3.24.18

eṣa mānavi te garbhaṃ praviṣṭaḥ kaiṭabhārdanaḥ /
avidyā-saṃśaya-granthiṃ chittvā gāṃ vicariṣyati //

17 and 18. O Manavi, He is Hari the slayer of Kaitabha having golden hair, lotus-like eyes and lotus-like feet bearing the figure of a lotus; He came into thy womb for pulling out the roots of Karma by means of Sastraic knowledge and direct realisation, [The Lord will impart to Asuri the Sankhya-knowledge obscured by time,] and He will range the earth cutting the knot of the heart (Avidya or nescience).
