How do you then extol the greatness of Prayâga only and leave the rest. I feel it difficult to put my faith in your words, which seem to me to be not good without any proof. How does one attain emancipation, virtues and various kinds of happiness by residing there for a few days only? Pray do remove my doubts, from what you have seen and heard.—3-5. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 109.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.109.2) - [Next: 109.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.109.4) - [Up: 109](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.109) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.109.p2) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.109.3) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (4) - [Critical edition (BORI)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*crit.3.81.173) — Sanskrit - [History of Dharmaśāstra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India)](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.kane-1930.v5.c74.45) — P.
