O Rāma, as that sacred one plunged upon Rudra's holy head of tangled locks, resembling Himavat she could by no means reach the earth, despite all her endeavours; nor did she obtain egress from under the matted locks. And she wandered there for many a year.
सा तस्मिन् पतिता पुण्या पुण्ये रुद्रस्य मूर्धनि॥ हिमवत्प्रतिमे राम जटामण्डलगह्वरे। सा कथंचिन्मही गन्तुं नाशक्नोद् यत्नमास्थिता॥ नैव सा निर्गमं लेभे जटामण्डलमन्ततः। तत्रैवाबभ्रमद् देवी संवत्सरगणान् बहून्॥
