> "Indeed, through divine power you go everywhere, O goddess, just as I do in all directions."  
> Sanatkumāra said:  
> Then the blessed god Hara, mounting his bull that goes everywhere,  
> went to Mandara along with Umā, with Nandī, and with his retinue.  
> Having gone there, the Lord of the universe saw Mandara  
> performing supreme austerities, and having seen him, said:  
> "I am the giver of boons, O lord of mountains; I am exceedingly pleased with your tapas.  
> Choose whatever boon you desire; I grant all that to you."  
> Sanatkumāra said:  
> Addressed thus by Śarva, having seen the Lord of the three worlds  
> accompanied by Umā and Nandī, and having bowed to him whose mount is the bull,  
> having gazed again and again upon Hara, and again and again upon the Goddess,  
> he bowed again and again to the retinue and to Nandī.  
> Seeing him so overwhelmed, his eyes blurred with tears born of joy,  
> Hara once more gratified the mountain with a boon.  
> The God of gods said:  
> "Choose a boon; may it be well with you! O mountain, I am your granter of boons.  
> I wish to grant whatever you desire; choose a boon, O support of the earth!"  
> Mandara said:  
> "O Blessed One, if you are pleased, O God of gods, O Lord of the universe,  
> I desire your dwelling upon me, together with Umā and along with your retinue.  
> I desire, O Lord of the gods of gods, by the touch of your feet always,
