[...] Another damsel engaged in applying the red lac juice to her feet heard the tumult outside and so left it in the middle and came out to see the procession. Thus the ladies forsook their activities, left their houses and came out. On seeing the exquisite form of Śiva (śaṃkararūpa—dṛṣṭvā tu śāṃkaraṃ rūpaṃ) they were greatly fascinated. [...]”.
