The sages said, “Sūta, O blessed Sūta, disciple of Vyāsa, our obeisance to ye. It is due to thy grace that this wonderful story has been narrated to us, O dear one. Now tell us in detail, what Viṣṇu do after Nārada left Him? And where did Nārada go?” Vyāsa said, “On hearing these words of the sages, Sūta the wise and excellent scholar of Purāṇas remembered Śiva, the cause of different kinds of creation, and replied.” Sūta said, “When Nārada went away casually Viṣṇu, skilful in wielding his Māyā, spread his Māyā as Śiva had willed. On the path taken by the sage He created a big wonderful city. It was a hundred yojanas in extent and surprisingly beautiful. It was far more beautiful than heaven. Many articles were displayed there. Men and women of all four castes stayed there.
