With these thoughts the god proceeded toward the North-east direction and commenced the process of Vaikriya Samudghat. In order to create an alternate vital-dynamic body (Uttar Vaikriya Sharir) he imparted fluidity to the constituent particles of his body and the microsections of the soul and expanding them he transformed his body into

It appeared as if the winter full-moon was rising between the planets mars and saturn.
As the summit of a hill looks enchanting due to the glowing plants of divine herbs, this god appeared scintillating due to the glowing crown and other ornaments on his body. He was as strangely and gorgeously attired as the Meru mountain covered with its ever
