9-10. When the parents observed that the princess (Parvati) was grown up and has
passed the age of adolescence to become an adult, they became worried about finding
a suitable groom for her. This worry nagged them day and night. (9)
One day, the celestial sage Narad came to the house of Himwan. The best
amongst the mountains, Giribaru, and his consort Maina, cheerfully welcomed and
worshipped the sage. (10)

11-12. The mother (Maina) summoned Uma (Parvati) and put her at the feet of the
sage—i.e. she made her daughter touch the sage’s feet and pay her respects to him.
The sage, in turn, mentally bowed to her most reverentially (because he realised that
she was no ordinary girl, but the Mother Goddess who will marry the Great Lord
known as Mahadeva, i.e. Lord Shiva). Outwardly however, he wished her all the best
and blessed her for an auspicious future and all round happiness^1. (11)
At that time, Parvati was standing close by the side of her father, shoulder to
shoulder, and looked most adorable, elegant and charming. No one can describe her
beauty. Only those who had seen her can know about it. [In other words, the beauty
and majesty of Parvati were so great that words fail to do justice to them. Those who
saw her at that moment were the only fortunate ones to have witnessed the
magnificence of the sight.]^2 (12)
