Lord Matsya said :—I shall relate to you what Śiva, the destroyer of Pura, said to Pârvatî, in answer to a question put by her, while he was sitting on the beautiful peak of the Kailâśa. I shall explain to you now the ordinance which gives prosperity and emancipation, as enunciated by Him, in the course of a conversation on religious and pleasant subjects in which they were engaged.—2-3.
