Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
आज्यभागेन तत्राग्निं तर्पयित्वा यथाविधि । देवा: स्वभवनं याता ऋषयश्च यथाक्रमम्,तदनन्तर भगवान् भृगुने वहाँ सब ऋषियोंके यहाँ शास्त्रीय विधिके अनुसार पुनः भलीभाँति अग्निस्थापन कराया। उस समय आज्यभागके द्वारा विधिपूर्वक अग्निको तृप्त करके सब देवता और ऋषि क्रमश: अपने-अपने स्थानको चले गये
ājyabhāgena tatrāgniṃ tarpayitvā yathāvidhi | devāḥ svabhavanaṃ yātā ṛṣayaś ca yathākramam ||
Pulastya disse: “Tendo ali satisfeito devidamente o fogo sagrado com a oblação prescrita de manteiga clarificada, os deuses partiram para suas moradas, e os rishis também se retiraram, em devida ordem, para seus respectivos lugares.”
