On receiving Atriís command, Bharata despatched (ahead of himself) all the
vessels containing the holy water and himself repaired with his younger brother
(›atrughna) and the sage Atri and other hermits and holy men to the well, which was
fathomless in its depth, and deposited the holy water in that sacred place. Transported
with joy the sage Atri lovingly spoke thus: ìThis place has brought success to the striver
from time without beginning; having been obscured by time it was known to none. My
servants marked this soil as rich in subterranean springs of water and dug a big well
in it with a view to securing good water. By a decree of Providence the whole world
has been benefited (by dropping in this well the water from holy places) and the idea
of religious merit (accruing from a bath in this well), which was most incomprehensible
(to the ordinary intellect) has become easily intelligible to all. People will now call it by the
name of Bharatakµupa (a well sacred to the memory of Bharata). Its sanctity has been
inhanced because water from all holy places has been mixed into it. People who take
a plunge into it with devotion and with due ceremony will become pure in thought, word
and deed. (1ó4)

Telling one another the glory of the well all returned to the hermitage of ›r∂ Råma,
the Lord of Raghus; and the sage Atri pointed out to the Chief of Raghus the purifying
power of that holy place. (310)

The night was pleasantly spent in narrating sacred legends with love till it was
dawn. Having finished their daily morning routine and receiving the permission of ›r∂
