ततो योगस्थितो रुद्रः पुरा कृतयुगे नृप वालखिल्यानृषीन्सर्वान्धर्ममेतमपाठयत् अन्तर्दधे ततो भूयस्तस्य देवस्य मायया

English Translation

In the golden age of that ancient Kalpa, Rudra, devoted to Yoga, 0 king, communicated it to all those Rishis called Valkhilyas. Through the illusion of Narayana, it once more disappeared from the universe.
