harṣāduvāca paśyāmi padmapatre sthitaṃ payaḥ
tatastā ūcurakhilaṃ kṛttikā himaśailajām //

Agni gratified the Devas with this in return when the semen virile of the Lord gushed out of Their stomachs and flowed close to the residence of Śiva where it formed into a pool of melted golden colour where the golden lotuses sprang up and birds of numerous varieties began to chirp there Pârvatî hearing the renown of that pool extending to many Yojanas and its crystal waters shining like gold and beautified with lotus beds, went there in company of Her maids and began to sport in it and took up lotuses and made head ornaments Afterwards she stood there and felt inclined to drink its water when the Kṛittikâs having finished their bath, took its water on a lotus leaf and came there Pârvatî cheerfully said "I will see this water resting on lotus leaves"—27-32
