Brahmā said: “Come, O Śveta. What fruit do you gain by this means? O excellent brahmin, who can save one caught in my clutches even if he be Rudra, or Viṣṇu or Brahmā the lord of the universe? O brahmin, how does this procedure pertaining to Rudra affect me. I am bent upon taking you to my world O sage, since your span of life has come to an end.”
