Balaki said:
“The Person who dwells in the moon—it is He whom I worship.”
Ajatashatru replied:
“Do not speak to me about Him in that way. I worship Him as Soma, the King, the very essence and sustainer of food.”
He continued:
“Whoever worships Him in this manner becomes the possessor and sustainer of nourishment, and never lacks food or prosperity.”
