By that time the ladies of the town left the work they were engaged in, in their eagerness to see Śiva (darśanalālasa). A certain lady in the midst of her bath and toilet was overwhelmed with the desire to see Śiva, the bridegroom of Pārvatī. She came out with the shampoo powder still held in her hands. [...]”.
