Brahmasabhāvarṇana(ṃ) (“description of the palace of Brahmán”). § 270 (Lokapālas.): In the Kṛta age, Āditya (= the Sun) having seen the sabhā of Pitāmaha (i.e. Brahmán), which is immeasurable and immaterial (mānasī), told Nārada, who also desired to see it, to perform a Brahmavrata for 1, 000 years. Nārada, then, having repaired to Himavat, performed the penance, and then he was taken by Sūrya (the Sun) to the sabhā of Brahmán. Within a moment it assumes a different form, and cannot be described. It is neither cold nor warm, without hunger or thirst, etc.
