In this way a long time went by for him, drunk with lordship, swollen with pride, going against the teaching, and standing under a brahmin's curse. Shaken by his harsh rod, all the worlds with their guardians, finding shelter nowhere else, went for shelter to the Unfallen. Salutation to that quarter where Hari, the self, the Lord, is; going there the calm, the renouncers, the spotless, do not come back. So they, holding themselves in, their minds gathered, spotless, waited on the lord of the senses, going without sleep and living on air. A voice came to them, without form, sounding like a cloud, making the quarters ring, taking the fear out of the good.
