Somadeva Bhatta, active 11th century and Tawney, C. H. (Charles Henry)
May the water of Śiva’s sweat, fresh from the embrace of Gaurí,1 which the god of love when afraid of the fire of Śiva’s eye, employs as his aqueous weapon, protect you.
Listen to the following tale of the Vidyádharas, which the excellent Gaṇa Pushpadanta heard on mount Kailása from the god of the matted locks, and which Káṇabhúti heard on the earth from the same Pushpadanta after he had become Vararuchi, and which Guṇáḍhya heard from Káṇabhúti, and Sátaváhana heard from Guṇáḍhya.
