English translation of verses 1.15.41-45:

Seeing Garga Muni, who was the greatest of philosophers, who was the brāhmaṇa tiger of sages, who, decorated with a parasol was like a second King Indra, holding a stick was like a second Yamarāja, his bodily luster illuminating the directions was like a second sun-god, a great book at his belt was like a second Lord Brahmā, and who, dressed in white garments, stood like Lord Viṣṇu Himself, noble King Vṛṣabhānu rose up at once with great respect, bowed his head, stood with folded hands, placed the sage on a great throne, washed his feet, presented many offerings, circumambulated him, and worshiped him according to the rules of scripture.
