90. In the description of the māhātmya of Cakra tīrtha created by the Discus-bearer: Brahmā goes near Viṣṇu upon seeing the gods conquered by the Dānava Tālamegha; hearing the praise offered by the gods, the Blessed One grants an assurance of safety to the gods; then in the battle between Viṣṇu and Tālamegha, there is the mutual hurling of weapons and missiles; then the Blessed One cuts off Tālamegha's head with his discus; seeing that discus of the Blessed One fallen into the waters of the Narmadā, a tīrtha is created there; the fame of that tīrtha under the name Cakra tīrtha, another name being Jalaśāyin; description of the māhātmya of the specific rules for ritual ablutions, gifts, and the like there.
