Listen attentively, O excellent sage, I shall narrate. O excellent brahmin, seeing frequently the divine sports of both the sons, Pārvatī and Śiva had their love increased. The happiness of the parents knew no bounds. The son too used to sport (atikhelana) in joy and love. O great sage, the sons rendered great service to their parents with great devotion. [...]”.
