Dear Dhaval,

the verse of KP is 67.57:

The Goddess Yoganidrā having been concealed in me [Śiva], myself having the form of a mountain, and the female organ [yoni] of the goddess having been fallen on that mountain, the mountain turned into dark blue.  (trans. B. Shastri [1991] 2008)

Best,
Paolo

Dear indologists,

I am looking for Puranic references that link together Shiva, the blue colour and the mountain.

E.g.: in Kalikapurana is narrated that Nilacala turned its colour into blue because of the touch of the yoni, although the mountain was already identified with Shiva (and its linga) -- thus it may be (probably) assumed/hypothesised that the association between blue and Shiva was provoked by the shakti of the Goddess.

An exact reproduction of verses mentioning this episode will shed more light on it. That may also help one search for similar episodes in other puranas, if any.
