For the fulfilment of the task of the gods and the sages, Viṣṇu and Brahmā, with minds fixed in Śiva (śivamānasa) performed the Japa. O excellent sage, they stood there steady and repeated the mantra a crore times uttering the name ‘Śiva’ several times. In the meantime Śiva came into direct view assuming his real form and spoke. [...]”.
