Harivamsha Purana
"I thought you were Matanga, but I am Hiranyavati. This is the method of achieving the goal in the Matanga Vidya." (130)
"She, having lost her beloved, is withered, her heart is filled with sorrow. This girl wants to bind you with her arms, she wants to embrace you." (131)
Saying this, Hiranyavati pointed to the nearby Nila-yasha and said, "Look, this is the same girl, Nila-yasha, who is withered because she did not get you, who steals hearts. This girl wants to bind you with her arms, she wants to embrace you." (131)
Having said this to the Kumar, Hiranyavati also said to the nearby Nila-yasha, "This is your beloved, touch his hand with your hand." (132)
Thus, having received Hiranyavati's permission, the maiden Nila-yasha took the Kumar Vasudeva's outstretched hand in her own. At that time, both of them were sweating from their bodies due to their touch. (133)
Their love-tree was watered by the water of the pleasure of their bodily touch, therefore it was revealing its hard shoots under the guise of excitement. (134)
Both of them were filled with affection, therefore their first hand-grasping happened at that time, and the practical hand-grasping will happen later. (135)
After that, the entire group of Vidya-dharis, filled with joy, quickly flew up into the sky with Kumar Vasudeva and headed towards the north. (136)
The group of Vidya-dharis, destroying the lineage of darkness with the brilliance of ornaments and medicines, was shining in the sky like a group of lightning. (137)
Just as Kumar Vasudeva had made Nila-yasha's face radiant with his mere touch, in the same way, the sun had also made the face of the woman in the east radiant with its rays. (138)
At that time, the half-risen red sun in the east looked as if it were the red lower lip of the woman in the east, half-bitten by the youth of the day. (139)
A little later, when the sun's disc rose fully, it looked as if it were a golden earring adorning the face of the woman in the east. (140)
Just as Kumar Vasudeva, who illuminated the world, quickly made the sky and the earth clear and his gaze spread towards them, (141)
then Hiranyavati said to Vasudeva, "O Kumar! Look at the high mountain below on the earth, surrounded by the trees of the great forest. People call that beautiful mountain Himanta Giri. This mountain also makes the shy man ashamed." (142)
