Sūta said: In. that mansion of Śiva there are many apartments decorated with garlands of never-fading flowers of different colours. There are many raised platforms (Maṇḍapas) of different shapes and sizes with crystal columns. The leading goblins (Bhūtas) adored by Brahmā, Indra and Upendra stay there. There are many Pramathas with their faces resembling those of boars, elephants, lions, bears, tigers, camels, vultures, owls, deer, humped bulls and goats. They are stout and huge like great mountain peaks. They are terrible with having huge arms. Some have green hairs on their heads. They are of different shapes and sizes. They are seated in all possible postures and positions. There are splendid Gaṇas such as Nandīśvara, with bright beaming faces and spotless character. They possess supernatural qualities and they resemble Brahmā, Indra and Viṣṇu. The place is never devoid of crowds of immortal beings, (i.e. Devas) who worship the lord of Bhūtas (i.e. Śiva) there, always.
