Sanskrit Original
स्वं देवश्चाद्भुतं दिव्यं निर्मितं विश्वकर्मणा। मुकुटं चाबबन्धेशो मम मूर्ध्नि वृषध्वजः।।
svaṃ devaścādbhutaṃ divyaṃ nirmitaṃ viśvakarmaṇā| mukuṭaṃ cābabandheśo mama mūrdhni vṛṣadhvajaḥ||
Nandīśvara said: On seeing the river Trisrotas the bull (vehicle of Śiva) was extremely delighted. It bellowed. From that bellowing sound another river originated. That river was called “Vṛṣadhvani” by the lord of Devas. The bull-emblemed lord placed on my head his divine golden crown that was made by Viśvakarman, studded with all jewels, and that was variegated auspicious and wonderful. Mahādeva, Maheśvara himself fitted in my ears his splendid divine ear-rings bedecked with diamonds and Lapis Lazuli.
