संपूज्य प्रेषयामास राहुं नंदी गणाग्रणीः । अथ जालंधरं गत्वा कथयामास विस्तरात् । स्वर्भानुस्तस्य वृत्तांतं गौरीरूपं मनोहरम्

saṃpūjya preṣayāmāsa rāhuṃ naṃdī gaṇāgraṇīḥ | atha jālaṃdharaṃ gatvā kathayāmāsa vistarāt | svarbhānustasya vṛttāṃtaṃ gaurīrūpaṃ manoharam

Nandin, the foremost of the hosts, honoured Rāhu and sent him off. Then Svarbhānu went to Jālandhara and recounted at length the whole affair, and the enchanting beauty of Gaurī.
