The son of Pulastya (Kubera), surrounded by his attendants, always with his permission formerly used to worship by bowing his head to the great deity, the god of gods, Shiva, the creator of the three worlds. One day the high-souled Bhava (Shiva) made friendship with Kubera, and forin that day he is always present in the assembly-hall of the lord of wealth.
