"Entering upon this path of the gods, he arrives at the world of Agni, he [arrives at] the world of Vāyu, he at the world of Varuṇa, he at the world of Indra, he at the world of Prajāpati, he at the world of Brahman. Of that world of Brahman, there is the lake Āra, the moments Yaṣṭihās, the river Vijarā, the tree Ilya, the city Sālajya, the abode Aparājita, Indra and Prajāpati the door-keepers, the hall Vibhu, the throne Vicakṣaṇā, the couch Amitaujas, the beloved [mind] Mānasī and her reflection Cākṣuṣī, who, taking flowers, weave the worlds, and the Apsarases Ambās and Ambāyavīs, and the rivers Ambayās. To that [world] he who knows thus arrives. To him Brahman says: 'Run to meet him with my glory! Truly he has reached the river Vijarā; never indeed will he grow old.'"
