'Resorting to this mountain along with these foremost, excellent [Gaṇas], / go where you desire, dear child, and protect the gods and the brahmins.' / Then, having dismissed that Sukeśa, the leader of the Gaṇas, / the Lord Soma disappeared while all of them were looking on. / And on that mountain, in the city resembling heaven, Sukeśa / questioned his ancestors with care concerning the true reality of the hells. / Vyāsa said: / For what purpose, O brāhmaṇa, did the leader of the Gaṇas question those ancestors? / And how did the ancestors relate it there to that wise one?
