He lived like one freed from the world. Crowned with ascetic success and gifted with perfect tranquillity of soul, he had all his senses under complete control. He seemed to shine with the resplendence of Brahma and capable of going everywhere at will. He knew the science of disappearing at will from before the eyes of all. He used to move about in the company of invisible Siddhas and celestial musicians. He used to sit and talk with them on some spot retired from the bustle of humanity. He was as unattached to all things as the wind Kashyapa having heard of him truly, wished to see him. Gifted with intelligence, that foremost of all Brahmanas approached the sage.
चरन्तं मुक्तवत्सिद्धं प्रशान्तं संयतेन्द्रियम्। दीप्यमानं श्रिया ब्राह्मया क्रममाणं च सर्वशः॥ अन्तर्धानगतिज्ञं च श्रुत्वा तत्त्वेन काश्यपः। तथैवान्तर्हितैः सिद्धैर्यान्तं चक्रधरैः सह॥ सम्भाषमाणमेकान्ते समासीनं च तैः सह। यदृच्छया च गच्छन्तमसक्तं पवनं यथा॥
