TRANSLATION
While He was passing in the northern direction, all the celestial denizens
known as Caranas and Gandharvas, as well as the munis and the damsels of
the heavenly planets, prayed and offered Him all respects. The ocean
offered Him oblations and a place of residence.
PURPORT
It is understood that Kapila Muni first went towards the Himalayas and
traced the course of the River Ganges, and He again came to the delta of
the Ganges at the sea now known as the Bay of Bengal. The ocean gave
Him residence at a place still known as Ganga-sagara, where the River
Ganges meets the sea. That place is called Ganga-sagara Tirtha, and even
today people gather there to offer respects to Kapiladeva, the original
author of the sankhya system of philosophy. Unfortunately, this sankhya
system has been misrepresented by an imposter who is also named Kapila,
but that other system of philosophy does not tally with anything described
in the sankhya of Kapila in the Grain Bhdgeouem,
