Samvarta said There is a peak named Munjaban on the summits of the Himalaya mountains, where the worshipful husband of Uma (Mahadeva) is constantly practising austere penances.

There the powerful and worshipful god of great power accompanied by his wife Uma, and armed with his trident, and surrounded by wild goblins of many sorts, following his random wish or fancy, constantly lives in the shade of huge forest trees, or in the caves, or on the rugged peaks of the great mountain.

And there the Rudras, the Saddhyas, the Vishvedevas, the Vasus, Yama, Varuna, and Kubera with all his followers, and the spirits and globins, and the two Ashvins, the Gandharvas, the Apsaras, the Yakshas, as also the celestial sages, the Sun Gods, as well as the gods presiding over the winds, and evil spirits of all sorts, adore the great lord of Uma, gifted with diverse characteristics.

And there, O king, the adorable god, sports with the wild and playful followers of Kubera, having weird and ghastly appearances.

Shining with its own splendour, that mountain looks resplendent as the morning sun.

And no creature with his natural eyes made of flesh, can ever see its shape or figure, and neither heat nor cold prevails there, nor does the sun shine or the winds blow.

And, O king, neither does senility, nor hunger, nor thirst nor death nor fear afflict any one there.

And, O foremost of conquerors, there exist mines of gold, resplendent as the solar rays on all sides of that mountain. And, O king, desirous of doing good to him, the attendants of Kubera protect these mines of gold from intruders, with uplifted arms.

Come here, and appease that adorable god who is known by the name of Sarva, Bedha, Rudra, Shitikantha, Surupa, Suvarcha, Kapardi, Karala, Haryaksha, Varada, Tryaksha, Pushnodantabhid, Vamana, Shiva, Yamya, Avyaktarupa, Sadvritta, Shankara, Kshemya, Harihesha, Sthanu, Purusha, Harinetra, Munda, Krisha, Uttarana, Bhaskara, Sutirtha, Devadeva, Ranha, Ushnishi, Suvaktra, Sahasraksha, Midhvan, Girisha, Prashanta, Yata, Chiravasa, Vilvadanda, Siddha, Sarvadandadhara, Mriga, Vyadha, Mahan, Dhanesha, Bhava, Vara, Somavaktra, Siddhamantra, Chakshu.

There bowing to that deity, you must seck his protection. And thus, O prince, making your submission to that great Mahadeva of great energy, you will acquire that gold.

And the men who go there thus, succeed in getting the gold. Thus instructed, Marutta, the son of Karandhama, did as he was advised.

He made super-human arrangements for the celebration of his sacrifice. And artisans made golden Vessels for that sacrificc.

And hearing of the prosperity of Marulta, eclipsing that of the gods, Brihaspati, too, became grcatly sorry at heart and, distressed at the thought that his rival Samvarta should become prosperous, became sick at heart, and the glow of his complexion left him, and his body became emaciated.

And when the king of the gods came to know that Brihaspati was much aggrieved, he went to him attended by the Immortals and spoke to him thus.
