*īśvara uvāca
purā purāṇapuruṣaḥ kadācidgandhamādane
bhūtvā dharmasuto viṣṇuś cacāra vipulaṃ tapaḥ //
Śiva said that, once upon a time Lord Viṣṇu, the son of Dharma, began to practise rigid asceticism on the summit of the Gandhamâdana mountain. Indra being afraid of His austerities, sent a group of nymphs in company of the Vernal-season and Cupid to distract Him from His penances and destory His austerities.—21-22.
