O Janarddana, it was here that the gods with ali the Rishis, in days of yore, pleased that foremost of gods by their penances and celibacy and Truth and selfcontrol, and succeeded in realizing many high hopes. That illustrious god is verily the inexhaustible source of all energies and penances.
इहैनं दैवतश्रेष्ठं देवाः सर्षिगणाः पुरा। तपसा ब्रह्मचर्येण सत्येन च दमेन च॥ तोषयित्वा शुभान कामान् प्राप्तवन्तो जनार्दन। तेजसां तपसां चैव निधिः स भगवानिह॥
