vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca |
svargataḥ sa tu rājendro nivasandevasadmani |
pūjitastridaśaiḥ sādhyairmarudbhirvasubhistathā || 1 ||

"Vaisampayana said, 'While that king of kings dwelt in heaven--the home of the celestials, he was reverenced by the gods, the Sadhyas, the Maruts, and the Vasus. Of sacred deeds, and mind under complete control, the monarch used to repair now and then from the abode of the celestials unto the region of Brahman. And it hath been heard by me that he dwelt for a long time in heaven.
