Doha 103
तुरत भवन आए गिरिराई। सकल सैल सर लिए बोलाई॥ आदर दान बिनय बहुमाना। सब कर बिदा कीन्ह हिमवाना॥१॥
जबहिं संभु कैलासहिं आए। सुर सब निज निज लोक सिधाए॥ जगत मातु पितु संभु भवानी। तेहिं सिंगारु न कहउँ बखानी॥२॥
करहिं बिबिध बिधि भोग बिलासा। गनन्ह समेत बसहिं कैलासा॥ हर गिरिजा बिहार नित नयऊ। एहि बिधि बिपुल काल चलि गयऊ॥३॥
तब जनमेउ षटबदन कुमारा। तारकु असुरु समर जेहिं मारा॥ आगम निगम प्रसिद्ध पुराना। षन्मुख जन्मु सकल जग जाना॥४॥
Meaning
Himācala, the mountain-king, returned home at once and summoned all other mountains and lakes. Himavān greeted them with due regard, gifts, polite words and honourably bade them all farewell. (1) No sooner had Śiva reached Mount Kailāsa than all the gods returned to their respective realms. Śiva and Pārvatī are the parents of the universe; hence I refrain from portraying their amorous sports (lit. beauteous charisma). (2) Indulging in luxuries and enjoyments of various kinds, the divine pair lived on Mount Kailāsa alongwith Their attendants. Śiva and Pārvatī enjoyed newer delights everyday. In this way a considerable time elapsed. (3) Thereafter was born to them a boy (Swāmī Kārtika) with six heads, who later on killed the demon Tāraka in battle. The story of Swāmī Kārtika, the six-headed deity, is well-known in the Vedas, Tantras and Purāṇas, and the entire world knows it. (4)
जगु जान षन्मुख जन्मु कर्मु प्रतापु पुरुषारथु महा। तेहि हेतु मैं बृषकेतु सुत कर चरित संछेपहिं कहा॥ यह उमा संभु बिबाहु जे नर नारि कहहिं जे गावहीं। कल्यान काज बिबाह मंगल सर्बदा सुखु पावहीं॥
Meaning
The tale of the birth, exploits, glory and surpassing strength of Ṣaṇmukha (Swāmī Kārtika) is known throughout the whole world. That is why I have briefly touched the narrative of Śiva’s son. Men and women who narrate or sing this story of the wedding of Pārvatī and Lord Śiva shall ever rejoice in their auspicious undertakings as well as during festive occasions such as wedding etc.
चरित सिंधु गिरिजा रमन बेद न पावहिं पारु। बरनै तुलसीदासु किमि अति मतिमंद गवाँरु॥१०३॥
Meaning
The exploits of Girijā’s lord Mahādeva are unfathomable like the ocean; even the Vedas cannot reach their end. How, then, can Tulasīdāsa, a most dull-witted rustic, succeed in describing them? (103)
