श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — पार्वतीखण्डअथ सप्तत्रिंशोऽध्यायः
After the Seven Sages and Arundhatī have departed with Śiva's assent for the wedding, Nārada asks Brahmā what Himālaya did next. Brahmā narrates how the joyful mountain-king, having taken counsel with his brothers Meru and the rest, had his priest Garga draw up the wedding-invitation letter and dispatched it, together with abundant gifts, to Śiva on Kailāsa; the messengers were received with special honour and returned rejoicing. Himālaya then summoned kinsfolk from every land and had vast stores gathered for the wedding — mountains, indeed pools, of rice, jaggery, sugar, salt, milk, ghee, curds, sweets of every kind, fresh butter and spirituous drinks, cooked delicacies, relishes, priceless and fire-purified cloth, gems, gold and silver. On the appointed auspicious day he began the rites, while the wives of the mountains adorned themselves and performed Pārvatī's toilet, and the city's women carried out the customary observances amid great festivity. Brahmā then recounts, mountain by mountain, the arrival of Devālaya, Mandara, Astācala, Udayācala, Malaya, Dardura, Niṣada, Gandhamādana, Karavīra, Mahendra, Pāriyātra, Krauñca, Puruṣottama, Nīla, Trikūṭa, Citrakūṭa, Veṅkaṭa, Śrīgiri, Gokāmukha, Nārada, Vindhya, Kālañjara and, most splendid of all, Kailāsa itself, each bearing gifts and retinues, all knowing this was the wedding of Śiva and Śivā. Rivers too — Śoṇabhadrā and her kin, and then Godāvarī, Yamunā, Brahmastrī, Veṇikā, Gaṅgā and Narmadā, daughter of Rudra — arrived in divine form, adorned and delighted. As all of them thronged in from every side, Himālaya's city grew crowded and resplendent with festive banners and canopies; and Himālaya himself honoured each guest fittingly, lodging them in fine separate quarters and satisfying them fully with abundant provisions. सप्तर्षियों तथा अरुन्धतीके शिवजीकी अनुमति लेकर विवाहके लिये प्रस्थान करनेके पश्चात् नारदजी ब्रह्माजीसे पूछते हैं कि तत्पश्चात् हिमालयने क्या किया। ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं कि प्रसन्नचित्त पर्वतराज हिमालयने मेरु आदि भाइयोंसे परामर्श करके अपने पुरोहित गर्गसे लग्नपत्रिका लिखवायी और उसे प्रचुर भेंट-सामग्रीके साथ कैलासपर शिवजीके पास भिजवाया; दूतोंका विशेष सम्मान हुआ और वे प्रसन्नतापूर्वक लौट आये। हिमालयने तब सभी देशोंमें रहनेवाले बन्धुजनोंको निमन्त्रित किया और विवाहके लिये चावल, गुड़, शक्कर, नमक, दूध, घी, दही, नाना प्रकारकी मिठाइयाँ, ताजा मक्खन तथा आसव, पकवान, व्यंजन, अमूल्य एवं अग्निशुद्ध वस्त्र, मणि-रत्न, सोना-चाँदी आदिके पहाड़ों-सी राशियाँ एकत्र करवायीं। नियत मंगल दिनमें उन्होंने मंगलकार्य आरम्भ किया, पर्वतोंकी पत्नियोंने पार्वतीका शृंगार-संस्कार किया तथा नगरकी स्त्रियोंने बड़े उत्सवके साथ लोकाचार सम्पन्न किये। इसके बाद ब्रह्माजी एक-एक करके देवालय, मन्दराचल, अस्ताचल, उदयाचल, मलय, दर्दुर, निषद, गन्धमादन, करवीर, महेन्द्र, पारियात्र, क्रौंच, पुरुषोत्तम, नील, त्रिकूट, चित्रकूट, वेंकट, श्रीगिरि, गोकामुख, नारद, विन्ध्य, कालंजर तथा सबसे बढ़कर कैलासके आगमनका वर्णन करते हैं, जो सब यह जानकर कि शिव-शिवाका विवाह है, भेंट-सामग्री तथा परिवारसहित हर्षपूर्वक आये। इसी प्रकार शोणभद्र आदि नद तथा गोदावरी, यमुना, ब्रह्मस्त्री, वेणिका, गंगा एवं रुद्रकन्या नर्मदा भी दिव्य रूप धारणकर अलंकृत होकर प्रसन्नतापूर्वक वहाँ आयीं। इन सबके आनेसे हिमालयकी पुरी खचाखच भर गयी और ध्वज-पताकाओं तथा वितानोंसे सुशोभित हो उठी; हिमालयने भी सभीका यथोचित सम्मान करके उन्हें अलग-अलग उत्तम स्थानोंमें ठहराया और अनेक सामग्रियोंसे पूर्णरूपसे सन्तुष्ट किया।

And of abundant fresh butter, and likewise of intoxicating drinks, and manifold heaps of cooked dishes, and most delicious juices.
NoteThe word 'ह्रासवानां' is legible but rare/unusual — it does not correspond to a standard dictionary form. It is kept as printed; the pairing with 'हैयङ्गवानां' (fresh butter) and the Hindi gloss ("आसव", spirituous drink) suggest it names some kind of beverage served at the feast.

maṅgalaṃ kartumārebhe girirmaṅgalakṛddine | saṃskāraṃ kārayāmāsuḥ pārvatyāḥ parvatastriyaḥ 17 ||
Doubtful readingThe compound ending 'कृद्दिने' (kṛt + dine, 'on the [auspicious-]making day') is printed with a conjunct that is hard to resolve at scan resolution between 'द्दि' and 'द्धि'. The reading 'कृद्दिने' is adopted here as the grammatically regular sandhi of kṛt + dine, matching the printed Hindi rendering 'मंगलकारी दिनमें'.
पर्वतराज हिमालयने मंगलकारी दिनमें मंगलकार्य आरम्भ किया, और पर्वतोंकी पत्नियोंने पार्वतीका शृंगार-संस्कार करना आरम्भ किया।
On the auspicious day, the mountain Himālaya began the auspicious rites, and the wives of the mountains had the adorning rite performed for Pārvatī.
