Varga said : O best of the Bharata race, we were all greatly distressed. We sought the protection of that ascetic of undeviating vows.

(We said), "O Brahmana, intoxicated with beauty and youth and maddened by the god of love, we have acted very improperly, you should pardon us.

I was enough death to us that we had at all come here to tempt such an ascetic of controlled soul as you are.

The virtuous men consider that women are created as fion-slayable, therefore you should not kill us. Grow yourself in virtue.

O virtuous man, it is said that a Brahmana has always friendly feelings over all creatures. O Rishi of blessedness, let this saying of the learned be made true.

The good man always protects those that seek protection at his hands. We solicit your protection; you should therefore pardon us."

Vaishampayana said : O hero, having been thus addressed, that virtuous-minded Brahmana of good deeds, as effulgent as the sun or the Moon, became propitious to them.

The Brahmana said: The words "hundreds" and "hundred thousands” all indicate cternity. The "hundred" used by me should be understood as a limited period and not as eternity.

You shall, becoming crocodiles, seize and drag men into water. (After the expiration of one hundred years), a best of men will drag you all from the water to the land. You will then resume your own real forms. I have never spoken an untruth even in jest.

From that day all those sacred Tirthas will be known by the name of Nari Tirthas all over the world. All of them will be sacred and sincleansing in the eyes of the virtuous and the wise.

Varga said : Having saluted that Brahmana with reverence and walked round him, we left that place in great grief; and we all came away thinking (all the while), "Where shall we soon meet with that man who will give us own old forms?"

O descendant of Bharata, as we were, thinking, at that very moment we met with the illustrious celestials Rishi Narada.

O Partha, seeing that celestials Rishi of immeasurable effulgence, our hearts were filled with joy. Having saluted him with revenge we stood before him with faces covered with blushes.

He asked us the cause of our sorrow and we told him all. Having heard what had happened, he thus spoke to us,

"In the low lands on the coast of the southern sea there are five sacred and delightful Tirthas, go there without delay.

That best of men the pure-souled Pandava Dhananjaya (Arjuna) will certainly deliver you from your this distressful state.” O hero, hearing the Rishi's words, all of us came here. O sinless one, I have been really delivered by you to-day.

But, those others of my friends are still within the waters of the other lakes. O hero, perform a good work, deliver them all.

Vaishampayana said : O king, thereupon that best of the Pandavas (Arjuna) of great prowess gladly delivered all of them from that curse.

O king, rising from the waters, they all regained their old forms and those Apsaras then all looked as they looked before.

Making safe those Tirthas and giving them (Apsaras) leave to go away, that lord (Arjuna) went again to Manipur to see Chitrangada once more,

He saw there on the throne Babhruvahana, begotten by him (on Chitrangada). Seeing her, O king, the Pandava (Arjuna) said to Chitravahana.

O king! kindly accept this Babhruvahana as the subscription of Chitrangada. Thus, I will be free from your debt.

Again the son of Pandu told ChitrangadaDear! May God grant you all happiness. You live here and protect Babhruvahana

In due course, you shall live extremely happily at our dwelling place Indraprastha. Reaching there, you shall get an opportunity to see my mother Kunti, Yudhisthira, Bhimsena, my younger brothers Nakula and Sahadeva and other relatives. O innocent lady! you shall be extremely pleased after meeting my all relatives.

Always crowned with righteousness and trutii, the son of Kunti, Yudhisthira after conquering whole earth will perform Rajsuya sacrifice.

At that time, all great kings of carth will arrive there. Your father too will come there with many gems (for gift).

For the service of Chitravahana, you should come to attend Rajsuya sacrifice along with them, where I shall meet you. At this time, leave the grief and protect your child.

I am leaving on earth only because of Babhruvahana's name. Therefore, you should bring up this child who is spreader of our dynasty.

He is the of Chitravahana by inheritance but in real he is the dearest son of Pandavas, therefore, you may protect him always.

O chaste lady! you should not be sad. Thus telling to Chitrangada, Arjuna left for Gokarna tirtha.

This pilgrimage is the first place of lord Shiva and gives salvation only by seeing it and, where even a sinful man gets fearless place son
