He related: "The \*rājarshi\* Indradyumna, who had fullen from heaven, complained that his fame must have passed away, and asked me if I recognized him; as I did not, he became a horse and carried me to the \*Himavat\* to the owl \*Prāvākarṇa\*, who was older than I; the owl we took to the lake \*Indradyumna\* to the crane \*Nāḍijaṅgha\*, who was older than the owl; the crane indicated us the tortoise \*Akūpāra\* in the same lake. \*Akūpāra\* knew \*Indradyumna\*, and said that \*Indradyumna\* had planted the \*yūpa\* 1,000 times, and that this lake had been excavated by the feet of the cows given away by him to the brahmans. Then a chariot came from heaven, and a celestial voice called \*Indradyumna\* back to heaven (\*vv. 13343-5, three çlokas are cited; v. 13343: 'The report of a virtuous deed reaches heaven and earth; as long as that report is heard, so long is the doer said to be in heaven').\* He first brought me and the owl to our respective places, and then went away in that chariot." The Pāṇḍavas praised \*Mārkaṇḍeya\* for having caused \*Indradyumna\* to regain his sphere; he said that \*Kṛṣṇa\* also had raised the \*rājarshi\* Nrga from hell and cansed him to regain heaven (III, 199). - [Previous: c5.s6.119](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.119) - [Next: c5.s6.121](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.121) - [Up: c5.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.120](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s6.120) · Pramāṇa
