> 'This hill of sugar is known as the essence of prosperity and nectar; therefore, let thou be the source of everlasting bliss to me, O Lord of hills. O, mount of sugar! the drops of nectar that fell from the Devas when they were quaffing it, produced thee, O sugar, therefore, protect me. The sugar has also been generated from the floral arrows of Cupid, thou art the mount of the very same sugar; therefore, save me from this sea of troubles in the world.'—10-12.
