In the worlds that are known by the names of Bhu, Bhuva, Svah, and Maha, in the midst of the mountains of Lokaloka, in the islands, in the mountains of Meru, in all things which produce happiness, and in the hearts of all creatures, O illustrious Maghavat, lives Mahadeva, as held by persons conversant with all the topics of enquiry.
भुवाद्येषु महान्तेषु लोकालोकान्तरेषु च। द्वीपस्थानेषु मेरोश्च विभवेष्वन्तरेषु च॥ भगवन् मघवन् देवं वदन्ते तत्त्वदर्शिनः।
