Note 1 — Chapter III
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
It came to pass in the course of time, that one day, when the reading of the Vedas was finished, the teacher Varsha, who had performed his daily ceremonies, was asked by us, “How comes it that such a city as this has become the home of Sarasvatí and Lakshmí,1 tell us that, O teacher.” Hearing this, he bade us listen, for that he was about to tell the history of the city.
