The king's advantage seeking still

And zealous to perform his will.

Now all the Gods had gathered there,

Each one for his allotted share:

Brahmá, the ruler of the sky,

Stháṇu, Náráyaṇ, Lord most high,

And holy Indra men might view

With Maruts[105] for his retinue;

The heavenly chorister, and saint,

And spirit pure from earthly taint,
