Then you were honoured by that great-souled mountain, and, seated on an excellent seat, you asked after his welfare. Brahmā said: Having heard your words thus, O sage, that daughter of the mountain, Kālī, sighing a little, spoke to you joyfully with folded hands. Brahmā said: Having thus spoken to Kālī then, O Nārada, you, dear to Śiva, went at your own will to heaven, intent on the good of the gods.
