Sūta said: The lord of the mountains celebrated her post-natal and other rites. When she attained twelfth year she performed a penance. Along with her, her younger sister of splendid face too performed the penance. Both the sisters were different entities. She was bowed to by all the worlds. The sages surrounded her and eulogised her for her penance. She was called Aparṇā and her younger sister of splendid face was called Ekaparṇā.[1] The third excellent sister was Ekapāṭalā. The supreme lord Śiva was captivated by her penance.
