On realising the resoluteness of Prvatī, the sages hailed her and bestowed excellent blessings [i.e., ś�岹śśṣaܳٳٲ峾] upon her. O sage, after bowing to the goddess, the sages who wanted to test her, were delighted. They immediately returned to Śiva’s abode. Having reached the place they informed Śiva of all the details.

He knows everything about [Śrik,] the beloved of Śiva, who has fathomed true knowledge through devotion.
