Doha 81
जौं तुम्ह मिलतेहु प्रथम मुनीसा। सुनतिउँ सिख तुम्हारि धरि सीसा॥ अब मैं जन्मु संभु हित हारा। को गुन दूषन करै बिचारा॥१॥
जौं तुम्हरे हठ हृदयँ बिसेषी। रहि न जाइ बिनु किएँ बरेषी॥ तौ कौतुकिअन्ह आलसु नाहीं। बर कन्या अनेक जग माहीं॥२॥
जन्म कोटि लगि रगर हमारी। बरउँ संभु न त रहउँ कुआरी॥ तजउँ न नारद कर उपदेसू। आपु कहहिं सत बार महेसू॥३॥
मैं पा परउँ कहइ जगदंबा। तुम्ह गृह गवनहु भयउ बिलंबा॥ देखि प्रेमु बोले मुनि ग्यानी। जय जय जगदंबिके भवानी॥४॥
Meaning
“Had you met me earlier, O great sages! I would have listened to your advice with reverence. But now that I have staked my life for Śiva, who will consider His merits and demerits? (1) “If you are specially bent upon uniting a pair and cannot help negotiating a match, there is no dearth of suitors and maidens; and those who take delight in such games know no weariness. (2) “As for myself, I must wed Śiva or remain a virgin, no matter if I have to continue the struggle for ten million lives. I will not disregard Nārada’s admonition even if Śiva Himself tells me a hundred times to do so. (3) “I fall at your feet,” continued Pārvatī, the Mother of the universe, “Please return to your home. It is already late.” Seeing Pārvatī’s devotion the enlightened sages exclaimed, “Glory, all glory to You, O Bhavānī, Mother of the universe! (4)
तुम्ह माया भगवान सिव सकल जगत पितु मातु। नाइ चरन सिर मुनि चले पुनि पुनि हरषत गातु॥८१॥
Meaning
“You are Māyā, while Śiva is God Himself; You both are the parents of the whole universe.” Bowing their head at the feet of Pārvatī, the sages departed. A thrill ran through their bodies again and again. (81)
