Rudra said: / "O highly fortunate Upamanyu, behold me, freed from feverish anxiety. / Decide in your mind and state a boon, so that I may grant it to you." / Sanatkumāra said: / Then, beholding the lord of gods and bowing with his head, / he, bowed low, spoke words, resolving in his mind: / "O Lord, if you are pleased, you who are ever worshipped by hosts of suras, / grant me what I say, O Īśāna; homage to you! / Without relying upon any worldly or divine substance, / may I eat milk-rice presented to me without begging." / The god of gods said: / "Here [in this world], nothing exists for anyone without relying [on something], O best of brahmins. / Having made even a blade of grass your support, speak therefore, O great sage." / Upamanyu said: / "I rely on nothing at all, O Lord, by your grace. / For that purpose was this undertaking; therefore grant what was requested!" / The god of gods said: "O sage, without relying on anything, there is no milk-rice for you." / Having said this to him, Mahādeva vanished right there.
