There in that place, O virtuous one, is a well, capable of destroying every sin. The four seas are ever present in that well. He that bathes in it, O king, will have immunity from misfortune. Bathing then in Jatismara, with pure mind and subdued senses, one acquireth, without doubt, the recollections of his former life.
