The party which had gone ahead to receive the bridegroom's procession returned with the procession and assigned beautiful lodgings to all the guests, Mena that Parvati's mother kindled auspicious lights for waving round the bridegroom and the women accompanying her sang melodious songs of rejoicing, a salver of gold adorned Mena's fair hands and she proceeded to welcome Lord Hara with great delight,

Taking you in my arms I would sooner fall from a mountaintop, cast myself into the flames, or drown myself in the sea, let my home be ruined and let me earn a bad reputation throughout the world but in no case would I marry you this maniac so long as there is life in me, all the ladies assembled there were distressed of Himacala said, recalling the affection of her daughter she wailed, wept and exclaimed as_
May Lord bless all,
Thanks, please
