Baal Kaanda
22 - Parvati's unique fidelity as revealed through Her test by the seven seers
Chaupais
riṣinha gauri dēkhī tahaom kaisī. mūratimaṃta tapasyā jaisī..
bōlē muni sunu sailakumārī. karahu kavana kārana tapu bhārī..
[1-77-1]
kēhi avarādhahu kā tumha cahahū. hama sana satya maramu kina kahahū..
kahata bacata manu ati sakucāī. haomsihahu suni hamāri jaḍatāī..
[1-77-2]
manu haṭha parā na sunai sikhāvā. cahata bāri para bhīti uṭhāvā..
nārada kahā satya sōi jānā. binu paṃkhanha hama cahahiṃ uḍaānā..
[1-77-3]
dēkhahu muni abibēku hamārā. cāhia sadā sivahi bharatārā..
[1-77-4]
Description
There the seers saw Gaurs (a name of Parvati; lit., fair-complexioned) as if she were penance itself personified.The sages said, Hear, O daughter of Himcala: why are you practising such rigorous penance? Whom do you worship and what do you seek? Why not confide to us the real secret? I feel very shy in making my submission. You will be amused to hear of my folly. Yet my mind has taken a rigid attitude and heeds no advice; it would raise a wall on water. Relying on the truth of Nradas prophecy, I long to fly even without wings. Look at my madness; I always covet Siva as my husbandÊ. (1-4)
