[...] The lord of the mountains gave monetary gifts to brahmins and lords. He made the brahmins recite auspicious hymns, as part of the festivities. The parents delighted with their daughter; the brothers and the sisters gathered joyfully in the courtyard (prāṅgaṇa), O sage. The happy and delighted Himavat, honoured everyone (sammānya). Then he went to the Gaṅgā for his bath. [...]”.
