English translation
Shattering of the Pride of Parvatl Krsna said- HimavSn adored Siva and then with his permission and the permission of all, he took a seat at a distance from him. He performed pQjd of Siva with a devoted mind offering madhuparka and other things ahd also the sages and the attendants of Siva.
In the meantime Mena also arrived there with other ladies and she found Siva seated there under the banana tree who was delightful wearing a smile on his face, clad in tiger skin and seated among the sages, with divine lustre that of like which the moon appears among the stars in the sky. He had the glory of crores of suns and was quite blissful.
At that point of time ^iva had shed away his old age and was appearing quite youthful. He looked quite beautiful, charming and was liked by the ladies.
gsTR eKwi f tiu i i r -p rziti cRTdldnHRR RRlTcbT^I He looked like the passion for the passionate women and bestower of sons to the chaste women, Mahavisnu for Vaisnavas, Sadasiva for Saivas, the form of sakti for those who believed in Sakti, the form of sun who believes in the sum worship, the death for wicked people, preserver for the noble people, death for the time and destruction for all the types of destruction's. His tiger skin was turned into charming garments.
The ashes were turned into sandal-paste, the snakes were turned into beautiful garlands the kdlakuta-poison was turned into kasturl and the beautiful matted locks of hair were turned into tuft. The crescent on the head was turned into sandal-paste and the stream of Gahga was turned into a beautiful garland of jasmine flowers, the garland of bones was turned into a garland of diamonds and the flowers of wood apple trees were turned into campaka flowers.
In place of five faces only one face could be seen which had only two eyes. The face had the lustre of the full moon of the winter season and was glittering. His lips could put to shame the lustre of the mid-day and his lips added to the beauty of his face. The bull Nandi was burnt into the white moon and the goblins were turned into dancers. O goddess, everything of Siva was changed at that moment. Finding Siva in that form, Mena felt pleased. Some of the damsels got infatuated with passion while looking at Siva and started staring at him. While some of them fainted with the excessive passions.
Some of them started praising Siva denouncing their husbands and some of them mentally embraced him.
RHR RrfTRHRt RR R RHRRFI^I 1 11 Some of the damsels mentally kissed him saying that they would enjoy passionate pleasure with him.
RjfPTRt RR RiT^ I 11 They desired that they should get the same type of husband even after death because in that state of mind there, their condition was of no use to them. They thought that their devoted husbands were of no use to them. Staring at Siva for such a long time, many of the damsels started expressing their views about $iva variously.
Some of them covered their faces in shyness with a piece of cloth smiling at the same time.
They were looking at him with side-glances.
Some of them were saying, "we shall not return to our abodes now and shall go to ^iva and stare at his moon like face which resembles the full moon of the winter season throughout day and night.
Now we shall not get ourselves involved in the worldly affairs or we shall enter into burning flames, only ^iva could be our husband. Many of the damsels were talking like this.
They said, "Durga is quite virtuous and her birth in the land of BhSrata is quite auspicious because she is going to be wedded to ^iva. Some of the damsels were talking among themselves like this. Mena on the other hand having an audience with ^iva delightfully went back to her abode. Himalaya also adored Siva and bowing in reverence to him went back to his abode.
Thereafter Himalaya in consultation with Mena in a secluded place deputed Parvatl to Siva.
qraijTfin qnrPT i? ^ 11 Parvatl accompanied by her female friends decorating herself delightfully went to Siva.
iq Tfflqpq qTTcni;i xT qtqf g TO TOII? o 11 Finding the peaceful ^iva with a smiling face, she went round him seven times and smilingly offered her salutation to him. Siva at that point of time blessing her said, "0 beautiful one, you achieve an extremely loveable, virtuous, eternal, the best of intellectuals and the beautiful person as your husband. O auspicious one, you would always remain virtuous and filled with fortunes concerning the husband. O chaste damsel, your son would be as virtuous as NarSyapa himself, O mother of the universe, you will be adored always in the world, you will be best of all the ladies in the three worlds. O beautiful one, you have offered salutation to me after going round seven times, therefore I feel satisfied with you for seven births. You will reap the reward for the same, the one who adores the holy places, the husband, the family god, the teacher, the mantra
and the medicine with whatever idea in mind, he achieves success in the same way. Thus speaking Siva the lord of the yogis went into meditation seated on the skin of the tiger.
Thereafter the goddess washed the feet of ^iva with water and sipped it with devotion and rinsed the feet with the costumes sanctified by fire. She then offered to him the lion-throne studded with gems and made by Vis'vakarmS. Then she offered him naivedya in the bronze vase. Than she offered arghya with the water of Gahga. She also offered the sandal-paste, kastUrl and saffron which were filled with fragrance. Thereafter she adorned his neck which looked beautiful with, spot of the poison, with the garland of jasmine T g oii r riRg i Rfr Rfii^oii She adored him with devotion and showered flowers on him. Thereafter she offered nectar and sweet honey in vases of gold. She lighted hundreds of lamps around him. Burning fragrant incense around him, she offered him the costumes which were difficult to get in the three worlds beside a yajnopavtta of gold and fragrant cool water for drinking. She offered him the
ornaments made of the best of gem, KSmadhenu cow with her hom adorned with plates of gold, articles for use in taking a bath, water from the sacred places and charming betels.
Thus she performed sixteen types of puja of and bowed in reverence to him again and again. This became her daily routine. She used to offer pGja to Siva daily with devotion and then returned to the abode of her parents.
Indra the god of gods heard about the news from the mouth of the apsar&s and he also got attracted towards Parvatl. He started dancing in ecstasy. Indra at once summoned the god of love by sending a messenger to him. Kamadeva, on his part, arrived in AmarSvatl, the kingdom of He deputed the god of love at once to the place of ^iva and Parvatl. Kamadeva arrived with his five arrows at the place where both ^iva and Parvatl were present.
