"Child Nandin, greatly wise, whence is your fear of death? It was by me that the two brahmins were sent; you are equal to me, no doubt. Whoever, having come to Pañcanada, bathed, muttered (the name of) the Lord of lords, and worshipped, goes indeed to union with Śiva, no doubt." Nandīśvara said: Hearing thus the words of those attendants who spoke of heroism, the Supreme Lord, praising them, spoke to those lords of the hosts. And there my marriage was performed by the command of the Highest One, attended by a great festival, with joy, by Viṣṇu, Brahmā and the others. Ever-desired, distinguished, endowed with supreme lordship, a great yogin, a great archer—he is (my) father, he is (my) grandfather. Then all these gods, Viṣṇu and the rest, praising, went with joy to their own abodes, lauding Śiva, the auspicious one.
