Opening his eyes he saw the sky enveloped in radiance, illuminating the ten directions and completely covering the sun. Bringing them again and again — his own pupils, his father's pupils, the company of his brothers and his kinsmen — he performed various mantras (over them). (He saw) lightning, Indra's bow (the rainbow), the sun, the fair radiance of the sun, fresh meat, a live fish, a conch, and gold. Knowing all this to be auspicious, he set out filled with joy, when the sun had set, near the bank of the Narmadā. There he saw a divine, most lovely undying banyan tree, spread very high aloft, a supreme and most holy hermitage-site. Ripe fruit, milk, hot food mixed with sugar, and a svastika, and himself having eaten — this he saw again and again. A row of cranes, a row of geese, a row of maidens keeping a vow, worshipping a bright water-jar — Bhṛgu saw (these) in his dream. And, Nārada, of yellow-coloured birds and of human beings — Rāma (Bhṛgu) delighted, ate the flesh in the dream at the break of dawn.
