Ó rei Yudhiṣṭhira, então os semideuses aproximaram-se do Senhor, liderados por Brahmā, Indra e Girīśa (Śiva). Vieram também os ṛṣis, os Pitṛs, os Siddhas, os Vidyādharas e os habitantes do mundo das serpentes; os Manus e os Prajāpatis, bem como Gandharvas, Apsarās, Cāraṇas, Yakṣas, Kimpuruṣas, Vetālas e Kinnaras. Os servos pessoais de Viṣṇu, como Sunanda e Kumuda, chegaram perto do Senhor Narasiṁha, de intenso fulgor; com as mãos unidas sobre a cabeça, cada um ofereceu reverências e preces separadamente.
