[...] The Gaṅgā and the Yamunā were waving the Chowries (sucāmara). The eight Siddhis danced in front of Him. Viṣṇu, I, Indra and the other gods bedecked their bodies and dress and accompanied Śiva. The Gaṇas of various forms and features shouted cries of ‘Victory’ ‘Victory’ and walked in front of Śiva. [...]”.
