The gods were drawn by Viśvakarman as desired by Himavat. The Altar was erected by him with wonderful features, fascinating the gods (devavimohana) and exquisite in form. On being commanded by the lord of mountains, the intelligent Viśvakarman created different abodes for the residence of the gods and others. Great couches of wonderful brilliance very cosy and exquisite were made by Viśvakarman for their sake. [...]”.
