11. There are some that follow the usages, according to the true sense of the Vedas, and take their food from what is left after their daily offerings to the sacrificial fire. (The early Aryans ever fed upon cooked food, after their first offerings to the gods by their mouth of the fire (_Agner vaidevanam Mukham_)). 12. All men belonging to any of the four classes, are employed in the observance of their respective rites and duties, and in the acts of the worship of the gods, and in their meditations with different ends and views (Kamya-karma). 13. Some men of magnanimous minds, and higher aims of future liberation or _Moksha_, have renounced all their ritual acts _karma kánda_; and remain inactive as ignorant people, with their spiritual knowledge of the only One. 14. Some are seen to be sitting silent and insensitive, in their posture of deep and unbroken meditation; in dreary and dismal deserts untraversed by the deer and wild beasts; and in distant and lovely solitudes, where no trace of a human being was never seen even in a dream. 15. Some are found to resort to some sacred place of pilgrimage, and there to perform their acts for future rewards; while others are known to recline in some holy hermitage or sacred shrine of saints, and there to pass their lives in the practice of resignation and indifference and quite unknown to men. 16. Many are seen to leave their own houses, and quit their native countries, in order to avoid the enmity and scorn of their fellow countrymen; and betake themselves to other lands, where they settle as strangers. 17. There are many who being dissatisfied with their families, forsake their company and desert their homes; and rove about as wanderers, from forest to forest, over hills and dales, and cities and towns, without being settled any where. 18. How many are there that travel to the great city of Benares, and to the holy city of Allahabad and visit the holy hills and cities, and the sacred shrine of Badarikásrama (for performance of their acts of righteousness there). 19. How many are seen to resort <to> the holy places at Sálagrama, and to the sacred cell in Kalapagráma, how many are on their way to the holy city of Mathura, and the sacred hill at Kalinjar. 20. See the numbers of pilgrims thronging in the woodlands on Mahendra mountains, and upon table lands of Gandhamádana hills; see also the pilgrims on the plains of Dardura hills; as those also upon the level lands of Sahya Mountains. 21. See the pilgrims thronging on the craigs of the Vindhyan range, and those dwelling in the hollows of the Malaya Mountains; see them that dwell in the happy groves of Kailása, and those in the caverns of Rikshavata mounts. 22. In these as well as many other holy places and mounts, you will find a great many hermits and far-sighted devotees dwelling in peace, and wholly devoted to their holy devotion.
