175.71

evamastviti tāṃ gṛhya praṇamya munipuṃgavam
jagāma tridivaṃ hṛṣṭaḥ kṛtārtho dānaveśvaraḥ //

Ūrva said—‘I am gratified, because I have now become your preceptor I have now no fear of danger on account of my asceticism You should also embrace the Mâyâ created by my son, who, though without any fuel is more violent than Pâvaka the ordinary fire This Mâyâ will protect your family and destroy your enemies and will be unbearable to the adversary’ Hearing those words the demon Hiraṇyakaśyapu embracing her (Mâyâ) went to heaven after bowing to Ūrva Muni very much gratified—68-71 The mighty Mâyâ, created by Aurva the son of the sage Ūrva, was unbearable even by the Devas—72
