śrīpārvatyuvāca || gateṣu munisaṃgheṣu śrutvā karmaphalaṃ nṛṇām || kiṃ cakāra nṛpaśreṣṭho brahmaśāpena vihvalaḥ
Śrī Pārvatī said: When the throngs of sages had gone, having heard of the fruit of men's deeds, what did the best of kings do, distressed as he was by the brahmin's curse?

अतिथिर्ब्राह्मणो वाऽपि किं चकार तदा प्रभो ।। जगाम नृपगेहं वा न वा तद्वक्तुमर्हसि सप्तसागरसंयुक्तां सप्तद्वीपां वसुन्धराम् ।। अष्टादशोपद्वीपाढ्यां सशैलवनशोभिताम् तच्चिन्तयामि पादाब्जं न मे वाञ्छा ऽस्ति सम्पदि ।। सालोक्यसार्ष्टिसारूप्यसामीप्यं राधिकापतेः दिक्पालाश्च दिगीशाश्च भ्रमन्त्येवास्य मायया ।। यदाज्ञया वाति वायुः सूर्य्यो दिनपतिः सदा।। कालभीतश्च कालेशं कृष्णमात्मानमीश्वरम् ।। । महाविष्णोर्लोमकूपसाधारः सोऽस्ति विस्तृते ।। कूपेषु लोम्नां प्रत्येकमेवं विश्वानि सन्ति वै

And what did the guest, the brahmin, do then, O lord? Did he go to the king's house or not? That you should tell. The earth, joined with the seven seas, with its seven continents, rich with eighteen sub-continents, adorned with mountains and forests — (yet) it is that lotus-foot that I contemplate; I have no desire for wealth, nor for sharing the world, the power, the form, or the nearness of Rādhikā's lord. The guardians of the quarters and the lords of the directions wander about by his māyā indeed; by whose command the wind blows and the sun is ever the lord of day; and (he), afraid of time, (worships) Kṛṣṇa, the lord of time, the Self, the Lord. He rests upon a pore of the hair of Mahāviṣṇu, in that vast (expanse); in each single pore of his hairs there are universes such as this.
