Uma went to forest and began her penance, her dedicate frame was little fit for austerities; yet she renounced all luxuries fixing her mind on the feet of her Lord,
Her devotion presented a new phase everyday and she got absorbed in penance that she lost all conscious of her body, while another hundred years she subsisted on the fruits and vegetables
For some days her only sustenance was water and the air, while for a few days she observed a rigorous fast, for three thousand years she sustain one leaves and bela, finally she gave up even dry leaves and earn the name APARNA
Seeing her body emaciated through self mortification the deep voice of Brahma resounded through the heavens-listen O daughter of mountain King-your desire is accomplish-cease all your rigorous penance; slayer of Tripura will soon be yours,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
