Vāyu said:: “(It is the place) where formerly the sons of Brahmā called Kumāras viz. Sanandana, Sanaka and Sanātana had gone. Kapila was their leader. Āsuri of great fame, the Sage Pañcaśikha and others like them went there. After the lapse of some time, when cycles of Kalpas had been completed, when the Pralaya (Deluge) causing the end of the great Bhūtas (Elements) was imminent, many crores of Rudras approached gracious Māheśvarī.
