You are the store of all goodness Your caves are of wide expanse like mind You are the mightiest of all the immoveable things and hold the crystal water more clear than the mind I do not see the end of the belly of your caves and I do not see a store of riches elsewhere There is not the same charm and Lakṣmî even in Svarga as exists here You are always sanctified by the ascetics practising various kinds of penances and shining like fire The Devas, the Kinnaras and the Gandharvas scorning their vimânas reside in your realm making themselves quite at home O King of mountains! you are indeed blessed, for in your cave, Mahâdeva, the lord of the universe, is practising austerities, and is now in Samâdhi—125 130 After Nârada had thus addressed Him, Menâ the consort of Himâchala also came to meet the sage She bashfully took her seat along with her daughter, attended by a few companions With her face covered, she folded her hands to salute the sage sitting close to Himâchala Seeing her the illustrious sage showered his nectar like benedictions on her Then the daughter of Himâchala began to gaze on the Muni with a very curious mind when the sage very gently asked her to go to her father—131-136
