and likewise Āṅgirasa, Bārhaspatya, and Bhāradvāja. // 22
The goddess is Kṣemalā, and also Dhārabhaṭṭārikā; / the third gotra mother is declared to be Kṣemalā in order. // 23
Those born in this gotra are always devoted to the five sacrifices; / they are greedy, wrathful, and produce many offspring; // 24
devoted to ritual ablution, gift-giving, and the like, with senses always subdued, / builders of stepwells, wells, and tanks by the thousands. // 25
Thus ends the fortieth settlement. // 40
Bodhaṇī is a supreme settlement, holy and destroying sin; / the two gotras are Kuśa and Kauśika. // 26
Viśvāmitra is the first, Devarāta, and Dala; / and likewise Viśvāmitra, Aghamarṣaṇa, and Kauśika. // 27
Yakṣiṇī is the first [goddess], and Tāraṇī is the second; / those born in this gotra are weak and faint-hearted, // 28
brahmins who speak untruth, greedy, O best of kings, / [yet] skilled in all sciences, brahmins who are the best among the knowers of Brahman. // 29
Thus ends the forty-first settlement. // 41
And Chatroṭā is an exalted settlement, worshipped by all the world; / the Kuśa gotra is declared, with three pravaras: // 30
Viśvāmitra, Devarāta, and the third is Dala; / and the goddess here is Cacāī, proclaimed as the gotra-deity. // 31
Those born in this lineage are devoted to the Vedas and Śāstras; / those brahmins are very prosperous, promoters of the path of justice. // 32
Thus ends the forty-second settlement. // 42
Khala is the settlement here, the forty-third; / the brahmins born of the Vatsa gotra are promoters of agriculture. // 33
The gotra goddess is Jñānajā, and the pravaras are five: / Bhārgava, Cyavana, Āpnavāna, Aurva, and Jāmadagnya. // 34
The brahmins born in this gotra faithfully attend to the Śrauta fires, / are accustomed to Vedic study, ascetics, destroyers of foes, // 35
irritable, greedy, cheerful, engaged in sacrificing and conducting sacrifices.
