He stripped some and left them naked; they came back to the world no more. There were some who were afraid to have issue; he leaves them without issue but entangles them in the world. Some he entangles and puts to surety; mankind will laugh at these. Others finish the path, these he takes to Yaikuntha; he leaves them not till they have surrendered their souls to him. Tuka says, Though we know this we prefer to forget it; we find ourselves captives in his power.
