17. Below that (*Atala*), in the region of *Vitala* the glorious god Hara called Hatakesvara (the ruler of gold, or the lord of gold)

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam

shines surrounded by his retinue *viz.*, hosts of *Bhutas* and for the purpose of developing the creation of progenitors, the god *Bhava* (Siva) with his consort remains exemplifying the house-holder's life; and from this region a great river called Hataki issues charged with the energy of god Siva and his consort; here the Fire (naturally) kindled by the wind, absorbs by his force the water of that river and from it (Fire) issues gold called Hataka; and it is worn in the form of ornaments by both men and women in the harems of the great Asuras.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
