Doha 71
कहि अस ब्रह्मभवन मुनि गयऊ। आगिल चरित सुनहु जस भयऊ॥ पतिहि एकांत पाइ कह मैना। नाथ न मैं समुझे मुनि बैना॥१॥
जौं घरु बरु कुलु होइ अनूपा। करिअ बिबाहु सुता अनुरूपा॥ न त कन्या बरु रहउ कुआरी। कंत उमा मम प्रानपिआरी॥२॥
जौं न मिलिहि बरु गिरिजहि जोगू। गिरि जड़ सहज कहिहि सबु लोगू॥ सोइ बिचारि पति करेहु बिबाहू। जेहिं न बहोरि होइ उर दाहू॥३॥
अस कहि परी चरन धरि सीसा। बोले सहित सनेह गिरीसा॥ बरु पावक प्रगटै ससि माहीं। नारद बचनु अन्यथा नाहीं॥४॥
Meaning
Having spoken thus, the sage left for the abode of Brahmā (the Creator). Now hear what happened thereafter: Finding her husband alone, Menā (Himavāna’s wife) said to him, “My lord, I could not follow the words of the sage. (1) “If the match, his house and his pedigree are unparalleled and worthy of our daughter, the marriage may be concluded. If not, the girl had better remain unmarried; for, my lord, Umā is dear to me as my own life. (2) “If we fail to secure a match worthy of Girijā, everyone will say Himālaya is dull by nature. Keep this in mind, my lord, while concluding an alliance so that there may be no cause for repentance.” (3) Having spoken these words Menā laid herself prostrate with her head at the feet of her lord. The lord of mountains, Himavāna, replied in endearing terms, “Even the moon may emit flames of fire, but the prophecy of Nārada would not prove to be untrue. (4)
प्रिया सोचु परिहरहु सबु सुमिरहु श्रीभगवान। पारबतिहि निरमयउ जेहिं सोइ करिहि कल्यान॥७१॥
Meaning
