The sages hear Parvati's answer and delight rises within them. Love and faith stand revealed not as stubbornness but as a clear knowledge no ridicule or clever argument can disturb.
They bow their heads before Bhavani. The test has ended, and nothing remains to be purified in her resolve.
Then the seven turn toward Himachal. Their journey carries confirmation from the forest to the father's house, where anxious preparation can finally become wedding joy. The long test has returned a verdict of love, and the mountain road brightens beneath their feet.
Seven sages leave Parvati's feet and carry her unshaken love toward the mountain king.

हियँ हरषे मुनि बचन सुनि देखि प्रीति बिस्वास।। चले भवानिहि नाइ सिर गए हिमाचल पास।।90।।
The sages were delighted at heart, hearing her words and seeing the depth of her love and faith. Bowing their heads to Bhavani, they departed and went to Himachala.
