On the western bank of the Nandā[5], a little towards the South there is the city Rudrapurī. It is full of many mansions. In these also Lord Śiva assuming hundreds of forms sports about along with Umā and the Gaṇas. It is called Śivālaya (abode of Śiva). Thus there are hundreds and thousands of shrines of Śiva in every Dvīpa, O excellent sages, on the mountains, in the forests, on the banks of rivers, lakes and on. the junctions of waters.
