[Note—^1 In other words, even if there are any traces of negativity that may be lurking
in your daugher’s fate that was determined as her destiny by the Creator at the time of
her birth, but there is nothing to worry about it. This is because if your daughter
manages to please the almighty Lord Tripurari, if he is satisfied by her sincerity,
devotion and faith as well as her austerity and penance, then be assured that he is
fully cable and competent to remove the darker sides of your daughter’s fate, and
instead ensure a bright and happy future for her.
So, you must stop worrying and procrastinating, and instead follow my wise
advice to prevail upon your daughter to do Tapa to please Lord Shiva.
In Doha no. 68 above, Narad had said that whatever the creator of one’s destiny,
the Creator known as Vidhi or Brahma, has written, no god, demon, human, serpent
or sage can alter. But he has cleverly skipped the names of ‘Lord Shiva and Lord
Vishnu’ from this blanket immunity. The reason is that these two are senior Gods,
and not ordinary junior rung gods. They are part of the Trinity of Gods, the third God
being Brahma himself. These three gods of the Trinity, Brahma the creator, Vishnu
the sustainer, and Shiva the concluder, are merely three manifestations of the same
universal Supreme Being known as “Brahm” who has metamorphosed into three
distinct forms to carry our three distinct functions of creation—viz. origin,
sustenance, and conclusion.
It’s like the same Sun seen at three times of the day—at sunrise, at mid-day, and
at sunset. Does the different colours of the sky and the way the Sun is seen at these
three main points during it journey across the sky in anyway affect the basic identity
of the Sun or its character? Similarly, the three gods of the Trinity have equal powers,
but they refrain from interfering into the jurisdiction of the other to maintain order
and system in this creation. Otherwise, there would be chaos.]¡lÁ¬ ’⁄U •Ÿ∑§ ¡ª ◊Ê„UË¥ – ∞Á„U ∑§„°U Á‚fl ÃÁ¡ ŒÍ‚⁄U ŸÊ„UË¥H 6H

Although there may be many grooms in the world that may fit the description I have
made^1 , but for her there is no other suitable groom other than Lord Shiva^2. (6)
[Note—^1 Refer: Ram Charit Manas, Baal Kand—(i) Doha no. 67 along with its
preceding Chaupai line no. 8 where Narad outlines the negativities in the character of
the future groom of Uma, and (ii) Chaupai line nos. 3-4 that precede Doha no. 69
where he has explicitly said that if Uma marries Lord Shiva then all the negative traits
that destiny has written her future husband will have, and which is the cause of worry
for her parents, would automatically turn out to be laudable characters that are praised
by the world instead of being criticised.
Then we have read how Narad explains this is possible in Chaupai line nos. 5-8
that precede Doha no. 68, and Chaupai line nos. 1-2 that follow it.
(^2) It is said in Doha no. 66 herein above that Narad is “Trikaalagya” (one who can
see the events of the past, the future and of course the present) and “Sarvagya” (one
who is all-knowing). This naturally means he knows about the past life of Uma, that
she was Sati in that life, and why and how she died to take birth as Uma. He was
privy to the secret that Uma’s eternal husband is no one else but Lord Shiva, and that
at the time of death in her previous life she had prayed to Lord Hari to let her serve
the feet of Shiva in her future birth too—refer: Ram Charit Manas, Baal Kand,
Chaupai line nos. 5-6 that precede Doha no. 65.
That is why Narad was so certain and positive in his assertion that for Uma there
is no other groom except Shiva.]
