Verses 901-1000

901. For those people who shall act according to the instructions of Nila as far as their means permit, there shall be health, (long) life and much wealth.

902-3. After death, these people will certainly go to the world of the gods. Their sons and grandsons also shall share heaven, (long) life and wealth and shall be provided with long life. There is no doubt here. All the sayings of Nila are known to you also, O king!

904-6. So having heard (all this), act thus as to bring more happiness in the world and the country. Whatever instruction of Nila has been in abeyance due to the fault of time, revive all that, O king, the giver of honour, at my saying.

If the instructions of Nila are not followed, then occur here floods, excess of rain, drought, famine, deaths, untimely death of the king, and dreadful punishments from the king.

907. The snow-fall also occurs to a great extent. So the instructions of Nila must be announced to the people repeatedly.

908. Those who aet upon them shall be endowed with cattle, grains and wealth. You, too, shall be always victorious everywhere.

909. Vaisampayana said: "Even told thus by Brhadasva, the king Gonanda restarted (only a few of the) practices which had been in abeyance due to the fault of time.

910-11. Thereafter, he was overthrown by Balabhadra at Mathura. If a king of Kasmira acts upon all the instructions of Nila, he never meets with untimely death. There never occurs any terror in that country".

912. Janamejaya (spoke): What did Gonanda - the king of Kasrmira - ask after this, when he had heard from Brhadasva, the customs to be followed by him ?"

913. Vaisampayana (said): "Having heard the sayings of Brhadasva, Gonanda - the king of Kasmira - spoke to Brhadasva, the best of the sages."

914. Gonanda spoke: "Tell me the names of those Nagas who have mainly their abodes in Kasmira. I want to hear about them."

984-85. Now, I will relate to you (the names of) the guardians of directions, in Kasmira. Know them, O chief of the kings. The Naga Bindusara is regarded to be in the eastern direction, the Naga named Srimadhaka in the southern one, and in the northern direction is stated to be the Naga Uttaramanasa ................

986-87. Thus, devoid of grief, thousands, millions and hundred millions of the Nagas dwell here, leaving aside the fear of Tarksya. Amongst the Nagas who have been mentioned by me, one (Naga) Sadangula was banished by Nila - possessed of unlimited lustre.

994. The bird (i. e. Garuda) used to attack and eat up hundreds and thousands of his sons, dependants and dependants of his dependants.

995. When his people were being thus devoured, the Naga Mahapadma came quickly to the refuge of the great Naga Nila.

996. He asked, O king, for a habitation in Kasmira. Then Nila spoke thus to the Naga Mahapadma.

997. "O best among the Bhujagas, all the Nagas have made their abodes here. There is no place (left) where you may dwell, O best among the Naga-chiefs.

998. O Naga, the lord of undying ones, I do not see even a little space which has not been thus fully occupied by the Nagas.

999. Moreover, you are surrounded by a big family But at this time, the beautiful territory of Sadangula is vacant.

1000. The Naga Sadangula has been banished by me from that place, because he, formerly, used to carry away the wives of men, daily.
