Sūta said: When the next kalpa known as lohita, as a result of my colour, came, Gāyatrī glorified as a cow, born with red flesh, red bone, red blood, red milk, red eyes and red udders was known as Brahmāṇī. Since the colour was changed into red and since the lord was Vāma, I was known as Vāmadeva. O deity of great strength, then also I, who was in a different colour, was recognised by you who had practised self-control by resorting to yoga. I was then known as Vāmadeva. The twice-born who realise my Vāmadeva form shall go to Rudra’s world whence there is no return.
