There is no dearth of suitors and maidens

Jai Sri Ram
If you are specially uniting a pair and cannot help negotiating a match,

There is no dearth of suitors and maidens and those who take delight in such games know no weariness,

I will not disregard Narada's admonition even if Shambhu Himself tell me a hundred times to do so,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Who will weigh his merits and demerits,

Jai Sri Ram,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The Great God Shiva

Jai sri Ram,
Gold is another product of rock which does not abandon its character even on being consigned to fire,

I May not ignore Narada's advice, whether my house is full or desolate,

The Great God Shiva, may be full of faults and Vishnu may be a repository of all virtues, one is however, concerned with him alone who gladdens one's heart,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please 

Narada

Jai Sri Ram,
It is he who ruined the home of Citraketu,

And again Hiranyakasipu, the father of Prahlad, met a similar fate,

Guileful at heart, he bears on his person the marks of a pious man,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Jai sri Ram,
Going to Parvati, you put her love to the test,

inspired with devotion, wisdom and piety,

Jai Sri Ram,
The Lord was pleased to hear the well chosen words of Sankara, which were inspired with devotion, wisdom and piety,

The Lord Said, your vow has been kept, now bear in mind, what i have told you,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

The Lord in his infinite compassion narrated at full length the most pious doings of Girija,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

Sri Rama

Jai sri Ram,
In this way a considerable time elapsed,

Devotion to the feet of Sri Rama was ever budding in his heart,

The merciful Lord, who fully recognized services rendered to him, is mine of beauty and amiability and an embodiment of splendor,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

he extolled the virtues of sri Rama

Jai sri Ram
For three thousand years she maintained herself on the withered leaves of the Bela-aegle marmelos,  Finally gave up even dry leaves, then known by the name of Aparna, seeing her body emaciated through self mortification the deep voice of Brahma resounded through the heavens, 

O Daughter of Mountain king, your desire is accomplished, cease all rigorous penance, the shiva will soon be yours, there have been many self possessed and illuminated sages but no one of them performed such penance, cherish in your heart, when your father comes to call you, give up all resistance and return home at once,

The abode of Happiness, Shiva, who is ever free from error, and desire, roamed about on earth with his heart fixed on sri Hari, the delight of the world, Here he instructed the sages in wisdom and there he extolled the virtues of sri Rama,

Though passionless and all wise, the lord was smitten with the pangs of separation from his devotee Sati,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

she observed a rigorous fast

Jai Sri Ram
Her Devotion to the feet of her lord presented a new feet of her lord,

She got so absorbed in penance that she lost all conscious of her body,

For a thousand years she lived on roots and fruits alone,

While for another hundred years she subsisted on vegetables, for some days only substance was water and air, while for few days she observed a rigorous fast,

May lord Bless all,

Thanks please 

Uma went to the forest and began her penance

Jai Sri Ram
Cherishing in her heart the feet of her dear lord,

Uma went to the forest and began her penance,

Her delicate frame was little fit for austerity,

Yet she renounced all luxuries fixing her mind on the feet of her Lord,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please 

The Sage Vedasara

Jai Sri Ram
Consoling her parents in many ways Uma set out for penance in a joyous mood,

Her loving household and parents felt miserable and none could speak a word,

The Sage Vedasara then came and consoled them all,

They were comforted when they heard of the glory of Parvati,

May Lord Bless all,

Thanks Please

Hare Rama

Jai Sri Ram
In fact, the entire creation rests on penance,

Bhavani, bearing this in mind, go and practice austerity,

Hearing these words the mother was filled with wonder,

She sent for Himalaya and communicated the vision to him,
