Doha 107
बैठे सोह कामरिपु कैसें। धरें सरीरु सांतरसु जैसें॥ पारबती भल अवसरु जानी। गईं संभु पहिं मातु भवानी॥ १ ॥
जानि प्रिया आदरु अति कीन्हा। बाम भाग आसनु हर दीन्हा॥ बैठीं सिव समीप हरषाई। पूरुब जन्म कथा चित आई॥२॥
पति हियँ हेतु अधिक अनुमानी। बिहसि उमा बोलीं प्रिय बानी॥ कथा जो सकल लोक हितकारी। सोइ पूछन चह सैलकुमारी॥३॥
बिस्वनाथ मम नाथ पुरारी। त्रिभुवन महिमा बिदित तुम्हारी॥ चर अरु अचर नाग नर देवा। सकल करहिं पद पंकज सेवा॥४॥
Meaning
Seated there the Destroyer of Cupid, Lord Śiva, looked like an incarnation of the sentiment of Quietism. Finding it a good opportunity, Mother Pārvatī called on Him. (1) Knowing Her to be His lovely consort, Śiva bestowed on Her great honour and courteously assigned Her a seat on His left side. Pārvatī gladly sat down beside Śiva and recalled the events of Her past life. (2) Presuming that Her lord cherished in His heart great love for Her (much more than earlier), Umā smilingly spoke the following sweet words to Him: (says Yājñavalkya) Pārvatī sought to elicit from Her lord the story which is beneficial to the whole world. (3) “O Lord of the universe, O my Master, O slayer of the demon Tripura! Your glory is known to all the three spheres. Animate as well inanimate beings, Nāgas, men and gods, and all do homage to Your lotus-feet. (4)
प्रभु समरथ सर्बग्य सिव सकल कला गुन धाम। जोग ग्यान बैराग्य निधि प्रनत कलपतरु नाम॥१०७॥
Meaning
“My Lord, You are all-powerful, all-wise and all-blissful; You are a repository of all arts and virtues and an epitome of Yoga (askesis), wisdom and dispassion. Your Name is a wish-yielding tree, as it were, to the suppliant. (107)
