[...] Vīrabhadra and other Gaṇas followed them with different chiming cymbols beating the time and sporting about. Eulogising and being eulogised they sang songs of praise. Shouting cries of ‘Victory’ and ‘Obeisance’ the delighted people went to see the excellent son of Śiva (śivātmaja) born in the grove of Śara plants. [...]”
