All (things) shine due to her: Fire, Moon, Sun and stars. As the division of Sun and Moon, she bestows the plane of oneness.

One day he bought a cow for cash. 艢补艣颈苍, cruel-hearted, caused dissension with the owner of the cow, rushed in between, and bought the cow. [...] By the power of liberality, Rambhaka wandered through good conditions of existence (gati) and became you, the cakrin. Your affection for Sahasr膩k峁 originated in the former birth鈥�.
