Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: After offering obeisances to the direction from which Ananta had disappeared, Citraketu began traveling in outer space as the head of the Vidyādharas.
The Seventeenth Chapter describes how Citraketu, as leader of the Vidyādharas, laughed at Śiva and received a curse from Śiva’s wife to become Vṛtrāsura. Yataḥ ṁeans “in the direction.”
