Now a certain guest once arrived at his abode, who was acquainted with the powers of various medicinal herbs, and skilled in the magic art. Now being requested by the former, whose mind was purified by faith, he described to him both countries and charming towns, forests, rivers,[3] and mountains, and holy sanctuaries. Then the former filled with astonishment said to that best of brāhmans, “In that thou hast seen many countries thou art not worn with excessive toil, thou art not very old in life, nor hast thou long passed thy youth; how dost thou roam the earth in a short time, O brāhman?”

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
