"Yamuna, Bhimasena, Krishna, O scourge of foes, and all of us will go there, worn thin and strict in tapas. Here is the sacred spring of Indra, lord of men, where Dhata, Vidhata, and Varuna ascended on high. Here they dwelt, O king, patient and supremely righteous; this is the fair and finest mountain of the friendly and upright-minded. Here is that Yamuna, O king, served by hosts of royal sages, marked by many sacrifices, holy, removing the fear of sin. Here the great archer King Mandhatri himself performed sacrifice, as did Sahadeva Kaunteya and Somaka, best of givers."

The path to the Yamuna leads through the memory of kings, but its outcome remains purification. Here the greatness of a ruler is defined not by power over people, but by the trace of sacrifice he leaves behind.
