Seeing the Lord thus lying, the two foremost of Danavas roared out a loud laugh. Having the qualities of Darkness and Ignorance, they said. This is that Being of white complexion. He is no lying asleep. Forsooth, this one has brought the Vedas away from the nether region.
तं दृष्ट्वा दानवेन्द्रौ तौ महाहासममुञ्चताम्॥ उचतुश्च समाविष्टौ रजसा तमसा च तौ। अयं स पुरुषः श्वेतः शेते निद्रामुपागतः॥ अनेन नूनं वेदानां कृतमाहरणं रसात्।
