I (shall) again tell you about the greatness of Vi峁ａ箛u, having heard which a man becomes free from all sins. O best Br膩hma峁嘺, this entire world is a portion of Vi峁ａ箛u (i.e., 惫颈峁ａ箛惫补峁兣沘). Therefore, those wise men who desire the highest knowledge, look upon it as full of Vi峁ａ箛u. All gods like Brahm膩, 艢a峁卥ara, Rudra are Vi峁ａ箛u鈥檚 portions (i.e., 惫颈峁ａ箛惫补峁兣沘). Therefore, worship offered to all gods, goes to Vi峁ａ箛u alone鈥�.

[...] He is of pure soul, an abode of austerities. He sanctifies even the great souls. He is the bestower of the benefit of austerities. He is the auspicious storehouse of multifarious minerals. He is of a divine form. He is beautiful in every part. He is the unaffected part of Vi峁ａ箛u (i.e., 惫颈峁ａ箛惫补峁兣沘鈥�惫颈峁ａ箛惫补峁兣沷'惫颈办峁泃补岣�).
