा यज्ञमण्डप गूँज रहा था और सम्पूर्ण देवता उस यज्ञ-कर्मके सम्पादनमें व्यस्त थे

Vaiśampāyana said: When the great Grandfather (Brahmā) was conducting a mighty sacrificial rite, and the sacrificial enclosure had been spread out and fully prepared, with accomplished twice-born priests in attendance, the entire arena resounded with faultless auspicious recitations and the reverberation of Vedic mantras, while all the gods busied themselves in carrying out the ritual acts.

It implies that ethical and cosmic stability are sustained by disciplined, faultless performance of sacred duties.
Vaiśampāyana describes a grand sacrifice of Brahmā at Puṣkara: the ritual ground is fully arranged, accomplished priests are seated, auspicious proclamations and Vedic mantras fill the pavilion, and the gods are actively engaged in the sacrificial proceedings.
