He performed his penance there. Pārvatī engaged herself in His service continuously accompanied by two of her maids. Although the lord Śiva was hit and wounded by the arrows of Kāma who was sent thither by the gods to enchant Him, He was not swayed at all. Burning [i.e., dagdhvā] Kāma there by His fiery eye, on remembering my words, the lord became angry with me and vanished from the scene. [...]”.

Then, overcome with passion and troubled by that separation, she (will) reside within the Triple Peaked mountain (immersed) in the aesthetic experience of the bliss of passion. O great goddess, she will connect (her) tongue to the Place of Power. O fair lady, (that) venerable lady, born from my limbs, even though a virgin, will bear in her womb the one who will cause the lineage of the Śrīkula to prosper. [...]”.
