English translation
Shattering of the Prides of Parvatl Sri Krspia said- You have listened to the episode of the shattering of the pride of Siva.
Now you listen from me to the episode of the shattering of the pride of Durga.
The goddess who emerged out of the lustre of all the gods took to the form of Mohinl once.
By killing the great demons she protected the gods. Thereafter she was bom out of the womb of the wife of Dak§a.
She then accepted Siva the holder of bow who always performed the tasks of gods as her husband. Satl continued to serve her husband with devotion.
At once by a turn of destiny, in the assembly of the gods, Daksa became uselessly inimical to After returning from the assembly Daksa organised a yajna in which all the gods except Siva were invited.
All the gods went to the abode of Dak§a with their spouses but $iva together with his attendants did not attend the yajm because of anger and pride.
Satl tried to convince ^iva of participating in the yajha due to the illusion, but she could not persuade him to go there. Thereafter she herself went there.
She went to the place of Daksa of her own sweet will without the permission of ^iva and the pride of Satl was shattered because of the curse.
On her arrival in the hose of her father. Daksa did not welcome her. He did not welcome her even with of a few words. Then hearing the denouncement of her husband, she ended her life O my beloved thus the pride of Satl, was shattered by me. How I tell you the story as to how her pride after having been bom as PSrvatl was shattered. You listen to me.
After ending her life as Satl, she was bom from the womb of Mena, the wife of Himavan.
Siva on the other hand infatuated with the love of Satl plastered the ashes of her pyre on his body.
He made a garland of her bones and wore it round his neck. The ashes of her body served as a decoration of the body of Siva. He. reciting the name of Satl started roaming about everywhere.
fg a if i n wyg fir On the other hand, Mena gave birth to a beautiful goddess, the comparison of whom could not be found in the creation of Brahma.
r cifo fl ^ irt 5Pi3ifq;i She was the mother of all the virtues and possessed all the virtues in her. All the spouses of the gods could not be compared even to the one sixteenth part of her beauty. As the moon goes on increasing in the bright fortnight similarly the goddess started growing in the house of Himalaya day by day. When she achieved the youthful age, there was a divine voice from the sky with spoke addressing her, "O Siva you achieve Siva by performing great tapas because without performing tapas it would be difficult for you to achieve him and to conceived from him". On hearing the divine voice, Parvatl was filled with pride of her youthfulness laughed and then kept quiet. She started thinking within herself that the one who has applied ashes of her body on his is body and is also adorning his body with the garland her my bones why should he not accept me on her becoming an adult.
rr?Tt3R:i The one who in spite of being so intelligent went on roaming about the universe because of the grief stricken-heart why should he not own her, because she is so beautiful at present.
The compassionate one who destroyed the yajna of Dak$a for her sake, why should he not accept her as his wife who has always been adoring her in various births.
The one who was the husband and the one who was the wife in earlier births how can there be a difference on earth. No one could change the destiny.
Having been with pride because of her beauty and virtues, P3rvatl did not performed tapes not did she consider Siva as a lord.
She thought, “There was no other lady comparable to me in beauty". Thus thinking she did not performed tapas.
She thought that every body likes to have a damsel who is youthful, beautiful and clad in beautiful garments. Therefore ^iva would surely accept her as his wife when she performs tapas.
Thus thinking, Giraja remaining in the abode of her father Himavan, spent her time with her female friends and did not go for tapas.
In the meantime messengers arrived in the assembly of the lord of mountains and spoke in The messengers said- O lord of the mountain, you get up and move towards the eternal banyan tree. Lord Siva mounted on the bull is staying there under the tree with his attendants.

On hearing the words of the messenger, the eyes of goddess Parvatl felt delighted. She thought in her mind that the lord had arrived there for her sake only.
She clad herself in beautiful ganrienls and then adorned herself with the best of gem-studded ornaments and the garland of diamonds.
She then prepared a garland of Parijata flowers and soaked it with sandal-paste for the sake of Siva.

He was smiling when he reached the bank of the charming Gahga.
nqrwuR-i Holding a rosary he was reciting my name and his head was adorned with matted locks of hair having the complexion of molten gold. He was mounted on a bull, holding a trident in his hand.
The Nagas served as his yajnopavUa and the lustre of the limbs of bodies resembled the crystal.

He had no garments on his person, was five-faced having three eyes in each one of them, all his limbs emitted the lustre of crores of suns. Himavan found the eleven Rudras surrounding him who were illumining with divine lustre.

Then prostrating on the ground he stood before him with folded hands. Thereafter, touching his feet he started washing them with her tears. At that point of time he felt overwhelmed with emotions and the tears started flowing from his eyes. He thereafter started offering prayer to ^iva with the stotra given to him by Dharma.
