Here the austerity is so fierce that the very mountain smokes. It is telling that the heat of their tapas scorches the Vindhya: resolve carried to its extreme shakes the world itself. Here it is shown how formidable the power of concentrated will is -- and how dangerous it is without the rein of dharma. Thus the scripture shows the extremity of their austerity; and the shaken gods will not take alarm in vain.
