Chaupais
Description
Drooping at the thought of the unyielding bow of Siva, She proceeded with the image of the swarthy form in Her heart. When the Lord perceived that Janaka's Daughter, a fountain of bliss, affection, grace and goodness, was going, He sketched Her on the sheet of His heart with the soft ink of supreme love. Sita then sought Bhavani's temple and, adoring Her feet, prayed to Her with joined palms: "Glory, all glory to You, O Daughter of the mountain-king ! Glory to You, who gaze on the countenance of the great Lord Siva as a Cakora bird on the moon. Glory to You, O Mother of the elephant-headed Ganesa and the six-faced Kartikeya and mother of the universe with limbs shining as lightning. You have no beginning, middle or end; Your infinite glory is a mystery even to the Vedas. You are responsible for the birth, maintenance and destruction of the universe; You enchant the whole universe and carry on Your sports independently of others.
