The wife of the mountain, by the grace of the goddess [i.e., devīprasāda—devyāḥ prasādataḥ] who had sympathetically stationed herself in the mind of the mountain, conceived. The beloved of the mountain, Menā, shone all the more by the presence of the goddess who bore the entire universe. She appeared as if she was in a brilliant sphere. [...]”.
