[...] A certain lady engaged in fanning (sucāmarakara) her husband in the company of her maid left that job and came out to see Śiva with the fan still in her hands. Another lady engaged in suckling her babe at her breast left him dissatisfied and came out eagerly to see the lord. Another lady engaged in trying her waist girdle came out with it. Another lady came out with garments worn inside out. [...]”.
