समाहूता ययौ तत्र पुण्ये हैमवते गिरौ । ब्रह्माजीने एक बार फिर पुण्यमय हिमालयपर्वतपर यज्ञ किया था। उस समय उनके आवाहन करनेपर भगवती सरस्वतीने विमलोदका नामसे प्रसिद्ध होकर वहाँ पदार्पण किया था
samāhūtā yayau tatra puṇye haimavate girau |
Waiśampāyana berkata: Ketika dipanggil, ia pergi ke sana—ke gunung Himavat yang suci. Saat Brahmā kembali mengadakan yajña di Himavat, atas panggilannya Dewi Sarasvatī menampakkan diri di sana dan termasyhur dengan nama Vimalodakā.

Sacred acts performed with proper invocation and reverence are portrayed as drawing divine presence; the epithet Vimalodakā underscores the ethical-religious ideal of inner and outer purification through contact with the sacred.
The narrator states that, upon being summoned, the goddess (understood as Sarasvatī) goes to the holy Himalayan mountain; the surrounding context explains that during Brahmā’s sacrifice there, she appeared and became celebrated as Vimalodakā.
