Nandīśvara said: Those two brahmins had been sent by me alone. There is no doubt that you are like myself. O dear, this body of yours is factually worldly. It is not divine. O dear, what was formerly seen and worshipped by Śilāda, Devas, sages, Siddhas, Gandharvas and Dānavas was divine. O Nandīśvara. this is the nature of the world that happiness and misery befall repeatedly one after the other. It is the duty of the discriminating man to avoid birth through the womb.[1] After saying thus to me, Parameśvara, lord Rudra, Hara, the great lord of all Devas, the destroyer of distress touched me with his splendid hands.
