Thus Brahma the creator of the universe assuring the goddess earth variously went to lord Siva accompanied by other gods. They reached Reaching there Brahma spotted Siva who was seated under the everlasting banyan tree grown on the bank of the Gahga of the heaven. He was rearing tiger's skin and the ornaments of the bones of Satl, the daughter of Daksa. He was holding a trident. He had five faces, three eyes surrounded by several of siddhas and yogis, wearing a serene smile on the face and was witnessing the dance of apsaras accompanied with the music of Gandharvas. The goddess Parvatl was lovingly at him and he also was looking at her with the side glance. With his five faces he was reciting the name of the lord which provides welfare. He was feeling joyful, wearing the garlands of lotus flowers from the Ganga.
At that very moment Brahma appeared before Siva together with all the, gods and bowed in reverence to him.
At the sight of Brahma, Siva the teacher of the universe, with his mind filled with devotion at once got up to receive him and offered his salutation to him. Thereafter, he received his blessings as well. All the gods then started offering their salutation to Siva, who blessed them variously.
qKramnr qi<Jdlvi i Thereafter Brahma, the creator of the universe narrated the story of the earth to Siva the lord of Parvatl, hearing which Siva bowed his head downwards beings the one who loved his Both Siva and Parvatl on hearing the sufferings of his devotees felt painful at heart. At this, Brahma tried to salute him.
Thereafter Brahma and Siva asked the goddess earth and the other gods to go to their respective abodes reassuring them.
Both Brahma and Siva went to the abode of Brahma and consulted him variously thereafter all of them combined went to Vaikuntha which is the great abode of Visnu and is beyond the birth and death and is situated beyond the globe, floating in the air. This eternal abode of Visnu is situated beyond a crore of yojanas from the earth. It is built in gems, is beyond the comprehension of the poets where the rubies and sapphires are freely used on the path ways. The gods who could move with the speed of the mind reached there in am instant and had a look at Laksml Narayana in the inner apartment, who was seated at ease on the gem-studded lion- throne, adorned with the gem-studded ornaments, gem-studded armlets, wristlets and anklets.

All of them meekly stood their offering prayers. At that point of time all the gods were feeling blissful and their body was filled with emotion.
Tt ngw g' c r e Ri: I Brahma said- O lord of Kamala, O peaceful one, I bow in reverence to lord Acyuta who happens to be the lord of all you happen to be your own lustre and all the gods also have emerged from your rays O spotless one all the sages, the ascetics and the humans appear on earth together with all the moveable and immovable creatures emerging from your rays.

Because of this, you are known to be the bestower of all the success and the form of success therefore which one of us could be competent enough to recite your glory.
Dharma said- The men with letters have described the one, who has been highlighted in the Vedas. But the one who was of the elements which are beyond the description of the Vedas who can offers prayer to him? Whatever sins are possible for anyone, they are considered to be the virtues, which appear in the form of their prayer.
They are spotless and are visible as well as invisible, how can such a lord destroy. O great sage, whosoever recites the six verses composed by the gods in favour of the lord, such a person is relieved of all the miseries and always meets with the success. On hearing the prayer of the gods, Visnu himself spoke to them. All of you should go to Goloka and shall also follow you with LaksmI. Nara-NarSyana the, dweller of Sveta-dvipa and Sarasvatv will also follow you.
My vast illusion, Karttikeya, Ganesa and Savitrl, the mother of the Vedas will also follow us.
I reside in the Goloka having two armed in the form of Krsna with RadhS and. other cowherdesses and at this place I reside with Kamala and other courtiers.
