1.3.12
sa tasminnevākāśe striyamājagāma bahuśobhamānāmumām̐haimavatīṃ tām̐hovācā kimetadyakṣamiti ||

The space, or the part of the space, where that Yakṣa vanished after revealing Itself, and the space where Indra also was at the time of the disappearance of Brahman, tasmin eva ākāśe, in that very space; saḥ, he, Indra, stayed on, deliberating in his mind, \"What is this Yakṣa?\" He did not return like Fire etc. Understanding his devotion to Yakṣa, Knowledge (of Brahman) made Her appearance as a woman, in the form Umā. Saḥ. he, Indra; ājagāma, approached; bahuśobhamānām, superbly charming; tām, Her, Umā; Knowledge being the most fascinating of all fascinating things, the attribute 'superbly charming' is appropriate for it—he approached haimavatīm, one who was as though attired in dress of gold, i.e. exquisitely beautiful. Or Umā Herself is Haimavatī, the daughter of Himavat (Himalayas). Thinking that, since She is ever in association with the omniscient God, She must be able to know, Indra approached Her; (and) tām, to Her, to Umā; uvāca, said, "Tell me, kim etat yakṣam iti, what is this Yakṣa—that showed Itself and vanished?"
