v2.c17.59

“Having heard these words of Īśvara, the fawn-eyed goddess mounted upon a lion, and hastily proceeded to the *Ekāmraka* wood, where, on her arrival, she saw the Svarṇakūṭa mountain as described by Śiva. It was excellent; inhabited by the gods and celestial sages (Siddharṣis); adorned with trees, creepers, groves and lakes; filled with the harmonious voice of different sorts of birds; and charming in every aspect. There, having seen the Liṅgam bearing white, black and red colours, Pārvatī worshipped it with various articles, and, building a dwelling near the Tribhuvaneśvara Liṅgam, became a fixed resident of the place.
