Next came out the Goddess Lakṣmî, wearing white raiments followed by Surâ Devı, after whom was obtained the horse Uchaiśrava, later on came the precious dıvıne Kaustubha gem, necktarlike, cheering which Viṣnu took it and placed on His chest. Afterwards came out the charming Pârıjâta flower shrub with bunches of golden flowers. Shortly after the Devas and the demons found the sky covered with smoke which gradually spread in every dırection and caused terrible headache to everyone making them senseless and lıe down. They all sat down on the coast holding their heads. In the meantime that smoke turned out to be the unbearable Bârabânala (conflagration) by the heat of which many Devas and demons were singed and began to run about in all dırections, after it Dundubha snakes, various kinds of red and black snakes, living on air alone, came forth. Also came out serpents with long teeth, red-coloured snakes, snakes living on air alone, also white, yellow and variously coloured snakes, also snakes came out of Gnasa class.—3-10
