Verse 17

¹²Brahma, Bhrgu, Bhava, Daksa and the other sons of Brahma, and men and gods and fathers and spirits, were all greatly astonished at him. ¹³So, holding the great vow, that yogin meditated by austerity, recitation and restraint upon the one beyond the reach of the senses, the afflictions in his inward self struck down. ¹⁴While the yogin joined his mind in this way by the great yoga, a long stretch of time went by, made up of six ages of Manu. ¹⁵Knowing this, in this seventh age, they say, Purandara grew uneasy at that austerity, brahmin, and set about breaking it. ¹⁶He sent to the sage gandharvas and apsarases, and Desire, and Spring with the wind off Malaya, and with them Passion's Child and Drunkenness.

¹⁷They came to his hermitage on the northern flank of the snow mountain, where the river Puspabhadra runs and the rock they call Citra stands, mighty one.
