They were diverse. Many songs were sung jubilantly (vādyavinoda). Then Viṣṇu, I the creator, Indra and other gods as well as the sages joined in jubilation with great pleasure. Then after bowing humbly to Pārvatī with devotion and remembering the lotus-like feet of Śiva they returned to their camps obtaining the permission of Himavat. [...]”.
