Then forsaking his family and his father, Śuka went to the peak of Kailāsa and began to do penance meditating on Śiva. At last he became a divine person who had obtained complete attainments, and breaking the top of the peak open, he rose up into the sky and shone there as a second Sun. The devas who saw Śuka rising up by breaking the peak of Kailāsa and staying up in the sky, praised him. - [Previous: c9.4979](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4979) - [Next: c9.4981](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4981) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4980](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.4980) · Pramāṇa
