Having entered upon this Path of the Gods (Devayāna), he reaches the world of Fire (Agni-loka).
From there he reaches the world of Air (Vāyu-loka).
Then the world of Varuṇa (Varuṇa-loka).
Then the world of the Sun (Āditya-loka).
Then the world of Indra (Indra-loka).
Then the world of Prajāpati (Prajāpati-loka).
Then he reaches the world of Brahman (Brahma-loka).
In that Brahma-loka are:
— The Lake Āra,
— The Moments called Muhūrtas,
— The River Virajā,
— The Ilya Tree,
— The Sālajya Abode,
— The Invincible Sanctuary (Aparājita),
— Indra and Prajāpati as gatekeepers,
— The Hall called Vibhupramita,
— The Throne called Vicakṣaṇā,
— The Couch called Amitaujas.
There are also:
— Priyā and Mānasī,
— Pratirūpā and Cākṣuṣī,
— The flower-bearers,
— The celestial maidens Ambā and Ambāyavī,
— And the Apsarās.
To these places comes the one who knows thus.
When he arrives, Brahmā himself hastens toward him and says:
"He has reached the River Virajā and crossed beyond old age. He has attained My glory."
