4) How Gāthi, a brahmin, saw Māyā. In the country of Kosala there was once a brahmin named Gāthi. He went to the forests and standing there in water in a pond, immersed up to his neck, started doing penance. For eight months he did penance thus and then Mahāviṣṇu appeared before him and asked him what boon he wanted. The brahmin said he wanted to see Māyādevī. Viṣṇu granted the boon and disappeared.
