How did Menā and the lord of the mountain (Himālaya) perform the highest austerity? How did she become his daughter, born of Menā, dear father — tell that. Sometimes she took no food, sometimes she held to a vow; sometimes she fed on air, sometimes she was a drinker of water. Then Menakā, having attained great knowledge, praised Kālikā, Śivā, with cherished words, in devotion, (the goddess) who had come into visible presence. Brahmā said: Then Durgā, Kālikā, thus praised, spoke once again to the goddess Menakā: "Choose what you desire." Brahmā said: Having spoken thus, Kālikā, the mother of the world, the supreme mistress, Śivā, vanished there itself while Menakā looked on. She gave gifts to the twice-born and bestowed wealth on others too; between Śivā and Śiva's feet there was exceeding love in those two.
