Vaishampayana said : Having been thus addressed, the illustrious smoke-banned (deity) Agni recollected Varuna, the protector of the world, the son of Aditi and the lord of waters having his home in the waters, He too knowing that he was thought of, appeared before Agni.
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमुक्तः स भगवान् धूमकेतुर्हताशनः। चिन्तयामास वरुणं लोकपालं दिदृक्षया॥ आदित्यमुदके देवं निवसन्तं जलेश्वरम्। स च तच्चिन्तितं ज्ञात्वा दर्शयामास पावकम्॥
