While the four-faced (Brahma) and other heavenly ones gathered around and worshipped, and while the sages at all the four quarters of the earth stood with their five senses blossoming with joy and saluted Him, the sacred tall Maal with scintillating crown who having measured off theoree-fold world (the earth, six worlds above and seven below) with two lengths of His foot, was impelled by a desire to know where the feet of Civan end. He turning into a boar of fierce might and rushing forward and digging through the seven underground worlds got wearied and began to extol Civan by worshipping “Oh Eternal Source in each aeon! Victory! Victory to You!” That those twin feet which even then he could not see may be easy of worship in this vast sea-girt world! (1-10)! Lord Civan came down on earth as guru (priest) Suргепе. 155
