अथ विष्णुरहं धाता शक्राद्या अमरास्तथा ॥ मुनयश्च महाप्रीत्या निखिलास्सोत्सवा मुदा ॥ ११ ॥

Then Viṣṇu, I the creator, Indra and other gods as well as the sages joined in jubilation with great pleasure.

Then after bowing humbly to Pārvatī with devotion and remembering the lotus-like feet of Śiva they returned to their camps obtaining the permission of Himavat.

In the meantime Garga, a great expert in the science of astrology, spoke to Himavat, the lord of mountains.

Garga said: O Himavat, O lord, O father of Pārvatī, now fetch Śiva to your palace for the marriage rites.

Brahmā said: On realising that the auspicious time for the marriage rites had been intimated by Garga, the mountain rejoiced much.
