Jai Sri Ram,
Henceforth, O Rati, your husband be called by the name of Ananga, bodiless, he shall dominate all even without a body, now hear how you will meet him again when Sri Krishna will descend in the line of Yadu to relieve the earth of its heavy burden, your lord will be born again as his son, this prediction of mine can never be untrue, hearing the words of Sankara Rati went away, I now proceed to relate the subsequent part of the story, when Brahma and other gods received all the tidings, they repaired to Vaikuntha, thence all the gods, including Vishnu and Virinchi, went where the all-merciful Shiva was, They severally extolled and won the pleasure of the Lord whose crest is adorned by a crescent,
Shiva, who is an ocean of compassion and has a bull emblazed on his standard said, tell me, immortals, what brought you here, to this Brahma replied, Lord, you are the controller of all, even then, my master, my devotion to you urges me to make the following submission, the heart of all the immortals is seized with a dominating impulse, they long to witness your wedding with their eyes, my Lord, O humbler of the pride of the love,, devise some means whereby we may be enabled to feast our eyes on this glad event, having burnt the god of love, you have done well in granting a boon to Rati, O ocean of compassion, having meted out punishment, good masters shower their grace as a matter of course, such is a natural habit,
Parvati has practiced penance the magnitude of which cannot be estimated, kindly accept her now, hearing the entities of Brahma and remembering the words of Lord Rama, SHIVA GLADLY SAID_AMEN, the gods thereupon sounded their kettledrums and rating down the flowers they exclaimed, Victory, Victory to the lord of celestials, considering it to be an opportune moment, the seven seers arrived on the scene, Brahma immediately sent them to the abode of Himalaya, they approached Bhavani in the first instance and addressed the following sweet yet deceptive words to her, relying on the advice of Narada you would not heed our remonstrances then, you vow has failed now, for Shiva has burnt the god of love,
Hearing this Bhavani smiled and said, O great illumined sages, you have spoken aright, according to your belief it is only now that Sambhu has burnt the god of love and that till now he was smitten with love, to my mind, however, Shiva is eternally in rapport with the infinite, unbegotten, irreproachable, passionless and without enjoyment, knowing him as such, if I have served him lovingly in thought, word, and deed, then hear, O great sages, the gracious Lord will accomplish my vow,, your statement that Hara has burnt the god of love betrays woeful; lack of thought in you, Fire, my friend, possesses the inherent property that frost can never approach it, in case it must invariably perish, similarly is the case with the god of love and the great Lord Shiva, hearing the words of Bhavani and perceiving her devotion and faith, the sages were gladdened at heart, bowing their head to her, they went to Himalaya,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
