The Sun said with humility. “Your sons Marīci and others erected a beautiful shed called Suvarṇataṭam, in a corner of Jambudvipa in the valley below Kailāsa. A Brāhmaṇa named Indu arose from that hall. The Brāhmaṇa who was a Vedic scholar, righteous and peaceful, led the life of a house-holder with his wife for a long time. But they were childless. So they went to Kailāsa and did penance to get children. They entered a natural arbour which was quite silent and began severe penance. Śiva appeared and said that they would get children.
