Verse 13.15

तत्र देवो मया दृष्ट उमया सहितः प्रभुः। सव्यं चक्षुर्मया दैवात्तत्र देव्यां निपातितम् ॥ कान्वेषेति महाराज न खल्वन्येन हेतुना। रूपं चानुपमं कृत्वा रुद्राणी तत्र तिष्ठति ॥

tatra devo mayā dṛṣṭa umayā sahitaḥ prabhuḥ| savyaṃ cakṣurmayā daivāttatra devyāṃ nipātitam || kānveṣeti mahārāja na khalvanyena hetunā| rūpaṃ cānupamaṃ kṛtvā rudrāṇī tatra tiṣṭhati ||

English Meaning

There I saw that lord of the gods in company with Umā. There I happened to cast my left eye on the goddess, for ‘knowing, O mighty king, who she was, and not for any other reason. Rudrāņi was staying then, wearing a surpassing form.
