Lomasha said: 'Here, O king, Prajapati himself once performed a thousand-year sattra called Ishtikrita. Ambarisha Nabhaga performed sacrifice along the Yamuna, and through sacrifices as well as austerity attained the highest perfection. This, O king, is the most sacred ground of Nahusha's sacrifices, where, having performed the sacrifice, he released ten padmas to the participants. Look, Kaunteya — here is the sacrificial site of the all-powerful Yayati, immeasurably mighty, who rivaled Shakra. Behold the earth covered with fires of every kind: it seems to sink, weighed down by Yayati's sacrificial deeds. There is that shami tree with a single leaf, there the excellent sharaka; behold these lakes of Rama, behold the ashram of Narayana. This, lord of the earth, is in Raupya, the place of retreat of the immeasurably mighty son of Archika, who wandered the earth by the power of yoga.'
