Śivā (the goddess Pārvatī) also became very pleased upon hearing the praises offered by the gods. Realizing the reason behind it, she then remembered her own Lord, Śiva.

Umā said: O Viṣṇu, O, Brahmā, O Gods and sages who are free from sorrow and pain ye listen to my words. I am delighted undoubtedly.
