the mango sprouts, whose limbs were adorned with very
charming ornaments which were firm and auspicious (34),
whose body was sparkling with necklaces, anklets and armlets,
who was the creeper of joy to the eyes, who was the noble
lore of beauty (35) and who had the entire net - work of
worlds as her family, Śiva sat. Him who had such an
unparallelled form, the retinue all round adored with praises.
