"From you I desire neither the state of Viṣṇu nor the state of Indra, O Grandfather. / Go, O ruler of all the gods! Do not exert yourself in vain."
Sanatkumāra said:
Thus spoken to by that brahmin-seer, the lord of the gods, the Lord, / then spoke words to him again on the spot for the sake of [offering] a boon. / Upamanyu, however, fixing his mind unwaveringly on Īśāna, / became silent, and the God also vanished right there.
