ततः समुद्रे तीर्थानि दक्षिणे भरतर्षभः ॥
अभ्यगच्छत् सुपुण्यानि शोभितानि तपस्विभिः ॥
वर्जयन्ति स्म तीर्थानि पञ्च तत्र तु तापसाः ॥
आचीर्णानि तु यान्य् आसन् पुरस्तात् तु तपस्विभिः ॥
अगस्त्यतीर्थं सौभद्रं पौलोमं च सुपावनम् ॥
कारंधमं प्रसन्नं च हयमेधफलं च यत् ॥
भारद्वाजस्य तीर्थं च पापप्रशमनं महत् ॥

Vaishampayana said: "Then to the tirthas on the southern sea, bull of the Bharatas, he came - most sacred, adorned by ascetics; but the ascetics there avoided five tirthas, formerly visited: the tirtha of Agastya, Saubhadra, the most sacred Paulomi, clear Karandhama, granting the fruit of the ashvamedha, and the tirtha of Bharadvaja, the great purifier from sin."

Here holy places, once renowned, now lie abandoned because of calamity. It is significant that tirthas which purify from sin are forsaken by ascetics: even a sacred place can become inaccessible when evil has seized it. What is good needs defense against the evil that assails it. Thus the scripture reveals the desolation of holy places; and Arjuna is destined to restore them to the ascetics.
