With the desire to bring Śiva there, the mountain gladly sent mountains, Brahmins and others. The mountains and Brahmins with auspicious holy objects in their hands jubilantly went to the place where lord Śiva stood. Then the sound of the Vedic chants (brahmaghoṣa), musical instruments, songs and dances jubilantly arose there. [...]”.
