79-80. It was decided that Arundhati (wife of sage Vashistha) shall meet Maina (the
mother of Parvati) and raise the topic of Parvati’s marriage. Ladies are usually expert
in this job. So the things will be sorted out favourably. (79)
Uma (Parvati) is the bride, Shiva is the groom, and these sages are the various
spiritual aspirants or seekers. Hence, this job can be easily done (i.e. accomplished
and success can be easily achieved). A formless heavenly voice from the sky (the
heavens) predicted success of this endeavour. (80)

81-82. Hearing this mysterious voice from the sky (heavens), Lord Mahesh and
sages felt very glad. Good omens were indicated by the following sign—women with
beautiful eyes and having water filled pitchers on their heads were sighted. (81)
Shiva told the sages the place and time where their next meeting can be held.
Then those sages cheerfully went to the king of mountains, Giribar (the father of
Parvati; Himwan). (82)

Chanda 10. When the seven celestial sages went to the household of Giri (the father of
Parvati, the Mountain known as ‘Himwan’), the latter most reverentially and
affectionately worshipped and welcomed them. He was accompanied by his wife
(Maina) and daughter (Parvati).
The king brought everything that was needed to welcome the revered sages,
and placed these things before them. Then the topic of marriage was raised in a
cheerful and pleasant atmosphere. An auspicious day for the formalizing of the
marriage was determined, and the next morning the sages happily made their
departure with the elegant marriage invitation containing the auspicious date written
in it. (10)
