They said, "A Brahmin was this seer. His wife is hard to take away. Come, let us give this [seat] to him." They gave it to him. She said, "They want to slay you, as it were, behind your back again. Do not sit upon it." They departed. They placed a golden chair for him in the shade. Careless, he sat down upon it. Becoming a rock right there, it enclosed him. The two sons, Triśoka and Nabhāka, noticed that: "The Asuras have indeed enclosed our father with a rock!" The two came. Nabhāka desired, "May I outwit them." He saw this Nābhāka hymn. With it he praised her. He became visible in it.
