Then Menå and her consort Himavån rejoiced and bowed at Pårvat∂ís feet again
and again. All the citizens, including men, women and children, youngmen as well as
elderly people, were immensely delighted. Festive songs began to be sung in the city;
vases of gold of every pattern were displayed by all. Dishes of various kinds were
prepared in accordance with the processes given in gastrological works. Is it ever
possible to describe the varieties of dishes prepared in the house where lived Mother
Bhavån∂? Himåcala respectfully summoned all the members of the bridegroomís party,
including Viƒu, Brahmå and other gods of all classes. The dinner guests sat in many
rows; and expert cooks began to serve. Finding the gods dining, batches of women
began to banter and rail at them in pleasant strains.

Charming women railed in sweet strains and poured innuendoes. The gods felt
much amused to hear them and dined for an unusually long time. The joy that swelled
at the dinner cannot be described even with millions of tongues. Having been served with
water for rinsing their mouths at the end of the dinner, they were given betel-leaves; and
then they returned to their respective lodgings.

The seven sages called once more and read out to Himavån the note recording
the time fixed for the wedding; and perceiving that the hour had arrived, the latter sent
for the gods. (99)
