"Tomorrow, accompanied by your sons and wife, by command of the God of gods, / go to Mandara, O lord of the gods, and greet the Lord of the Mountain. / When you have gone, O best of the gods, to the festival of the Aśoka tree, / the God of gods, remover of the distress of gods and men, will experience supreme joy. / Having bowed down to the mighty Maheśa, the wielder of the sharp trident, bearer of the Pināka bow, lord and husband of the daughter of the king of mountains, you shall return once again to the assembly of heaven."
