Doha 82
Love’s departure on the errand of the gods and his being burnt to death
जाइ मुनिन्ह हिमवंतु पठाए। करि बिनती गिरजहिं गृह ल्याए॥ बहुरि सप्तरिषि सिव पहिं जाई। कथा उमा कै सकल सुनाई॥१॥
भए मगन सिव सुनत सनेहा। हरषि सप्तरिषि गवने गेहा॥ मनु थिर करि तब संभु सुजाना। लगे करन रघुनायक ध्याना॥२॥
तारकु असुर भयउ तेहि काला। भुज प्रताप बल तेज बिसाला॥ तेहिं सब लोक लोकपति जीते। भए देव सुख संपति रीते॥३॥
अजर अमर सो जीति न जाई। हारे सुर करि बिबिध लराई॥ तब बिरंचि सन जाइ पुकारे। देखे बिधि सब देव दुखारे॥४॥
Meaning
The sages went and sent Himavān to Girijā and he with many entreaties brought her home. The Seven Seers then called on Śiva and told Him the whole conversation with Pārvatī. (1) Śiva was enraptured to hear of Pārvatī’s love; and the Seven Sages gladly went home. The all-wise Śiva then concentrated His mind and began to meditate on Śrī Raghunātha. (2) A demon, Tāraka by name, flourished in those days; his strength of arm, glory and majesty were great indeed. He conquered all the spheres as well as the guardians of those spheres; all the gods were robbed of their happiness and prosperity. (3) He defied age and death and was invincible. The gods fought many a battle with him but lost. They then went to Brahmā and related to him their lamentations. The Creator found all the gods miserable. (4)
सब सन कहा बुझाइ बिधि दनुज निधन तब होइ। संभु सुक्र संभूत सुत एहि जीतइ रन सोइ॥८२॥
Meaning
Brahma reassured them all saying, “The demon shall die only when there is a son begotten from the loins of Śiva; for he alone can subdue the demon in battle. (82)
