He ruled the Earth for eightyfive thousand years. He was world Emperor and had a treasury full of gems. He was the protector of cattle of fields; he was the giver of rain like thunder-cloud and the defender of the faith, and through his asceticism became illustrious. He looked as beautiful as the thousand-rayed autumnal sun, at the time of his twanging his bow with his thousands arms. He founded the city of Mâhiṣmatî, after conquering the Nâga King, son of Karkotaka. That city was laved by the waves of the ocean during the rains wherein the king played in the waves, as it ebbed and flowed in the beach.—26-30. When he agitated the waters of the river in his gambols, the Narmadâ, trembling with fear at his sight and becoming highly astonished, surrendered herself to him. He alone, with his thousand arms, swelled it by putting the water of the sea into it and increased it, as it increases in the monsoon; and the ocean being thus agitated by his thousand arms became subdued by him, and he extended his sea power, so that the residents in Pâtâla (antipodes) became inoffensive and quiet.—31-33.
