Fire quickly spoke to that king of the Asuras these words: “Come out swiftly, Maya!”
Taking a golden liṅga of the Great Lord, departing from the city, the Asura-lord Maya
swiftly entered Pātāla, rejoicing, paying homage to the beloved of Umā.
Nandīśvara too, having approached the side of the Lord of Gods and reported [everything], remained there.
