Brahmā said: In the meantime, from Nārada who has the divine vision the gods came to know of the extent of the enjoyment of the couple engaged in dalliance.

Realising that their enjoyment had extended over a long time, the gods became worried. Making me Brahmā as their leader they approached Viṣṇu Nārāyaṇa.

तं नत्वा कथितं सर्वं मया वृत्तांतमीप्सितम् ॥ सन्तस्थिरे सर्वदेवा चित्रे पुत्तलिका यथा ॥२३॥

After bowing to him I narrated to him all the details we desired to convey. The gods stood steady and silent like dolls painted in a picture.

Lord Viṣṇu said: O creator of the universe, there is nothing to worry about. Everything will be well. O lord of gods, seek refuge in the great lord Śiva.
