Taraka

 1. Having assumed the form of Markas Devas who had been humiliated thus, accompanied by Mahendra, went to the abode of the Self-born Lord. 

2. Thereupon, Brahma who was surprised, spoke to those leading Suras, “Stay here in your own forms. There is no fear from Taraka here.” 

3. Thereupon, Devas who resumed their own forms and whose lotus-like faces had become faded, bowed down to him like sons bowing down to their father. All of them eulogized him then: 

4. “Obeisance to you, the source of the universe, the cause, the protector and the annihilator of the universe. Obeisance to you. O lord, these are the three states of yours: 

5 . At the outset, you created the waters and cast semen virile therein. It became the Golden Egg in which the worlds including mobile and immobile beings (took shape). 

6 . In the Vedas they call you one with the Cosmic Form ( Virad-riipa). 1 Your single form is like this: Patala is the root (i.e. sole) of the foot. The heel and the foot are Rasatala. 

7-8. Mahatala is the ankle; Talatala is the calf; Sutala is the knee; Vitala and Atala are the thighs; the surface of the earth is the hip; the sky-surface is the navel; the region of the luminaries is the region of the chest and the heavenly world is called the arras. 

9 . The world of Mahah is the neck; Janaloka is glorified as the .face; Tapoloka is the forehead and Satya Loka is cited as the head. . 

10. The sun and the moon are the eyes; the cardinal points are the ears and the Asvins the nose. The expounders of the Vedas say that you are the Atman abiding in the Brahmarandhra (‘the aperture on the crown of the head ) describe the Cosmic Form (Virad-rupo) of god Brahma. 

11. Those who remember this Virdd Pupa and worship it become rid of the bondage of births and attain you, the Supreme region. 

12. Thus they praise: You are gross as stationed in the middle of living beings; your subtle form is meditated upon in imagination. Therefore, the Vedas say that you are omnipresent O Lotus-born, to you we offer worship assuredly {id).”
