He was taller in stature than the tallest man on Earth. Wandering over all the worlds of human beings and of the deities and other superior beings, he sang constantly among assemblies and in public squares. Who is there who would cause the Brahmana Durvasas to live in his house, doing the duties of hospitality towards him?
दीर्धेभ्यश्च मनुष्येभ्यः प्रमाणादधिको भुवि। स स्वैरं चरते लोकान् ये दिव्या ये च मानुषाः॥ इमां गाथां गायमानश्चत्वरेषु सभासु च। दुर्वाससं वासयेत् को ब्राह्मणं सत्कृतं गृहे।॥
