“ Do you not see in front of you the great king Janashruti, who is so powerful that he can burn up his enemies by his desire?" When Bhadrashva heard the words of the other swans, he started to laugh and said, "Oh brothers, is this king Janashruti as powerful as-the great sage Raikva?" ”

“ Mathura is in the shape of a half-moon and is situated on the bank of the beautiful devotion-giving river Jamuna. In that area is the beautiful Govardhana Hill, which adds to the splendor and glory of Mathura-Mandala like a large jewel in a crown. It is surrounded by pure trees and creepers. There are twelve wonderful forests surrounding Mathura in which Lord Krishna enjoys His wonderful pastimes. ”

“ The king of Kashmir had just returned from defeating many kings, and was engaged in worshipping Lord Shiva. Due to his great devotion to Lord Shiva, that king was known as Manikeshvar. Just close to the door of the temple, sitting on a small cart, underneath a tree, Maha saw the great sage Raikva. When he recognized Raikva from the description of Janashruti, he immediately fell at his feet and inquired from him. "Oh, great sage, where do you live? And what is your full name? You are such a highly elevated person. ”
