Formerly in the golden age, O son, there was a Rishi of great fame, named Vyaghrapada. O lord, listion from me in prolics all that by which I pacified Mahadeva, the great spendorous god with apurpose. O sinles, whatever I got from Maheshvara, the god of the gods, during long long past; I will tell you all that in detail. He was celebrated for his knowledge and mastery over the Vedas and their auxiliaries.
