ពេលគិរិជា មហាសតី ចុះមក នោះទេវអសុរ (ដៃត្យ) ទាំងឡាយត្រូវភ័យចូលគ្រប់គ្នា។ ខណៈដែលក្រុមទេវតា និងមហារិសិ—ជាមួយចារ៉ណា និងក្រុមសិទ្ធ—ពោរពេញដោយសេចក្តីរីករាយ។
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), in narration to the sages (contextual attribution within Māheśvara Khaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Himālaya-Girijā-janma/avataraṇa-bhūmi (contextual within Kedāra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: (Contextual) pilgrims/sages in Kedāra narrative frame
Scene: Girijā’s radiant descent into the Himalayan realm; daityas recoiling in shadow; devas, maharṣis, cāraṇas, and siddhas celebrating in the sky with garlands and hymns.
