Daraufhin versammelten sich König Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera), Yama zusammen mit den Pitṛs, der tausendäugige Indra — Herr der Devas — Varuṇa, Gebieter der Wasser, der ruhmreiche Mahādeva mit dem Stierbanner und sechs Augen, sowie Brahmā, Schöpfer aller Welten und der Vortrefflichste unter den Brahman-Kennern.
