Part 2: Incarnation as Suvidhi (introduction)

Now, in the southern half of Bharata in this Jambūdvīpa there is a very important city Kākandī distinguished by its wealth. The pearl-garlands of its houses look like shining rosaries of Puṣpadhanvan for subjugating virtuous wives. The fourfold loud singing of the concerts^[1] in its temples becomes a charm for transfixing the gait of the Vidyādharīs. Ponds with clear water and abundant tall white lotuses imitate the sky with autumn-clouds and apparent stars. There, beggars, as well as gurus, were approached from afar and conducted to receive foot-water, and were delighted with suitable objects.
