Translation
Maitreya said: At Manu’s place called Brahmāvarta where the Sarasvatī River turns east, Pṛthu prepared to perform a hundred horse sacrifices. The Nineteenth Chapter describes how Indra, stealing the sacrificial horse, created heretics, and how Brahmā stopped the priests from killing him. The place made by the devatās between the Sarasvatī and Dṛśadvatī Rivers is called Brahmāvarta. Haya-medha-śatena means “for the purpose of performing a hundred horse sacrifices.”
