Being thus addressed, Bhagavan Janasdana, in the form of a fish, complimented him and said: "O Spotless One, I have been truly known by you. In a few days time, O raja, the universe shall be deluged with water, along with the mountains and forests. The Devas have made this boat to rescue the creation from such a calamity, placing in it svedajas, andajas, udbhijas and jarayujas. O raja ! you tae charge of this boat and help the distressed at the time of the impending danger. When you find the boat in danger of being blown away by the strong gusts of wind, tie it to my horn. By rescuing the afflicted from such an awful misfortune, you will be rendering a great paternal service to the creation. And O blessed sovereign ! You shall reign for one Manvantara, from the beginning of the Krtayuga, and shall be venerated by all the devas.
