608) Offer your profuse (repeated) homage to that Hara (God Siva), who at the time of performing his evening prayers was (now and then) looking with half-opened eyes (at Pârvatī) (i. e. stealing glances at her) and who thereby broke the seal of silence put on (her mouth) by the angry Pārvati!
609) Offer your salutation to Hara (God Siva), who, when Gauri was frightened by the very loud laughter in which he indulged, and when her disc-like face was beaten back (i.e. sur
