75-76. Shiva remembered (i.e. summoned) the seven celestial sages called
Saptarishis. They came and bowed before him. Shiva showed great respect to them
and they too fell rewarded on having his divine vision. (75)
Then the sages said, ‘Those who happen to remember you even once are
deemed to be the best amongst the noble and virtuous ones. Oh Lord! Oh Har (Shiva)!
Anyone who is remembered by you is fortunate and becomes honourable himself.
[That is, anyone who you remember is lucky and fortunate because you are known to
be a renunciate who has no desire and no wish of any kind. So the fact that you
wished to meet us makes us very happy. It has given us a rare chance to have your
holy vision.] (76)
[Note—The 7 celestial sages are—Kashyap, Atri, Jamdgni, Vishwamitra, Vashistha,
Bharadwaj and Gautam.]

77-78. Hearing these words of the (seven celestial) sages, Mahesh (Shiva) felt very
happy and contented. He narrated to them the entire episode pertaining to Parvati’s
severe Tapa and his conversation with her. (77)
Then he requested them, ‘All of you go to the household of Himachal (father
of Parvati, Himwan) and raise the topic of her marriage with me. If you find that
everything is favourable and in accordance with your wishes, then you can decide on
an auspicious date for the marriage ceremony.’ (78)
[Note—In Ram Charit Manas also, Lord Shiva has summoned these sages and asked
them to go the parents of Parvati with the marriage proposal. Refer: Ram Charit
Manas, Baal Kand, Chaupai line no. 7 that precedes Doha no. 89, and Chaupai line
nos. 1-7 that precedes Doha no. 91.]
