Overcome by shame, his body was humbled, and he devoted himself to prostration. Yet, even though the body may be wounded or cut, the essential nature within remains indestructible; it cannot be severed, nor can it be burned. He reflected that all virtuous deeds performed will certainly bear fruit—of this, there was no doubt. Among the divine benefactors, Virupaksha stands as the third; these three bestow merit upon men. When Shri Damni is finally slain by Vishnu, the gods will rejoice. Thus, ascending to the summit of the sacred mountain, he beheld Shri Damna. With great speed, he released the mighty discus, repeatedly declaring, “He is slain!” As the weapon struck, Shri Damna’s head was severed, and he tumbled from the mountain like a peak struck by a thunderbolt. Having claimed the excellent discus, that supreme weapon, the god returned to his abode in the ocean. “If you worship him, O virtuous one,” it was said, “you will obtain food with milk.” Thus, after worshipping Virupaksha, he received food in the form of milk. The great asura then journeyed to that supreme holy place, seeking great merit. After worshipping Suvarnaksha, he proceeded to Naimisha. There, from among Tomti, Kancanakshi, and Gurudaya, he honored the sages dwelling within the Naimisha forest. His pilgrimage led him to Gaya, where he sought the Lord of Cows. At Gaya, he performed the meritorious offering of pinda for his ancestors. He worshipped Gadapani and Gopati Shankara, and after bathing in the waters of the great river, he traveled onward to Sarayu. Fasting for one night, he reached the city of Viraja. For the sake of seeing, he approached Ajita, the Supreme Person, and stayed there for six nights before journeying to southern Mahendra. Having seen, worshipped, and honored his ancestors, he traveled north to Mahendra. There, after seeing and bathing at Soma-tirtha, he approached Sahya mountain, having seen the excellent gods Shambhu, Gopala, and the drinker of Soma. He worshipped the gods and his ancestors, and continued to the Pariyatra mountain. Upon reaching the region of Kaseru, he saw Visvarupa. Then, the knower of yoga revealed himself as Visvarupa. Prahlada journeyed onward to the fragrant Malaya mountain. The yogic soul then traveled to Vindhya mountain to see Sadashiva. After fasting for three nights, he proceeded to the city of Avanti. There, he beheld Mahakala, bearing a corporeal form, dwelling in the cremation ground. Assuming a dark form, the Lord of restraint performed destruction. Having burned Antaka, the taker of all beings, he was protected. Surrounded by countless Pramathas and worshipped by many gods, he witnessed Yama, the restrainer—Death’s death—wondrous and marvelous. After worshipping the wielder of the trident, he traveled towards Nishadha. Reaching Mahodaya, he saw Hayagriva there. Having worshipped Shridhara, he continued to the land of Panchala. After seeing the lord of Panchala, the self-controlled one went to Prayaga. There, he beheld Vatishvara Rudra and Madhava, who rests in yoga.
