Himavån politely sent for all the gods and assigned an appropriate seat to each
of them. An altar was prepared in accordance with the Vedic ritual and women chanted
charming festal strains. A divinely beautiful throne with the images of a pair of lions for
its arms was placed on the altar; being a handiwork of the Creator himself, it beggared
description. Bowing His head to the Bråhmaƒas and calling to His mind His own Master,
the Lord of Raghus, ›iva took His seat on the throne. The great sages then sent for
Umå, who was brought in by Her girl companions richly adorned. All the gods were
enraptured at Her beauty. What poet in the world could describe such loveliness?
Recognizing in Her the Mother of the universe and Spouse of ›iva, the divinities
mentally bowed to Her. The perfection of beauty that Bhavån∂ was could not be
adequately praised even with millions of tongues. (1ó4)

The superb beauty of the Mother of the universe could not be described even with
millions of tongues. When even the Vedas, ›ea (the serpent-god) and ›åradå (the
goddess of learning) shrink abashed, of what account is the dull-witted Tulas∂dåsa?
Mother Bhavån∂, the mind of beauty, walked to the middle of the pavilion, where ›iva
was. Out of shyness She could not gaze on Her lordís lotus feet, although Her heart was
fixed thereon like a bee.
