“Who is it that despising my asceticism summons me by name? Who is despising my age of a thousand divine years? Even if you are Devas you ought not to behave with me in this way, Brahmâ even calls me longlived Who is it that after practising rigid penances and leaving all hopes of life courts his destruction by addressing me by my name?’—38-40
