With reverence, the gods sought to purify their bodies and regain divine sight. To accomplish this, they were instructed to perform a sacred bath using a hundred pots of milk. Sixteen pots of pure pañcagavya were also prescribed for the ritual. Then, for the deity, they used one hundred and eight measures of rocanā, accompanied by offerings of bilva leaves, lotuses, datura flowers, and divine sandalwood. Incense made of aguru, kāleya, and sandalwood was presented as well. Only after completing these rites could the gods behold the Lord of the gods; no other way would grant them this vision. Through this practice, bodily purity was attained, enduring at all times. For three days, they were to drink warm ghee or subsist solely on air, as prescribed. Each day, six palas of ghee were to be consumed. Led by Indra, the gods performed the secret and intense penance, and, freed from sin, they addressed Lord Vāsudeva, the Lord of the gods. They asked, “By this prescribed rite, whom do we bathe with milk and other substances? Why do you not see in my body the yogic powers established here? Speak the truth, O Lord of the gods: where does the great Lord abide?” Murāri then revealed to the gods the divine liṅga of sovereignty. They bathed this eternal, unchanging, imperishable liṅga, and worshipped the Lord with devotion using bilva leaves and lotuses. After reciting the eight hundred names, they offered their salutations. The gods wondered how those beings, born of darkness and ignorance, could attain yogic power. For the Lord is endowed with all marks, bears all weapons, and is imperishable. He is adorned with a garland, serpent ornaments on his chest, and his waist is covered with a yellow deer skin. O great sage, the sound of kaparda shells, clubs, skulls, bells, and conch shells resounded. After speaking, the lotus-seated and others bowed, each fixing their mind on one direction. Seizing the liṅga, he swiftly rushed toward Kurukshetra, his own hermitage. Seeing him, they all said, “Salutations, O Sthanu,” and sat down together. They addressed him, “O Lord of the universe, the world is disturbed; arise, beloved guest.” Hearing this, the all-pervading, stainless one rose at once. He arrived, accompanied by the gods and Indra, all bowing with humility. The three worlds, enveloped by his great vow, were agitated. Then, the gods joyfully went to heaven, their minds intent. Meanwhile, Rudra pondered, “For what reason is the earth disturbed?” He saw Ushanas, the treasury of austerity, on the bank of the Ghagavati. “O Brahmin, tell me quickly what is causing the agitation of the world,” Rudra asked. Ushanas replied, “O three-eyed one, I wish to know the auspicious science of revival.” Rudra assured him, “Therefore, you will know the science of revival in its true essence.” Yet the earth, surrounded by oceans, mountains, and hills, still moved. Rudra then saw the sage named Mankana dancing. Struck by his speed, the earth shook together with its mountains. Rudra approached and asked, “Why are you dancing, what is your intention? Tell me, approaching; what satisfaction is here?
