What happens in this chapter
Keshin, the long-haired muni of the wind
Seven Vatarashana munis, the wind-girdled sages Juti, Vatajuti, Viprajuti, Vrishanaka, Karikrata, Etasha and Rishyashringa, see the Keshin, the long-haired one. He bears fire, he bears the drink, he bears heaven and earth; he is called this very light. The munis wear tawny, soiled garments and follow the rush of the wind once the devas have entered them. Mortals see only their bodies. The muni flies through the mid-air seeing every form, friend to each deva, steed of Vata, dwelling by both oceans, moving among apsaras, gandharvas and wild beasts. Vayu churned for him, and the Keshin drank from the cup with Rudra.
