kaha muni bihasi gūḍha mṛdu bānī. sutā tumhāri sakala guna khānī..
 

suṃdara sahaja susīla sayānī. nāma umā aṃbikā bhavānī..
  [1-66-1]

saba lacchana saṃpanna kumārī. hōihi saṃtata piyahi piārī..
 

sadā acala ēhi kara ahivātā. ēhi tēṃ jasu paihahiṃ pitu mātā..
  [1-66-2]

hōihi pūjya sakala jaga māhīṃ. ēhi sēvata kachu durlabha nāhīṃ..
 

ēhi kara nāmu sumiri saṃsārā. triya caḍhahahiṃ patibrata asidhārā..
  [1-66-3]

saila sulacchana sutā tumhārī. sunahu jē aba avaguna dui cārī..
 

aguna amāna mātu pitu hīnā. udāsīna saba saṃsaya chīnā..
  [1-66-4]


Description

The sage smilingly replied in the following soft yet significant words: “Your daughter is a mine of all virtues—pretty, amiable and intelligent by nature. She will be called UmŒ, AmbikŒ (lit., mother) and BhavŒns. Adorned with all good traits, the girl shall win the unfailing love of her husband.She shall remain ever united with her lord and bring glory to her parents. She shall command the respect of the whole universe; he who waits upon her shall lack nothing. By the mere thought of her name women in this world shall be enabled to tread the path of fidelity to their lord, which is sharp as the edge of a sword. Your daughter, O HimŒlaya, is endowed with auspicious marks. Hear now the few drawbacks she possesses. Devoid of merits, free from pride, without father or mother, unconcerned and free from doubts— (1—-4)
