Brahmā said: Listen, tiger among sages; today I shall surely tell you that deed of the Mother of the world, which took place thereafter. The Goddess said: "O you Śaktis, you goddesses, now by my command a dissolution is to be made here; there is to be no deliberating about it. Only when the goddess Girijā becomes gracious here will there be well-being, and not otherwise, by ten million efforts." And the seers, beginning with you, went to Śivā's presence; all of them then propitiated Śivā, so that her wrath might be stilled. Brahmā said: Having spoken thus, all the seers, exceedingly wretched and distressed, then stood before Caṇḍikā with their palms joined. And then, bringing that head there, they surely fixed it on; and when all the deities — Śiva, Viṣṇu, Brahmā — had joined it on...
