Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Doon, ipinakilala ni Lomaśa sa kanya ang lahat ng mga ermitanyong pantas—yaong mula sa mga angkan nina Bhṛgu, Aṅgiras, Vasiṣṭha, at Kāśyapa. Ipinapakita ng tagpong iyon ang nararapat na paggalang sa mga nakapagtamo ng ganap na pagkaunawa, at ang kahalagahan ng pagkilala sa kapangyarihang espirituwal sa pamamagitan ng mga iginagalang na tradisyon.
