Brahmā said: O lord of the universe, your conduct is spotless; we are but tools of your game. Our dissolution and rise depend upon the closing or opening of your eyes. Even when you are wide awake, O lord, we are distressed by Viṣṇu of unmeasured splendour. O Śiva, our destruction cannot happen when you are wide awake. It behoves you to curb and check Nṛsiṃha, for the welfare of the worlds.
