[...] Tanks were built for butter, spirituous beverages, sweet juices of various kinds and rice preparations of various sorts. Different kinds of pickles and side dishes were prepared that might appeal to Śiva’s Gaṇas and the gods. Different kinds of valuable garments purified in fire were kept ready. Gems and jewels of different kinds, gold, silver and other articles were gathered (saṃgṛhya) duly. [...]”.

(A nymph) Rucirā (‘Lovely’) was fashioned by the Creator as he fashioned Speech, by collecting (saṃgṛhya) the beauties belonging to sprites, men, demons, and gods. But once she was cursed by Fate (Brahmā) because of her evil pride. Hence she was born as a daughter of the (tribe of) Vasus, from Bhārgava, and was named Guṇavatī. Her great curiosity led her once to the hermitage of Mataṅga. [...]”.
