They approached Śiva, Viṣṇu and others and made their submission that the time for the celebration of marriage (kanyādānakāla—kanyādānocitaḥ kālo vartate) had arrived and that they would please hasten to the palace. On hearing that, O sage, Viṣṇu and others rejoiced much and cried shouts of victory to the mountain. [...]”.
