# Bal Kand · Doha 83

**चौ०** 
> मोर कहा सुनि करहु उपाई। होइहि ईस्वर करिहि सहाई॥  
> सतीं जो तजी दच्छ मख देहा। जनमी जाइ हिमाचल गेहा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> तेहिं तपु कीन्ह संभु पति लागी। सिव समाधि बैठे सबु त्यागी॥  
> जदपि अहइ असमंजस भारी। तदपि बात एक सुनहु हमारी॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> पठवहु कामु जाइ सिव पाहीं। करै छोभु संकर मन माहीं॥  
> तब हम जाइ सिवहि सिर नाई। करवाउब बिबाहु बरिआई॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> एहि बिधि भलेहिं देवहित होई। मत अति नीक कहइ सबु कोई॥  
> अस्तुति सुरन्ह कीन्हि अति हेतू। प्रगटेउ बिषमबान झषकेतू॥४॥

Meaning: “Hearing what I say, act accordingly; God will help you and the plan will succeed. Satī, who gave up her body at the sacrifice performed by Dakṣa, has been born again as the daughter of Himācala. (1)

“She has undergone penance for winning the hand of Śiva, while Śiva has renounced everything and sits absorbed in meditation (समाधि). Although it is most improbable, yet listen to one proposal of mine. (2)

“Approaching Cupid (the god of love), send him to Śiva; and let him disturb the trance of Śiva. Then we shall go and bow our head at Śiva’s feet and prevail on Him to marry even if He is unwilling. (3)

“In this way alone the interests of the gods may be served.” “The idea is excellent,” everyone said. The gods then prayed with great devotion and the god of love, Kāmadeva, armed with five* arrows and having a fish emblazoned on his standard, appeared on the scene. (4)

* The white lotus, the Aśoka flower, the mango blossom, the jasmine and the blue lotus—these are the five kinds of arrows with which the god of love is believed to be armed.

**दो०** 
> सुरन्ह कही निज बिपति सब सुनि मन कीन्ह बिचार।  
> संभु बिरोध न कुसल मोहि बिहसि कहेउ अस मार॥८३॥

Meaning: The gods told him all their distress; hearing their tale, the god of love pondered and spoke thus with a smile, “I expect no good results for myself from antagonism to Śiva. (83)
