Doha 101
जसि बिबाह कै बिधि श्रुति गाई। महामुनिन्ह सो सब करवाई॥ गहि गिरीस कुस कन्या पानी। भवहि समरपीं जानि भवानी॥१॥
पानिग्रहन जब कीन्ह महेसा। हियँ हरषे तब सकल सुरेसा॥ बेदमंत्र मुनिबर उच्चरहीं। जय जय जय संकर सुर करहीं॥२॥
बाजहिं बाजन बिबिध बिधाना। सुमनबृष्टि नभ भै बिधि नाना॥ हर गिरिजा कर भयउ बिबाहू। सकल भुवन भरि रहा उछाहू॥३॥
दासीं दास तुरग रथ नागा। धेनु बसन मनि बस्तु बिभागा॥ अन्न कनकभाजन भरि जाना। दाइज दीन्ह न जाइ बखाना॥४॥
Meaning
The great sages had the nuptial ceremony performed in all its details as laid down in the Vedas. Taking sacred Kuśa grass in his hand and holding the bride by Her hand, the mountain-king Himālaya bestowed Her to Śiva knowing Her to be His eternal consort. (1) When the great Lord Śiva took the hand of the bride, all the great gods were glad at heart. The principal sages chanted the Vedic formulas (Mantra), while the gods exclaimed, “Victory, victory, all victory to Śiva!” (2) Musical instruments of various kinds were played and flowers of different varieties were rained down from the heavens. The wedding of Śiva and Pārvatī was thus solemnized. A spirit of rejoicing pervaded the whole universe. (3) Men-servants and maid-servants, horses and chariots, elephants and cows, raiment, jewels and various other articles and, even so, cart-loads of food grains and gold utensils were given as dowry, which was more than one could describe. (4)
दाइज दियो बहु भाँति पुनि कर जोरि हिमभूधर कह्यो। का देउँ पूरनकाम संकर चरन पंकज गहि रह्यो॥ सिवँ कृपासागर ससुर कर संतोषु सब भाँतिहिं कियो। पुनि गहे पद पाथोज मयनाँ प्रेम परिपूरन हियो॥
Meaning
Himācala gave presents of various kinds as dowry; then, folding his hands, he said, “What can I give you, Śaṅkara? You are fully sated!” He could say no more and remained clasping the latter’s feet. The ocean of mercy that Śiva is, reassured His father-in-law in every possible way. Then Menā, with her heart overflowing with love, clasped His lotus-feet and said:
नाथ उमा मम प्रान सम गृहकिंकरी करेहु। छमेहु सकल अपराध अब होइ प्रसन्न बरु देहु॥१०१॥
Meaning
“Lord, Umā is dear to me as life; take her as a maid-servant of Your house and forgive all her faults. Be pleased to grant this boon to me.” (101)
