26. Installing Isvara in the heart and enthusiastically reciting Pranava (i.e. Omkara), Parvati became one worthy of being honoured even by sages and was then so honoured (even by them), O son of Pytha.

27-31. She used to take holy baths thrice a day.

For a hundred years she used to eat only a leaf of Patala (trumpet flower-tree).
For another hundred years, she ate only a withered Bilva leaf.
For another hundred years, she drank water only and
for still another hundred years she lived on air only.

Thereafter practising restraints she stood on the big toes of her feet. Then she remained without any food. On account of her penance, people became scorched. Then on seeing the universe energized (Scorched?) by her penance, Hara personally came there in the guise of a Brahmacarin (‘religious student’). He wore divine bark garments and covered himself with the hide of Ruru deer. He held a staff having the requisite good characteristics. He had presence of mind and decent behaviour. There-upon, with great respect her friends received him and adored him.

UMA

11. When it was reported thus by Rati, the Mountain be¬ came agitated in his mind. He reached the place (of Parvati), took his daughter by hand and went to his own city.

12. Through the mouth of her friends, she informed her parents thus: “Of what use is this wretched unfortunate body?

13. I will either get the husband desired (by me) or cast off this body. If the desired object is impossible to be achieved, how can it be obtained without penance?

14. Hence I will dry up my physical body by means of different kinds of restraints. If you both have kindness towards me, permit me for this.”

15. On hearing these words, the mother and father said to that auspicious (girl), “U-MA (‘Oh, do not’)! O excessively frail daughter, your body is not capable of enduring the pain and rigour of penance.

Vibhavari

67-68. When the pair of lotus-like eyes of Mena closed slightly, the goddess of Night, at the instance of Brahma, entered the mouth of the mother of the mother of the universe and gradually entered her stomach. The goddess Vibhavari (‘Night’) coloured the complexion of the goddess, mother of Guha.

69. Thereafter, in the excellent Brahma Muhurta (i.e. early dawn), Mena, the bestower of auspiciousness on the universe, the beloved wife of Himagiri, gave birth (to a daughter) of splendid face.

70. When she was born, all the living beings, the mobile as well as the immobile ones, became happy. All the residents of all the worlds were joyful.

71. The minds of cruel animals and embodied beings became calm. The refulgence of all the luminaries was enhanced.

72. The plants and the medicinal herbs of the forest yielded tasty fruits and fragrant flowers. The sky became devoid of cloudiness and clear.

73. The wind was very pleasing to the touch. The quarters were very charming. All the scriptures that had been forgotten became manifest.

74-76. At that time the power of important holy spots became highly meritorious. Everyone had faith in truth, virtue, study of the Vedas, Yajna, charitable gifts and penance at the time of the birth of Guha’s mother. In the firmament, the immortal ones with their eyes bloom¬ ing with delight, showered flowers. Devas, the chiefs of whom were Hari, Brahma, Mahendra, the Sun, the Wind and the Fire gods released showers of flowers over the splendid abode of Mena.

77-80. The great mountains beginning with Meru assumed physical forms and took part in that great festival. They were rendered splendid by means of Virakamsyas (i.e. bell metal plates to hold Nlrajana lamps during waving ceremony). Oceans and Rivers also came from all sides. At that time Himavan became worthy of being served, worshipped and approached by all the mobile and immobile beings in the world, O descen¬ dant of Bharata. After enjoying the great festival all of them went back to their respective abodes.

Narada said : 1. Thereafter the goddess born of the Mountain played and' sported. That goddess of good fortune and exalted magnificence, the splendid lady, played along with the girls of Devas and Gandharvas, the ladies of Mountains and of Kinnara families and the daughters of acetics.
