At the bidding of Śiva, Viṣṇu and other gods, the noble sages and others, O sage, kept you and mountains at the head and started for the abode of Himavat. They were surprised to see the wonderful abode. The delighted Śiva reached the outskirts of the city (haimāga-pura) accompanied by Viṣṇu and others as well as his delighted Gaṇas”.
