In this way six thousand years elapsed even while they lived on water. Then for
another seven millennia they lived on air alone. (144)

For ten thousand years they refused to inhale even air (i.e., held their breath) and
remained standing on one leg. Beholding their great penance Brahmå, Hari and Hara
repeatedly called on Manu and tempted him in many ways, saying ìAsk for a boon.î But
the king and queen were most resolute and did not swerve in spite of the deitiesí efforts
to deflect them from their course. Although their frame had been reduced to a mere
skeleton there was not the least anguish in their heart. The omniscient Lord now
recognized the king and queen as His own servants. The ascetic couple solely
depended on Him. In the meantime a most deep voice thundered from heaven, ìAsk, ask
for a boon.î The voice was steeped in the nectar of compassion and was so charming
that it infused life into the dead. Entering through the cavity of the ears when it reached
their very heart, they found their body attractive, animated and robust as before, as if
they had just returned from home. (1ó4)

itself, the hair on their body bristled and a thrill ran through their limbs. Then, falling
prostrate on the ground and with his heart overflowing with love Manu spoke:ó (145)
