उमापि दुःखमापन्ना स्कन्दस्य विरहे सति ॥ उवाच स्वामिनं दीना तत्र गच्छ मया प्रभो ॥३१॥

Pārvatī became grief-stricken by separation from Skanda. She piteously told her lord. “O lord, let us go there.”

Śiva went to that mountain partially for her happiness. He assumed the pleasing form of Jyotirliṅga named Mallikārjuna.

Even now Śiva is seen there with Pārvatī satisfying the desires of his devotees. He is the goal of the good.
