Verse 7.181.39

तस्मिन्वने चिरमुवास हरार्धदेहा केनापि कारणवशेन चिराय गौरी ।
भूत्वा प्रसन्नशशिबिम्बमुखी कदम्बवागीश्वरी शशिकलेव शिवस्य मूर्ध्नि ॥ ३९ ॥

tasminvane ciramuvāsa harārdhadehā kenāpi kāraṇavaśena cirāya gaurī |
bhūtvā prasannaśaśibimbamukhī kadambavāgīśvarī śaśikaleva śivasya mūrdhni || 39 ||

It was in such a forest as this, that the goddess Gauri the consort of the god Hara, resided at this spot for a long time, for some cause known to her godly mind; and then by changing her name and form to that of kadamba—Sarasvati, she waved as gracefully as a kadamba flower, on the crown of the head of her spoused partner Hara or Siva.
