Surcharged, as it were, with the scent of Dhupas, and filled with the fragrance of flowers, that region, sacred to the deity of deities, O king, became highly delightful. Having performed the adoration of Rudra and of all the Ganas, the king, placing Vyasa ahead went towards the place where the treasure was buried. Once more adoring the Lord of riches, and bowing to hiin with respect and saluting himn properly, with various kinds of flowers and cakes and Krishara, having adored those foremost of gems, viz., Shankha and Nidhi and those Yakshas who are the lords of gems, and having adored many foremost of Brahmanas and caused them to utter blessings, the king gifted with great power, strengthened by the energy and the auspicious benedictions of those Brahmanas, caused that spot to be excavated. Then numerous vessels of various and delightful forms, Bhringaras, Katahas, Kalasas, Bardhamanakas, and innumerable Bhajanas of beautiful forms, were dug out by king Yudhishthira the just, The wealth thus dug out was placed in large has Karaput (wooden chests united with each other by chains or cords, and carried by bullocks or camels) for protection.
