ततः प्रवृत्ताः पुण्योदा नद्यः कुरुकुलोद्वह । सहस्राणां शतान्येव यतो वर्षति वासवः॥६-१२-३१॥
From there flow rivers bearing sanctifying waters, O upholder of the Kuru line—by the hundreds of thousands—where Vāsava (Indra) sends rain.
english translation
न तासां नामधेयानि परिमाणं तथैव च । शक्यते परिसंख्यातुं पुण्यास्ता हि सरिद्वराः॥६-१२-३२॥
Neither their names nor their measures can be fully enumerated; for those excellent rivers are indeed sanctifying.
english translation
तत्र पुण्या जनपदाश्चत्वारो लोकसंमताः । मगाश्च मशकाश्चैव मानसा मन्दगास्तथा॥६-१२-३३॥
There are four sanctified regions there, approved by common report: the Magas, the Maśakas, the Mānasas, and likewise the Mandagas.
english translation
मगा ब्राह्मणभूयिष्ठाः स्वकर्मनिरता नृप । मशकेषु तु राजन्या धार्मिकाः सर्वकामदाः॥६-१२-३४॥
The Magas are predominantly brāhmaṇa-like and devoted to their own duties, O king. Among the Maśakas, the rājanya class is dharmic and provides all desired goods.
english translation
मानसेषु महाराज वैश्याः कर्मोपजीविनः । सर्वकामसमायुक्ताः शूरा धर्मार्थनिश्चिताः । शूद्रास्तु मन्दगे नित्यं पुरुषा धर्मशीलिनः॥६-१२-३५॥
Among the Mānasas, O great king, the vaiśyas live by their occupations; they possess all necessities, are courageous, and are resolved upon dharma and artha. In Mandaga, the śūdras are always persons of dharmic conduct.
