Marriage of Siva Sri Krsna said- Thereafter Siva made Parvatl to sit to his left side and performed the yajna according to the Vedic rites. O damsel of the pleasure of Vmdavana, after the completion of the yajna Siva gave away to the Brahmanas a hundred gold coins in daksina.

Thereafter the wives of the lord of mountains performed the welfare ceremonies took the newly wedded couple in the inner apartment.

All of them recited the slogan of victory of Siva and sprinkling divine water on the couple smilingly looked at Siva with side-glances. All of them became emotional at that time. After getting into the palace, all the damsels looked at the face of Siva who was looking with side glances. He looked quite graceful.

His costumes and ornaments were quite fine; he was decorated with the spots of vermilion; his fair complexion was putting to shame the lustre of the campaka flowers he appeared youthful from all his limbs and could attract even the minds of the ascetics. The sixteen chaste damsels SatarQpa and Sahjiia were present there. Besides them several daughters, of gods, Nagas and the ascetics also reached there, who could count the number of damsels present there at that time?

Siva took his seat on the gem-studded lion- throne delightfully and all the goddesses started offering prayer to Siva.

Savitri said- O Mahadeva we have got back Sat! who is dearer to you than your life delightfully at this time. Therefore O passionate one, you relieve the suffering of your mind while looking at the beauty of your beloved.

O lord of the death, you spend your time in union with her and with my blessing you will never be separated from her at any time.

Laksmi said- O lord of the gods, now shedding away shyness you embrace Satl. She is the one without whom, one feels deprived of his life, why should one feel shy in getting her.

Savitri said- O Siva you make Sati to take her food first and than you take your food. Don't worry; thereafter sipping dcamana you chew betel with camphor with great devotion.

giqi 4i?lI^T4q qlfel: I Jahnavl said- using the comb of gold you arrange the hair of Sati; there is no other pleasure greater than looking at the face of charming Sati.

tm tnr i 11 Rati said- "O god why did you bum out kama my husband without any reason? O virtuous one, for your own purpose you revive kdma back to life and remove my mental agony. O ocean of mercy, you are well-aware of the pain of separation of a couple. You had reduced to ashes my husband in anger.” Thus speaking she handed over the bundle of the ashes of kdma before him and spoke to Siva.

Thus speaking she started crying.

On hearing her cries Visnu, the ocean of mercy and Brahma beside other gods reached the palace and stood besides Siva.

Finding Siva, Brahma and Dharma there besides other gods present before him. Siva got ^ up with force and said, "Give me the command.” On hearing the words of Siva lord Visnu himself said, ”0 Rudra revive kdma back to life".

Thus speaking he left that place The damsels present there also made several types of prayers to Siva in this regard. Thereafter Siva looked at the bundle of ashes gracefully and with the nectar-like sight of Siva, Kamadeva emerged from the bundle of ashes.

Finding kdma having been revived she bowed in reverence to her husband as well as Mahesvara. At that point of time Kamadeva had the same beauty which he had possessed earlier and he wore a serene smile on his face, holding the bow and arrow in his hand.

He offered his prayer to lord Siva according to the scriptures. Than he came out and bowed in reverence to other gods.

The gods talked to him and then blessed him.

Who can prevent the destruction or the protection as destined.

Thereafter, Himalaya served food to all the gods including Narayana with great devotion and offered them the beds to sleep.

In the pleasure house Siva made Parvatl to be seated on his left and he took food with sweets in her company.

O Radha at that point of time Aditi the mother of gods talked to Siva and Parvatl in sweet words who had already taken their food.

Aditi said- O Indrani serve water to Siva for washing his hands and rinsing his mouth.

Because of my affection for the newdy wedded couple, you presently supply water to them.

Sad said- The purpose for which you had lamented embracing the body of Satl and had wandered in the entire universe, you have achieved back the same Satl.

Arundhatl said- Mena was not prepared to give away Parvati in marriage. I tried to convince her variously and have got you Satl, now you should enjoy the conjugal pleasures with her.

Ahalaya said- O lord, now disowning the old age, you have taken to the youthful form.

Therefore Mena had agreed to give her daughter TulasI said- O lord, you had disowned Satl earlier and also reduced to ashes, kdma then why did you send again Vasistha here.

Svaha said- O Mahadeva whatever is being told by the damsels at present you please listen to me attentively, it is quite common for the ladies to indulge in such loose talk.

Vasundhara said- O ^iva, a hungry or a passionate person cannot be satisfied without the articles of pleasures. You satisfy the damsel in anyway you like.

Sanjna said- O all knowledgeable ^iva you are well-aware of the sentiments of the passionate damsels. But Sati is unaware of enjoying the love-sports with her husband.

SatarQpa said- In secluded chamber placing the betel and the comfortable bed, both Parvati and ^iva should be sent delightfully.

Sri Krsna said- On listening to the pleasant and jovial words of the damsels, ^iva who happens to be the teacher of the yogis himself said- 0 goddesses you should not talk to me like that because all of you are pretty chaste and the mothers of the universe; than why do you become so talkative with the son.

RohinI said- O well-versed in the scriptures on love, fulfils the desire of Parvati. Becoming yourself passionate you cross over the ocean of passion by means of the damsel Parvati.

V ' raifffl ftgi HfeicTi: fi^itfer:i On hearing the words of ^iva all the damsels of the gods felt ashamed and getting upset kept Thereafter lord 6iva delightfully consumed the sweets rinsed his mouth and started chewing the betel with camphor.

He was then seated on the gem-studded lion throne provided to him by Mena and started looking at the bed-room which was illumining like hundreds of burning lamps. It had enough of vases of gems and pitchers filled with water, the mirrors studded with various types of gems and diamonds besides the white fly-whisks. It had enough of sandal-paste, aguru and flower spread on the beds.

The house was constructed by Visvakarma himself in which several types of paintings were decorated. It was built in the best of gems and was inlaid with precious gems.

In that house the abodes of the gods, charming Vaikuntha, Vmdavana, Kunjavana and Rdsamandala had been painted.

At places Kailasa, the abode of Indra and several other astonishing scene were painted, looking at which Siva was immensely pleased.

O lady of my life, at the time of down various types of musical instrument were played upon.

Dharma said- ”0 lord of the Pramathas you meet with welfare. Get up and reciting the name of Hari you move on with Parvatl for a journey.”.

O beloved of Vmdavana, on hearing the words of Dharma, Siva started his journey with Parvatl in Mahendra-yogu.

When Parvatl started on her journey with Siva.

Mena while sobbing spoke to compassionate Mena said- O merciful one, kindly maintain my daughter carefully, you are the lord who is easily pleased; therefore you forgive her for her follies. This daughter of mine is devoted at your feet for many births. Except Mahadeva as her lord, she does not think of anyone else even in Hearing about your devotion she becomes overwhelmed and the tears start flowing from her eyes. O conqueror of the death at your denouncement, she keeps mum like a dead When Mena was so speaking Himalaya also reached there and embracing his daughter started crying aloud. He said- "O daughter, where are you going deserting the house of Himalaya? I am reminded of your qualities again and again and my heart feels shattered at the moment Thus speaking Himalaya entrusted the care of Parvatl to Siva and started weeping loudly. At that point of time the merciful lord Narayana with the

Parvatl bowed in reverence to the parents and the teacher with devotion, She is the form of illusion and therefore influenced with Parvati also started crying aloud, when Parvatl was crying all other ladies followed her.

No one was able to count the number of damsels present there. All those ladies made the newly added couple to enter the pleasure-house.

Parvatl was made to sit on the gem-studded lion-throne. Siva than took round Parvatl in the earlier house of Sat! and asked her. O Satl, are you remembering when you come here from the house of your father at this place. At that point of time you are the daughter of Daksa and presently you are the daughter of the king of the mountains. You remember the happening of the earlier birth. In case you remember them all, then tell me.
