By him was this city Alakā enjoyed, which had been built by the maker of the world — having formerly propitiated the god Tryambaka with most fierce austerity, fixing his mind upon the liṅga that stood there in the form of Sthāṇu.

Do you make for me the splendour of austerity." The Goddess said: "Child, may your devotion to Bhava be spotless always; O Bhava, he is one-eyed-tawny, with his left eye burst."
