莫艣vara said:

1-4. Now listen to the greatness of the 笔腻迟腻濒补惫颈惫补谤补 (Crevice leading to the nether worlds). O great goddess, this was already asked earlier by 叠谤补丑尘腻, the creator of the Universe.

When there arose prevalence of darkness, 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉 were born there too. They were innumerable, very powerful. All of them hated 厂奴谤测补.

They had 顿丑奴尘谤补 as their leader. On seeing the noble-souled 顿颈惫腻办补谤补 (Sun) rising, all of them immediately laughed at him: 鈥淲ho is this perpetrator of evil deeds who may be our destroyer?鈥� Standing before 厂奴谤测补, they spoke these and various other similar words.

5. On hearing this, the Lord got angry and his lips throbbed. 顿颈惫腻办补谤补 appeared to swallow the words of the 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉.

6. Like a killer lion, the destroyer of darkness wanted to annihilate the cruel 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉. He looked at them with wrathful eyes.

7. 厂奴谤测补 traversing the sky with great rays thought of killing them, but the Lord of heaven did not know the weak point of the 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉 till the end.

8. Then he saw these ones fallen from Dharma, having minds overwhelmed with sins. After considering this, Lord 笔谤补产丑腻办补谤补 began to meditate.

9. The 搁补箩补苍墨肠补谤补蝉 (demons) came to know that the three worlds were swallowed (pervaded) by the splendour. Then they were looked at by 叠丑腻苍耻 with eyes (as if) burning with anger.

10-11. Slipping down from the sky they fell like the planets with dwindling merit. 顿丑奴尘谤补 surrounded by the 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉 falling down from the sky, shone like a half ripe 罢腻濒补 fruit surrounded by monkeys. They fell automatically like stones released from a machine.

12. Thereafter, they fell further, dislodged and carried off by the wind. After reaching 笔谤补产丑腻蝉补 碍峁�e迟谤补, they pierced through the earth and went to the nether worlds, O lady of excellent complexion.

13. It is there that Lord Arkasthala, the bestower of all Siddhis, is present. O goddess, the great 笔腻迟腻濒补 cavity is in its vicinity.

14-15. There were crores of other cavities but, O beautiful lady, they had become lost. Beginning with K峁泃asmara and ending with Arkasthala with the Sun as the deity in between these two, O goddess, is the holy place of 厂奴谤测补. Attaining the boon from Devam膩t峁� (i.e. Aditi) the eight Siddhis had set up there.

16. It is remembered, O goddess, as the middle part of the splendour of 厂奴谤测补. It is fully golden. No one without merit sees the place, O goddess.

17. O great goddess, a hundred and one cavities and crores of 厂辫补谤艣补 gems (philosopher鈥檚 stones) are there, and Siddhe艣a guards them.

18. O great goddess, this holy spot is always dear to 厂奴谤测补. O my beloved, in the 厂奴谤测补 Parva (festival day of Sun), it is more efficacious than 碍耻谤耻办峁�e迟谤补.

19. 叠谤腻丑尘墨, 贬颈谤补峁噛腻 and the confluence of the great ocean, these three meeting places together, bestow the fruit of visiting 碍辞峁璱迟墨谤迟丑补蝉 (a crore of 罢墨谤迟丑补蝉).

20. The 顿别惫补尘腻迟腻 and Ma峁卥墨艣膩 are there. So also it is cited that 狈腻驳补蝉th膩na (holy spot of 狈腻驳补蝉) and Nagasth膩na (holy spot of the mountains) are also there.

21. Thus the great origin of Arkasthala has been narrated. It is also explained how the cavity came into existence due to the fall of 搁腻办峁�a蝉补蝉.

22. O goddess of Devas, the other cavities there have become lost but this is clearly manifest even today, O beautiful woman.

23-24. That cavity named 艢谤墨尘耻办丑补 is guarded by the Mothers, O my beloved. A devotee should worship the groups of Mothers beginning with Suna峁囜笉膩 in accordance with the injunctions on every fourteenth lunar day for a period of one year, through the offerings of animals and flowers and excellent incense and lights. 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺蝉 should be fed. O goddess, he will achieve Siddhi.

25-27. Hence, if one desires achievement of Siddhis by oneself, one should assiduously worship all the Mothers. All these Mothers become famous by the name Sunand膩ga峁嘺 in this 笔谤补产丑腻蝉补 碍峁�e迟谤补, O lady of excellent complexion. It is to the north and middle of 笔腻迟腻濒补. It has been briefly told. On hearing it an excellent man becomes rid of all dangers.
