sa etaṃ devayānaṃ panthānam āpadyāgnilokam āgacchati /

3. Having entered upon this Devayāna (‘Leading-to-the-gods’) path, he comes to the world of Agni (Fire), then to the world of Vāyu (Wind), then to the world of Varuṇa, then to the world of Indra, then to the world of Prajāpati, then to the world of Brahma. This Brahma-world, verily, has the lake Āra, the moments Yeshṭiha, the river Vijarā (‘Ageless’), the tree Ilya, the city Sālajya, the abode Aparājita (‘Unconquered’), the two door-keepers Indra and Prajāpati, the hall Vibhu (‘Extensive’), the throne Vicakshaṇā (‘Far-shining’), the couch Amitaujas (‘Of Unmeasured Splendor’), and the beloved Mānasī (‘Mental’), and her counterpart Cākshushī (‘Visual’), both of whom, taking flowers, verily weave the worlds, and the Apsarases (Nymphs), Ambās (‘Mothers’) and Ambāyavīs (‘Nurses’), and the rivers Ambayā (‘Little Mothers’). To it comes he who knows this. To him Brahma says: ‘Run ye to him! With my glory, verily, he has reached the river Vijarā (‘Ageless’). He, verily, will not grow old.’
