jananyatha dilīpasya bhagīrathapitāmahī
lokāḥ kāmadughā nāma kāmabhogaphalapradāḥ //

"In the Solar world, there are regions called Marîchigarbhas, where Haviṣmâna Pitṛis, the sons of Aṅgirâ, reside. Kṣatriyas performing Śrâddha in a holy place go to the same region, and that is why Haviṣmâna Pitṛis are worshipped by Kṣatriyas. Yaśodâ was the mânasa daughter of Haviṣmâna Pitṛis. She was married to King Aṁśumâna and was the daughter-in-law of Pañchajanâ, mother of Dilîpa, and grandmother of Bhagîratha.—16-19.

"There are other regions known as Kâmadughas, where reside the pious Pitṛis, called Susvada as well as Âjyapâ in the region of Prajâpati Kardarma. They are the sons of Pulaha and are worshipped by the Vaiśyas. The worshippers of these Pitṛis, by performing śrâddha, go to the same region where they see the manes of their deceased ancestors, mother, father, sister, friends, relations, etc." Virajâ was the mânasa daughter of Âjyapâ Pitṛis and was the queen of King Nahuṣa and the mother of Yayâti. She was afterwards known as Ekaṣṭakâ in Brahmaloka.—20-24.
