शैलराजो महारण्ये तपस्विशरणं परम्। शंकरश्वशुरो नाम्ना हिमवानिति विश्रुतः॥ महाप्रस्रवणोपेतो बहुकन्दरनिर्झरः। स समर्थस्तव प्रीतिमतुलां कर्तुमर्हति ॥

English Meaning
There is a monarch of mountains in a mighty forest,—the great refuge of asceticism, the worker of the weal (of all), an Asura, celebrated by the name of Himavān containing great cascades and furnished with many fountains and caves. He can compass your incomparable pleasure.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
