In Kohe the brahmins are declared as endowed with three gotras: / Bhāradvāja, Vatsa, and Kuśa as the third.
I shall declare their pravaras in the order of the gotras: / Bhārgava, Cyavana, Āpnavāna, Aurva, and Jāmadagni likewise.
The third is the Kuśa pravara consisting of three pravara-seers: / Viśvāmitra, Devarāta, and Udala as the third.
Yakṣiṇī is declared as the first, and Śīhurī as the second; / Cacāī is declared as the third, in order of gotra origins.
The wise brahmins born in this gotra are devoted to Vedic and Smārta rites, / accustomed to Vedic study, practitioners of austerity, destroyers of foes,
wrathful, greedy, wicked, engaged in sacrificing for themselves and sacrificing for others; / all devoted to brahmanic rites—these best of twice-born have been described by me.
Thus is the thirteenth location. (13)
Those born in Cāṃdaṇakheḍa originate from the Bhāradvāja [gotra]: / Āṅgirasa, Bārhaspatya, and Bhāradvāja as the third;
and Yakṣiṇī was declared as his goddess by the wise Vyāsa. / Those born as Bhāradvājas are twice-born embodying the Absolute,
tranquil, self-restrained, well-behaved, endowed with wealth and sons; / the best of twice-born in Dharmāraṇya, skilled in ritual sacrifices,
all devoted to devotion to their gurus, they illuminate their own family.
Thus is the fourteenth location. (14)
Those born in Thala village originate from the Bhāradvāja [gotra]: / Āṅgirasa, Bārhaspatya, and Bhāradvāja as the third.
The brahmins born in this gotra are wealthy and auspicious, / endowed with fine clothes and ornaments, devoted to the worship of twice-born [brahmins],
all fond of feeding brahmins, all devoted to righteousness. / The gotra goddess was declared by me, Yakṣiṇī named the Protectress.
Thus is the fifteenth location. (15)
Those born as Moūtrīyā—two gotras are declared there: / Bhāradvāja and Kaśyapa, and two goddesses as well;
Cāmuṇḍā and Yakṣiṇī are declared as the goddesses here.
