Astounded and in confusion and haste, the king of the gods rose from his throne, descended to the foot-stool, and took off his slippers, polished with expertise with the best cream of the vaidurya colour, deep and shining, and beset with glittering gems and stones.

Then bending his left knee, and supporting (himself) with his right knee on the floor, he placed his head thrice on the ground. Then slightly raising his head, he composed his arms decorated with bracelets and bangles, touched his head with the extended ten fingers of his folded palms and prayed thus. 15
