In the Harivamsha Purana,
The Lord, worshipped by the celestial beings, reached the forest named Siddhartha, covered with Ashoka, Champa, Saptaparna, mango and banyan trees. || 92 ||
The one seeking Siddhi (liberation), descended from the palanquin, just as he had descended from the Sarvarthasiddhi Vimana, situated on the peak of the celestial realm. || 93 ||
Then, the Lord said to the people, "O people, give up sorrow, for the union of beings, even with their own bodies, is for separation." || 94 ||
"I have appointed the very capable Bharat for your protection. Always serve him, who is devoted to his Dharma, and he is worthy of your service." || 95 ||
Having said this, the people worshipped the Lord. The place where the people worshipped the Lord, became known as Prayaga, due to the purpose of worship. || 96 ||
After inquiring from his relatives and the humble king, the Lord renounced both internal and external attachments and embraced austerity. || 97 ||
Indra, with five fists, plucked the hair from the Lord's head and placed them in a mortar, thinking, "These were worn on the Lord's head." With great respect, he threw them into the ocean of milk. || 98 ||
Upon the occurrence of the Diksha Kalyanak, all the gods and demons worshipped the Lord and went to their respective places. Similarly, the humans, filled with anxiety, also went to their respective places after paying their respects. || 99 ||
At that time, four thousand great, devoted kings, belonging to the Ikshvaku, Kuru, Ugra and Bhoj dynasties, also embraced the naked initiation. || 100 ||
The Lord, who endured the Pariṣahas, was a great ascetic, possessed four kinds of knowledge, and was as steadfast as a mountain, remained silent for six months, undergoing Kayotsarga. || 101 ||
Similarly, those other kings, who did not know the ultimate truth, but only wished to act according to the Lord's will, remained steadfast, undergoing Kayotsarga. || 102 ||
When their souls were tormented by hunger and thirst, they thought, "Our servants, sons, or wives will bring us food today or tomorrow." || 103 ||
