Trance,

 Jai Sri Ram,

Even water when mixed with milk sells as milk, look at the unifying process of love, however, is separated from the milk, and the taste also disappears the moment a drop of acid is introduced into it in the form of a falsehood,

Sati felt perturbed in her heart at the thought of what she had done, and the extend of her anxiety could neither be gauged nor described, She realized that Lord is supremely unfathomable ocean of mercy, hence he did not openly declare her fault,

From the attitude of Sankara, however, she judged that lord had abandoned her, and felt disturbed in her heart, conscious of her guilt she could not utter a word, but all the while her heart smouldered like a furnace,

Perceiving the sad look of Sati, Shiva narrated beautiful stories in order to divert her mind, relating various legends while on his way, reached Kailasha, then recalling his vow, Sambhu sat down there under a banyan tree in the Yogic posture, communed with his own self passed into unbroken Samadhi that Trance,

Jai Siya Ram 

great sin to love

 Jai Sri Ram,

Sati has assumed the disguise of Sita, This Made Shiva Much Disconsolate, If I continue to love Sati as heretofore, the cult of devotion will disappear and wit will be indecorous on my part to do, Sati is Too Chaste to be Abandoned, and it is a great sin to love her any more as a wife,

The Great Lord Shiva uttered not a word aloud, although there was great agony in his heart,He bowed at his Lord, invoked Rama, idea came to his mind that he should have no connection with Sati so long she continued in that body and proceeded towards Kailasa fixed his mind on Rama,

Heavenly voice thundered forth, GLORY TO GREAT SHIVA, who has so staunchly upheld the cause of devotion, WHO ELSE THAN YOU CAN TAKE SUCH A VOW, You are great devotee of Rama, 

Sati addressed Shiva in faltering voice, TELL ME, O MERCIFUL LORD, WHAT VOW YOU HAVE TAKEN, you are embodiment of truth and compassion to poor, even though Sati enquired in ways more than one, Shiva spoke not a word, SATI CONCLUDED THAT SHIVA HAD COME TO KNOW EVERYTHING AND FELT SORRY THAT SHE HAD TRIED TO DECEIVE SHAMBHU, 

Jai Siya Ram 

Sankara then looked within by contemplation, and come to know all that

  Jai Sri Ram,

When She opened her eyes and gazed once more, Sati saw nothing there, repeatedly bowing her head at the feet of Sri Rama, she proceeded to the spot where Shiva was,

When She came near, Lord Shiva smilingly enquired if all was well with her and then said, tell me the whole truth, how did you test Rama, 

Having realized the greatness of Rama, Sati in her awe concealed the truth from Shiva, Said, I MADE NO TEST MY LORD, I made obeisance just like you, what you said cannot be untrue, 

I am fully convinced in my heart, Lord Sankara then looked within by contemplation, and come to know all that Sati had done, again he bowed His head to the delusive power of Sri Rama, that had prompted Sati to tell a lie, what has preordained by the will of Hari, must have its way, Shiva though within himself, 

Jai Siya Ram

same trio

  Jai Sri Ram,

Sati further perceived innumerable Satis, Consort of Brahma and Lakshmis, all peerless in beauty, they conformed in their appearance to the garb in which Brahma and other gods,

Each separate vision of Rama was attended by a whole host of gods with their feminine counterparts, as well as by the whole animate and inanimate creation with its multitudinous species, 

But while the gods who adored the lord appeared in diverse garbs, the appearance of Rama was the same in every case, 

Although She Saw many Ramas with many Sitas, their garb did not vary, seeing the same trio, struck with great awe, her heart quivered and she lost her consciousness of her body, closing eyes she sat down on the wayside,

Jai Siya Ram,

where is Lord Shiva

  Jai Sri Ram,

Rama spoke softly in mild ascent, describing his name along with his father's name with Joining his hands, bowed down to her, asked, where is Lord Shiva, why are you going alone in the forest,

Hearing the soft and deep words of Rama, she became very shy, Sati fearfully turn back, thinking deeply in her heart, I commit a grave mistake to disobey Shiva, wandering within herself, where should I go now, and a very painful wound arose,

Knowing Rama, Sati was in pain, revealed his glory to her, Sati saw going ahead Rama and his brother,Then she looked back, she saw the Lord with his brother and Sita in a beautiful attire, 

Wherever she looked, there was glorious trio, who served by Siddhas, sages and the wise men, Saw Shiva, Vishnu, many more, infinite glory, worshipper serves the Lord Rama in various attires, all the gods are seen serving Rama with great reverence,

Jai Siya Ram

took the form of Sita and walked on the path where the king of men was,

  Jai Sri Ram,

Thinking again and again in heart, Sati took the form of Sita and walked on the path where the king of men was,

Lakshmana looked at Uma and was surprised and there was a lot of confusion in the heart, could not say anything very seriously, the Lord knows the power of the wise,

The lord knows all about the deceitful act of Devi Sati, knower of all the worlds knows everything,

The one who remembers Lord Rama, ignorance is dispelled at once, this is truth of the lord of all worlds, to such a Lord Sati wants to deceive through her elusive form, 

Jai Siya Ram

in the shade of Banyan

  Jai Sri Ram,

If you have grave doubt in your mind, why not go and verify the thing, I shall be waiting in the shade of Banyan tree till you come back, Using your critical judgement you should resort to some device whereby the stupendous error of your ignorance may be rectified, 

Thus attaining leave of Shiva, Sati, proceeded on her mission, She racked her brains to find out what step she should take in order to test the divinity of Rama, 

On this side Shiva came to the conclusion that mischief was in store for Sati, when her doubt did not yield even my assurances, he Said to himself, it seems the stars are unpropitious to her and no good will come out of it, 

After all, whatever Sri Rama has willed must come to pass, why should one add to the complication by indulging in further speculation, so saying Lord Shiva began to mutter the name of Sri Hari, while Sati proceeded the spot where the all blissful Rama was, 

Jai Siya Ram
