[...] Auspicious rites were started by the mountain on an auspicious day. The womenfolk of the mountain performed the purificatory ceremony for Pārvatī. Women bedecked in ornaments performed auspicious rites. The delighted Brahmin women of the city did everything in accordance with the tradition and custom. Great festivities and holy auspicious rites were performed by the delighted (hṛṣṭātman) Himavat too. [...]”.
