c5.s4.38.8

Yayāti went to a hermitage on the confluence of the Gaṅgā and Yamunā, taking Mādhavī, Pūru, and Yadu with him, desirous of again disposing of his daughter in a svayaṃvara. There was assembled a vast concourse of N., Y., G., men, etc., and numerous Rṣis resembling Brahmān himself. Mādhavī selected the forest as her lord, practised tapas, and adopted a deer's mode of life (mṛgacāriṇī). King Yayāti died after having lived for many thousands of years. The progeny of Pūru and Yadu multiplied greatly. Yayāti, resembling a maharshi, enjoyed the highest bliss in heaven for many thousands of years. On one occasion, while seated among the Rājarshis and Maharshis, king Yayāti mentally disregarded all the gods and Rṣis and men. Indra at once read his heart; the dwellers of heaven did not longer know him, and he was soon divested of his splendour (V, 120). For continuation v. Yayāti (§ 566).
