I shall mention it, remembering Śiva. Accompanied by her maids (sakhīyukta) and assuming meaningful dress and features she returned to her father’s house repeating the name of lord Śiva. On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated in a divine vehicle. [...]”.
