Sūta said: On seeing Nṛsiṃha, Devas, Asuras, Nāgas, Siddhas, Sādhyas, Viṣṇu, Brahmā and others left off their courage and strength and went off in different directions in order to protect their lives. When they had gone, the lord Nṛsiṃha who had a thousand shapes, who had all feet and all arms, who had a thousand eyes, whose three eyes were the moon, sun and fire, who was the wielder of Māyā remained there enveloping every thing. The excellent Devas who were stationed on the Lokāloka accompanied by Brahmā, Siddhas, Yama and the Maruts, eulogised him.
