[...] Śiva, who is favourably disposed towards His devotees, approached her with pleasure in the guise of a celibate. On seeing that Brahmin of wonderful refulgence come, goddess Pārvatī worshipped Him with all the articles of worship.

(224) When we hear the reproach of corrupted monks, we will take heed to our action lest their action bear its fruit. [...]’”.
