O sage Nārada, on seeing you, the lord of the mountains bowed to you and worshipped you. He called his daughter and asked her to fall at your feet. O excellent sage, he bowed to you again. Himavat [i.e., himabhūdhara] joined his palms in reverence and bent his head considering it his duty and spoke to you. [...]”.
