And serpents bask them in the sun:

Where Krishṇaveṇí's[691] currents flee,

And sparkles fair Godávarí.[692]

Through Mekhal[693] pass and Utkal's[694] land:

Go where Daśárṇa's[695] cities stand.

Avantí[696] seek, of high renown,

And Abravanti's[697] glorious town.

Search every hill and brook and cave

Where Daṇḍak's woods their branches wave

Ayomukh's[698] woody hill explore
