The gods, the manes, the Gandharvas, the celestial maids, the gaṇas, the yakṣas, Kinnaras, the siddhas, the Vidyādharas, the people of the earth, the Rākṣasas, the daityas, the Rudras, Brahmā, all these joined together with vow and fast taken for a thousand years and performed a sacrifice each exalting Viṣṇu by singing seven verses from Ṛgveda. Keśava was much pleased at the caru and gave them Aṣṭaiśvaryasiddhi (the eight miraculous attainments) and everything they wished. Thus giving them all kinds of prosperities, the god Mukunda disappeared in this place as lightning in the clouds. Therefore this place became famous everywhere by the name Saptacaru." - [Previous: c9.1276](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1276) - [Next: c9.1278](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1278) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Ṛgvedasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.rg) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1277](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1277) · Pramāṇa
