Seeing Garga Muni, who was the greatest of philosophers, who
was the brahmana tiger of sages, who, decorated with a parasol
was like a second King Indra, holding a stick was like a second
Yamaraja, his bodily luster illuminating the directions was like
a second sun-god, a great book at his belt was like a second Lord
Brahma, and who, dressed in white garments, stood like Lord Vishnu
Himself, noble King Vrishabhanu rose up at once with great respect, bowed his head, stood with folded hands, placed the sage on a
great throne, washed his feet, presented many offerings,
circumambulated him, and worshiped him according to the rules of
scripture.
