Then the Devas all proclaimed at once with sorrowful minds :—“ We will all go to Him ” Brahmâ also accompanied them to get their object fulfilled and they all went to the abode of Śiva They beheld that supreme and glorious Śiva the lord of the past present and future in company of His noble consort, Pârvatî, and the high-souled Nandikeśvara In other words, the Devas were bedazzled with the sublime glory of the mighty Śiva. He was of a fiery colour, unborn, of three eyes resembling the three pits of fires, with the splendour of one thousand suns decked with fire-coloured ornaments, having the crescent Moon on His forehead, and his face looking sweet like the Moon The Devas considered them selves blessed by seeing the Lord, the Unborn One the Nîlalohita (of blue and red colour), ready to grant boons, the Lord of Pârvatî, the Lord of gods, the Deva Swayambhu Whom they now began to adore with their devotional hymns—17-20.
