Śiva made the oblation in the fire with the mantras of the Ṛg, Yajus and Sāma; Kālī's brother named Maināka gave the handful of parched grain. There arose a great cry of "Alas! Alas!" everywhere there, O Nārada, and all the people trembled — the Upholder of the universe comes as terror. "Blessed are we, O Great Lord, by the mere sight of you; O Śambhu, giver of joy to steadfast devotees, show mercy. To the indefinable, the eternal, to him whose form is a flash of lightning, to the fire-coloured god Śaṃkara, homage, homage!" Brahmā said: Thus having spoken, all of them and the Bālakhilyas, bowing to Śaṃkara, swiftly went to Mount Gandhamādana.
