[...] Viṣṇu, Indra and I as well as the gods prostrated on the ground (daṇḍavatpatita) [daṇḍavatpatitā bhūmau] and went round Kumāra. In the meantime Śiva, and Pārvatī highly delighted and jubilant came there and saw their son. On seeing his son, the great lord Śiva, the sole kinsman of the universe along with the great goddess Pārvatī was filled with pleasure and love—the lord who wore snakes on his body and was surrounded by the Pramathas. [...]”.
