Vaiśaṃpāyana dijo: Luego, por el poder de su soberanía divina, el Señor asumió otro cuerpo, radiante como la luna. Con una forma de hermosa nariz, se mantuvo en pie tras haber formado una cabeza y un cuello semejantes a los de un caballo; y su boca pura se convirtió en la morada misma de todos los Vedas.
