When Tripurāntaka arrived together with his gaṇas and the seven brahmarṣis, the excellent mountain at once appeared thrilled with rapture, its mind delighted.

FAQs
Bhakti is shown as available through simple, pure offerings (water, fruits, roots), emphasizing sincerity and purity over extravagance; even “nature” (the mountain) models reverent responsiveness to the divine.
This is best classified as dharma/ācāra (ritual devotion) and tīrtha-māhātmya-style glorification; it supplements the Purāṇic aims beyond the five strict lakṣaṇas.
The mountain’s ‘horripilation’ personifies sacred landscape as spiritually sentient; Śiva’s arrival with gaṇas and seven seers frames a cosmic liturgy where geography, sages, and divine attendants converge in a single act of worship.
