[Chapter] 35: Then, after Śiva's departure, Pārvatī, distressed by separation, assumes the form of a Śabarī woman and goes near Śiva who is in solitary meditation; Śiva's rising from meditation as soon as he sees her; when Pārvatī vanishes the moment Śiva looks at her, Śiva falls into a state of separation; then Śiva asks the Śabarī to choose him; then the Śabarī, to obtain Śiva who has fallen under the power of desire, brings him to her father on Mount Gandhamādana to make a request to her father; Śiva asks Himālaya for the maiden; in the meantime, Nārada arrives there and enlightens Śiva; then Śiva, realizing he was deceived by Pārvatī, wishes to depart in anger for another forest, but after Himālaya and the other mountains place the mountain-born goddess [Pārvatī] before him and make a supplication, his anger subsides; after which follows the description of the consecration performed by the great seer Aṅgiras on a divine lion-throne on Mount Gandhamādana; thus, in the context of the greatness of Kedāranātha, the description praising the entire duty to Śiva. 72 1
