Agastya’s Instruction on Bhakti and Mantra-Siddhi; Descent to Pātāla and the Hearing of Vaiṣṇavī Kathā
धराधरो ऽलं जगतां धरायै निर्दिश्य भूयो विरराम मानदः / ततस्तु सर्वे सनकादयो ये समास्थितास्तत्परितः कथादृताः / आनन्द पूर्ण्णंबुनिधौ निमग्नाः सभाजयामासुरहीश्वरं तम्
dharādharo 'laṃ jagatāṃ dharāyai nirdiśya bhūyo virarāma mānadaḥ / tatastu sarve sanakādayo ye samāsthitāstatparitaḥ kathādṛtāḥ / ānanda pūrṇṇaṃbunidhau nimagnāḥ sabhājayāmāsurahīśvaraṃ tam
Having indicated to Earth, the bearer of the worlds, “This is enough,” the honor-giving Dharādhara again fell silent. Then Sanaka and all the others seated around, devoted to the sacred tale, as if immersed in an ocean full of bliss, paid reverent homage to that Ahi-īśvara.
