Sanskrit Original
नैष्ठिकं व्रतमास्थाय रुद्रलोकाय ते गताः। द्वाविंशे परिवर्ते तु व्यासः शुष्मायणो यदा।।
naiṣṭhikaṃ vratamāsthāya rudralokāya te gatāḥ| dvāviṃśe parivarte tu vyāsaḥ śuṣmāyaṇo yadā||
Sūta said: In the twenty-second cycle when Śuṣmāyaṇa becomes a Vyāsa, I shall be born as a great sage by the name of Lāṅgalin the terrible, at Vārāṇasī[20]. There the Devas including lord Indra will see me in the Kali age as Bhava and Halāyudha. There too my virtuous sons will be known as Bhallavī, Madhupiṅga, Śvetaketu and Kuśa. After attaining the yoga of Maheśvara they will be engaged in meditation. Free from impurities and identical with Brahman they will enter Rudra’s world.
