Doha 102
बहु बिधि संभु सासु समुझाई। गवनी भवन चरन सिरु नाई॥ जननीं उमा बोलि तब लीन्ही। लै उछंग सुंदर सिख दीन्ही॥१॥
करेहु सदा संकर पद पूजा। नारिधरमु पति देउ न दूजा॥ बचन कहत भरे लोचन बारी। बहुरि लाइ उर लीन्हि कुमारी॥२॥
कत बिधि सृजीं नारि जग माहीं। पराधीन सपनेहुँ सुखु नाहीं॥ भै अति प्रेम बिकल महतारी। धीरजु कीन्ह कुसमय बिचारी॥३॥
पुनि पुनि मिलति परति गहि चरना। परम प्रेमु कछु जाइ न बरना॥ सब नारिन्ह मिलि भेटि भवानी। जाइ जननि उर पुनि लपटानी॥४॥
Meaning
Śiva comforted His mother-in-law in ways more than one; and she returned home bowing her head at His feet. The mother then sent for Umā, and taking Her into her lap gave Her the following excellent advice. (1) “Ever adore the feet of Śiva—this sums up the duty of a wife. Her husband is her deity; there is no other god for her.” As she spoke these words, her eyes were filled with tears and she pressed Pārvatī to her bosom. (2) “Why has god created women in this world? One who is dependent on others can never dream of happiness.” The mother was overwhelmed with emotion; but knowing as she did that it was not an opportune moment for such emotions, she recovered herself. (3) Menā met Pārvatī again and again and fell down clasping Her feet; her supreme love was beyond all words. Bidding adieu to all the ladies, Bhavānī ran and clung to her mother’s heart once more. (4)
जननिहि बहुरि मिलि चली उचित असीस सब काहूँ दईं। फिरि फिरि बिलोकति मातु तन तब सखीं लै सिव पहिं गईं॥ जाचक सकल संतोषि संकरु उमा सहित भवन चले। सब अमर हरषे सुमन बरषि निसान नभ बाजे भले॥
Meaning
Taking leave of Her mother again, Pārvatī departed; everyone bestowed appropriate blessings on Her. She again and again turned back to have a look at Her mother; Her girl-companions then escorted Her to Śiva. Having gratified all suppliants, Śaṅkara proceeded to His abode (Mount Kailāsa) with Pārvatī. All the divinities delightfully rained down flowers and kettledrums produced a charming sound in the heavens.
चले संग हिमवंतु तब पहुँचावन अति हेतु। बिबिध भाँति परितोषु करि बिदा कीन्ह बृषकेतु॥१०२॥
Meaning
Himavān then accompanied Śiva in order to escort Him with great affection. Śiva, however, beseeched him to return, reassuring him in various ways. (102)
