They related the whole episode to him and he was much grieved to hear how ›iva
had burnt Love. The sages then told him of the boon granted to Rati and Himavån was
much relieved to learn this. Recalling to his mind the glory of ›ambhu Himåcala

Brahmå they delivered the note to him; and as he went through it his heart overflowed
with joy. Brahmå read the note aloud to all; the sages as well as the whole concourse
of gods was delighted to hear it. Flowers were showered from the air, music flowed from
various instruments and auspicious jars were placed in all directions. (1ó4)

The attendants of ›ambhu began to adorn their lord. His matted locks were formed
into a crown and decked with a crest of serpents. He had serpents for His ear-rings and
bracelets, smeared His person with ashes and wrapped a lionís skin round His loins.
