Verse 1

¹The Endless had gone from sight; and bowing toward that quarter, Citraketu the vidyadhara went on his way, moving through the sky. ²For a hundred thousand times a hundred thousand years, his strength and his senses unchecked, the great yogin was praised by the sages and by the siddhas and caranas. ³In the valleys of the king of mountains, where every sort of wish comes true, he took his pleasure with the vidyadhara women, having them sing of Hari, the Lord. ⁴One day, going in the shining sky-chariot that Visnu had given him, he saw the lord of the mountain with siddhas and caranas around him, ⁵holding the goddess in his arm and on his lap in the gathering of sages. He spoke, with the goddess listening, and laughed out loud in front of them.
