tasya buddhiriyaṃ tvāsīdahaṃ paśye vasundharām /
atiramyavanodyānāṃ nānānagaraśobhitām //

There lived a certain brāhman eminent among the dvijas in the town Aruṇāspada on the bank of the Varuṇā; and he surpassed the Asvins[2] in beauty of form. He was gentle in disposition, upright in conduct, he had studied all the Vedas and Vedāṅgas; always gracious to guests, he was the refuge of all persons who arrived at night. Now he had this intention, “I will see the earth which has most charming forests and gardens, and is embellished with many a town.”

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
