When Paśupati rejoiced, Hara, the lord of vows, again and again, / the three worlds, both moving and unmoving, rejoiced in Paśupati. / Filled with dancing troupes of apsarases, perfumed with divine incense, / strewn with the flowers of the seasons, that assembly resembled the sky. / Then quickly [they served] boiled rice of white grain […]. / With that [food] like ambrosia, all the best of the twice-born, / honoured by the world, were satisfied with food to chew and eat, and with drink.
