Sūta replied: Then Brahmā said once again to that lord Śvetapiṅgala (White-and-tawny-coloured). “O lord, the sixth name of yours that had been mentioned by me is Bhīma. Let Ākāśa (Ether) be the sixth body of that name”. On this being uttered, the cavity that had been in his body entered the ether. Hence, it is the body of Bhīma. Since the lord is remembered as existing in the ether. One should not evacuate the bowels, urinate, take food, drink water, have sexual intercourse or throw up leavings of food consumed without having a cover on. The lord does not oppress or injure him who behaves towards Bhīma thus. Then Brahmā said once again to that lord, who is mighty.
