Doha 90
सुनि बोलीं मुसुकाइ भवानी। उचित कहेहु मुनिबर बिग्यानी॥ तुम्हरें जान कामु अब जारा। अब लगि संभु रहे सबिकारा॥१॥
हमरें जान सदा सिव जोगी। अज अनवद्य अकाम अभोगी॥ जौं मैं सिव सेये अस जानी। प्रीति समेत कर्म मन बानी॥२॥
तौ हमार पन सुनहु मुनीसा। करिहहिं सत्य कृपानिधि ईसा॥ तुम्ह जो कहा हर जारेउ मारा। सोइ अति बड़ अबिबेकु तुम्हारा॥३॥
तात अनल कर सहज सुभाऊ। हिम तेहि निकट जाइ नहिं काऊ॥ गएँ समीप सो अवसि नसाई। असि मन्मथ महेस की नाई॥४॥
Meaning
Hearing this, Bhavānī smiled and said, “O great and illumined sages, you have spoken aright. According to your belief it is only now that Śiva has burnt the god of love and that till now He was smitten with lust. (1) “To my mind, however, Śiva is eternally in rapport with the Infinite, unborn, irreproachable, passionless and beyond sensual enjoyment. Knowing Him as such, if I have served Him lovingly in thought, word and deed, (2) “then hear, O great sages: the gracious Lord will accomplish my vow. Your statement that Hara has burnt the god of love betrays your woeful lack of insight. (3) “Fire, my Revered, possesses this inherent property that frost can never approach it: in case it does, it must inevitably perish. Similar is the case with the god of love and the great Lord Śiva.” (4)
हियँ हरषे मुनि बचन सुनि देखि प्रीति बिस्वास। चले भवानिहि नाइ सिर गए हिमाचल पास॥९०॥
Meaning
Hearing the words of Pārvatī and perceiving her devotion and faith, the sages were gladdened at heart. Bowing their head to Her, they went to Himācala. (90)
