In the Harivansha Purana, that deceitful, disobedient, and dishonest one, like a wicked serpent, was wicked in nature and was subdued. ||51|| "O sinner! See, I am measuring three steps of the earth," saying this, he made his body so large that it touched the celestial sphere. ||52|| He placed one step on Meru, the second on the Manushottara, and the third, not finding space, wandered in the sky. ||53|| At that time, due to Vishnu's influence, the three worlds were disturbed. The Kimpurusha and other gods began to say, "What is this? What is this?" ||54|| The Gandharvas, with their wives, sang sweet songs near that Muni, who played the Veena, flute, etc. ||55|| His feet, with red soles, were wandering freely in the sky, and his nails, like mirrors, were reflecting the faces of the Kinnara and other celestial women who had gathered for music. ||56|| "O Vishnu! O Lord! Remove the disturbance of the mind, remove it. Due to the influence of your penance, the three worlds have become agitated today." Thus, the gods, the Vidyadharas, the Gandharvas playing the Veena, the Siddhanta-singing Charanas, and the Muni who wandered in the high sky, pacified him with sweet songs. Then, gradually, he contracted his agitation and became calm, like the sun after the eclipse is over, returning to his original form. ||57-59|| At that time, the gods quickly removed the affliction of the Munis, bound the wicked Valika, punished him, and banished him from the country. ||60|| At that time, the Kinnara gods brought three Veenas. The Veena named Ghosha was given to the Vidyadharas who lived in the Uttarashreni, Mahaghosha to the residents of Siddhakoota, and Sughosha to the Vidyadharas of the southern bank. ||61|| Thus, by removing the affliction and showing affection for the Jain religion, Vishnu Kumar Muni went straight to his Guru and, through atonement, removed the affliction. ||62||
