> Udbhrama and Saṃbhrama shall be your two attendant gaṇas;  
> by your command, they will cause wandering and perplexity to the world.”  
> Sanatkumāra said:  
> Having thus made the yakṣa the lord of the gaṇas, O Vyāsa,  
> the divine Lord, the lord of gods, returned to his abode along with him.  
> Then, looking at the goddess, the god of gods whose emblem is the bull,  
> spoke in order to grant a boon to Mandara, who was performing austerity.  
> The god of gods said:  
> “O goddess with eyes like blossoming lotuses, O slender-waisted lady, I shall go  
> to Mandara, the foremost of mountains, wishing to confer the boon of grace.  
> Together with his wife, his sons, and his friends,  
> Mandara, the best of mountains, the foremost of ascetics, has taken refuge in me.
