Parama艣iva performs his frequent penances at this place. 艢iva freely rambles for pleasure with his army of goblins in the caves and shades of trees in this place. Everyday the S膩dhyas, Rudras, Vi艣vadevat膩s, Vasus, Yama, Varu峁嘺, Bh奴tas, devils, N膩satyas, A艣vins, Gandharvas, celestial maidens, Yak峁s, Devar峁s, 膧dityas, Maruts, and Y膩tudh膩nas come to this mountain to worship 艢iva. There is neither heat nor cold here. Greying of hairs or rugosity is unknown here. There is no hunger or thirst either. None dies here. On the sides of this mountain gold lies spread like sunlight. (Verses 1-12 A艣vamedha Parva, Chapter 8).
