Being very tired they went in search of water, and entered a thick forest. There they saw a lake full of golden lotus flowers, and four men plucking flowers. Naravāhanadatta approached them. They said that they had been plucking flowers to worship Viṣṇu. Naravāhana followed them to the presence of Viṣṇu. Mahāviṣṇu was greatly pleased at Naravāhanadatta who was standing with folded hands singing praises of Viṣṇu in intense devotion and blessed him to become the emperor of the Vidyādharas.
