Those known as Agnisvâtta pitris (because they performed great sacrifices to fire, \*i.e.\*, Agni), reside there where these sacrificers dwell, and the river Achchhodâ is their Mânasa daughter. In days of yore, the stream Achchhodâ was brought into existence by Pitṛis. Achchhodâ practised penance for one thousand years.—1-3. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 13.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.13.63) - [Next: 14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.14.2) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.14) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.14.p1) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.14.1) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.9.11) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Matsya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.samhita.matsya.13.1) — Sanskrit - [Ancient Indian Historical Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.pargiter-1922.c10.84) — F.
