27 - Siva's nuptials
Chaupais
Description
The mountain-king returned home at once and summoned all other mountains and lakes. Himavan greeted them with due attention, gifts, polite words and great honour and allowed them all to depart. No sooner had Sambhu reached Mount Kailasa than all the gods returned to their respective realms. Sambhu and Bhavani are the parents of the universe; hence I refrain from portraying their amorous sports. Indulging in luxuries and enjoyments of various kinds the divine pair lived on Mount Kailasa alongwith Their attendants. Hara and Girija enjoyed some new delight everyday. In this way a considerable time elapsed. Thereafter was born to them a boy with six heads, who (later on) killed the demon Taraka in battle. The story of ®anmukha (the six-headed deity) is well-known in the Vedas, Tantras and Puranas, and the entire world knows it.
