The soul encounters these two rivers on the way to Yamlok
Yamlok Marg has also been mentioned in Garuda Purana. It has been told that after death the soul goes to Yampuri. Two rivers Vaitarani river and Pushpodka river fall on the way to Yampuri.

Very dangerous is the river Styx
The Vairatani river falling on the way to Yamlok is very dangerous. According to Garuda Purana, blood and pus flow in this river, which the sinful soul has to cross. The person who does good deeds or does rituals for his family members, that soul easily crosses this river. But seeing the sinful soul, this river becomes even more furious. Such people who do not perform rituals of their relatives, they have to struggle a lot to cross this river.
Although there is a boat to cross the river, but the boat is steered by ghost souls, who ask the soul about their good deeds. The souls who do good deeds in their life or whose relatives donate a cow, make them cross the river by making them sit in a ghost boat. But those who do not have any account of the charity done in their life, Yamdoots pull them over the river by trapping a thorn in their nose. This is the reason that the importance of donating a cow and doing virtuous deeds has been explained in the Hindu religious scriptures.
Souls rest in Pushpodka river
It has been told in Garuda Purana that Pushpodaka river is also found on the way to Yampuri.
