Smiling, the Self of all, the creator of all, spoke words:
The God of gods said:
"I am not angry; you are forever very dear to me. / If I were angry, in the next moment there would be no life for you."
Sanatkumāra said:
Having spoken thus, the god then, wishing the welfare of the gods, / caused all those gods to enter through yogamāyā,
into his own body, Mahādeva, in order to astonish them with his power. / Then they entered the body of the noble Īśvara.
They saw a wondrous universe endowed with seven worlds. / Having wandered through all those worlds, all filled with fear,
having gathered there, they saw the heroic Gaṇapa Pañcākṣa. / By him all those tigers among gods, unwearied, were cast upwards,
and having arrived in another world in an instant, / those fortunate ones saw a city resembling the sun,
surrounded by a vast rampart of crystal, / and with varied, wonderful crests shining brightly with jewels and gold.
Then, above that, those best of gods saw in its midst / an auspicious city of seventy million yojanas all around,
divine, surrounded by a silver rampart having the luster of the moon. / In the middle of it, further above, was a city extending for sixty million [yojanas],
