[...] (He went on to) initiate the Sun, Nāga (who is the Lord of the Snakes), Rakṣa, who is the finest jewel of the (cosmic) ocean (udadhimaṇi-vara), Śakra, Kūrma, Piśāca and others ending with the Lord of the Heroes and the holy (inhabitants of) many countries. The third one of these is Ṣaṣṭha who belongs to a family of kings. This is how I worship. [...]”.
