/ > Ākhaṇḍala is in Virgo, and Pārvatī likewise in Libra.
/ > And Durgā is in the ingress into Libra, when it is extra;

"Then the lord Hara, riding his bull and traveling in the sky with Umā, looked down and saw the weeping son of the rākṣasa.
"And to please Pārvatī, the undecaying, inexhaustible Mahādeva made him immortal and gave him a city that travels through the sky.
