16. As the king, rent by sorrow, stool there in distress, some blessed Sura arrived from the sky. Abocle of virtues, destroyer of sorrows, removing detachment and creating interest, endowed with a crown, with heart set ou Jine greatly lustrous, Hying through the sky, beautiful in form, following up the best of the mountains, a Bhujange prince alighted ou earth and bowing with a nod and speaking pure, perfect in all his limbs, came up there. He was seen by the king as delighted in mind, delighter of the king, delighter of men. He said "Oh lord of inca: give up your grief; do not leave off the undertaking through sorrow. Whatever I had thought in my mind, you have done and much more shall you do.
17. Oh lord of men : I have Leen living here for long and am able to chcek this current of water. If I get enragel, I would knock dowo the cluster of stars, brcak the hood of the serpent at the bottom of the earth, crush the emineut mountains and stop the gods allvancing in battle. Eveu a you cannot more about through fear of me, what to say of any man who may be perverse ? I have been staying here as the guard of the image. A great a:lverse period of time is going to come. Being expected for a very long time, oh słucere hearted, you have come now, my friend. I have guarded it for such a long tine, good sir; sixty thousand years have come and gone. You have done well, oh gracious one, that you have installed the great god in the water-cave. Bringing the Jina inlaid with jewels, you have placed him in this spiendid, golden and immortal care. You have accoinplished this. I am now frec to trip it over the globe of the earth merrily.
