The Nīrājana rites too were also performed by the maids and Brahmin women. The daughter of the mountain and the beloved of Śiva, the lovely lady shone with the pair of fresh clothes (ambarayugma). O sage, an exquisite divine jacket studded with various gems was worn by the goddess who shone all the more. [...]”.
