Behind him went Viṣṇu, Brahmā, the sages and the gods. O Nārada, the sages, the gods and others accompanying the lord, praised the city of Himavat with great delight. Stationing the gods and others on his beautiful summit specially arranged for them, Himavat went to the place where the altar for the rites (vidhivedikā) had been erected. [...]”.
