The Story Of Lord Shiva’s Marriage With Parvati

(Kiana) #1

nācahiṁ nānā raṅga taraṅga baṛhāvahiṁ.
aja ulūka bṛka nāda gīta gana gāvahiṁ. 93.
ramānātha suranātha sātha saba sura gana.
ā'ē jaham̐ bidhi sambhu dēkhi haraṣē mana. 94.


93-94. They danced in merriment in myriad of ways, enhancing the atmosphere of
joy and clebrations that pervaded everywhere. Goats, owls and wolves rejoiced and
spoke excitedly in their own tongues, while Shiva’s followers happily sang songs of
felicitation and ceremony. (93)
Laxmi’s Lord (Vishnu) and the king of Gods (Indra), along with all other
Gods, came to the place where Shiva and Brahma were already assembled to join the
marriage party. They all felt very delighted in their hearts.^1 (94)

milē harihiṁ haru haraṣi subhāṣi surēsahi.
sura nihāri sanamānē'u mōda mahēsahi. 95.
bahu bidhi bāhana jāna bimāna birājahiṁ.
calī barāta nisāna gahāgaha bājahiṁ. 96.


95-96. Har (Shiva) welcomed the Gods as they assembled at his abode to join his
marriage party which was about to embark on the journey to the bride’s place. Shiva
spoke sweetly with the king of Gods (Indra), and he then met Hari (Vishnu).
Thereafter, he affectionately saw (i.e. made eye contact with) other assembled Gods
as a gesture of welcome and respect. This gathering caused immense delight to
Mahesh (Shiva).^1 (95)
Many types of mounts, vehicles and air-chariots of all denominations belonging
to the different Gods were present on the occasion.
The groom’s party finally made its departure for the bride’s place with musical
instruments such as kettle-drums etc. playing loudly and enthusiastically. (96)
