"The fire, the sun, the organ of generation, water, the goddess, the seed of Vishnu, nectar and the navel of nectar. The god of fire is the organ that generated you (ocean). The earth is your body. Vishnu gave the seed that caused your being. You are the navel of nectar." O son of Pandu, you must recite the above words of truth and as you recite you must quickly ascend this altar. O Pandava, thus, these words of truth must be audibly recited; and while thus reciting them, one must plunge into this lord of rivers (ocean).
