After learning the purāṇa, Lomaharṣaṇa became humbler. He became extremely intelligent and virtuous. He was approached and questioned by a sage like you (?) (regarding matters of mythology etc.) He had the most excellent self-control. Along with (the other) sages, he used to bow down to the sages after circumambulating them. He was endowed with great devotion. After acquiring learning, he became satisfied and went to Kurukṣetra. He (humbly) approached the pure sages who were performing the elaborate-sacrificial session.
