Moreover, whoever abandons his vital breaths here on Śrīgiri, the best of mountains, / becoming three-eyed and moving at will, shall attain the status of a gaṇa-chief. // 57 // / And those who, having arrived here, circumambulate the mountain / which is adorned with the abodes of Śiva, shall become his attendants. // 58
