Jai Sri Ram,
Even though Sri Hari uses the serpent god as his conch,
And sleeps thereon, the wise do not blame him for the same,
Even so the sun and the fire absorb every description, pure as well as impure, flows into Ganga,
Yet no one call the heavenly stream impure,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
But whatever demerits i Have shown in her bridegroom exist in Shiva,
So far I can guess,
If her marriage take place with Sankara,
Everyone will call the demerits as good as virtues,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Nevertheless i tell you one remedy,
This may avail if heaven helps you,
Uma will undoubtedly get such a husband,
As i have described to you,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,

Jai Sri Ram,
The words of the celestial sage Narada could not be untrue,
Uma cherished them in her heart,
Love for the lotus feet of Shiva sprouted in her heart,
She, however, felt different in her mind,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even Narada could not perceive this difference,

May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Hearing the words of the sage,
And believing them to be true,
Himalaya and his wife become disconsolate,
While Uma felt delighted,
May Lord bless all,

Jai Sri Ram,
Devoid of merits, free from pride, without father or mother, unconcerned and free from doubts,

Stark naked and with hideous accouterments,
Such a one shall be her Lord, as i can read from the lines of her palms,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
By the mere thought of her name women in this world shall be enabled to tread the path of fidelity to their lord,

As she spoke thus she burnt her body with the fire of Yoga.

Jai Sri Ram,
It is him that my stupid father vilifies,

Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,

Jai Sri Ram,

Jai Sri Ram,
The insult of Shiva was something unbearable,
Her heart could not, therefore, be pacified,
Then sharply reproaching the whole assembly,
She spoke in angry accents,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Although there are terrible agonies of the various kinds in this world,
The insult offered to one's own people is the most painful of them all,
The thought of the same made sati furious,
Her mother tried to pacify Her in many ways,
May Lord bless all,
thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
The former grief,
That of repudiation by her Lord did not torment her heart so much,
As the great agony she now felt,
As a result of the insult offered to her husband,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Then she did realize,
The force of Sankara's warning,
Her Heart Burnt Within Her,
At the thought of insult offered to her Lord,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Daksha would not even inquire about her health,
He burnt all over with rage at the very sight of Sati,
Sati then went to have a look at the sacrifice,
But nowhere did she find any share of oblations set apart for Sambhu,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
When Bhavani Reached her father house,
No one greeted her for fear of incurring Daksha's displeasure,

Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,

When Hara at last perceived that the daughter of Daksha was not going to stay,
The slayer of Tripura detailed a few of his principal attendants,
As her escort and sent her away,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Sambhu expostulated with Sati in So Many ways,
But as fate had willed it wisdom would not dawn on her,
The Lord repeated once more that if she went to her father's place univited,
He anticipated no good results from it,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
It is no doubt true,
One should call on one's friend, Master, father or teacher without waiting for a formal invitation,
Yet where someone nurses a grudge against you,
You reap no good by going there,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Because of the grudge he bears to us you too have been ignored,
In the court of Brahma he once took offence at our behavior,
That is why he insults us now,
If you go there uninvited, all decorum, affection and honor will be cast to the winds,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
Lord Shiva replied, Your suggestion is good,
And it has commended itself to me as well,
But the anomaly is that your father has sent no invitation to us,
Daksha has invited all his other daughters, but because of the grudge he bears to us,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
At last Sati spoke in a charming voice tinged with awe, misgiving and affection,
There is great rejoice at my father's house,
O Lord, if you grant me leave,
I would fain go and see it, O storehouse of compassion,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
She was somewhat delighted to hear of the sacrifice commenced by her father,
And thought of making it an excuse for staying a few days with her father in case the great Lord Shiva granted her leave,
Repudiation by her lord tormented Her heart not a little,
But conscious of her guilt she would not utter a word,
May lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Celestial damsels were singing melodious strains,
Which intruded upon the ears of ascetics and broke their meditation,
When Celestial damsels were singing melodious strains, in the air,
Shiva explained the whole thing,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
All the gods with the exception of Vishnu, Brahma and Great Shiva,
Set out in their aerial cars,

Whom power did not intoxicate,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
He began to narrate the delightful stories of Sri Hari,
Meanwhile Daksha had come to be the lord of created beings,
On careful consideration the creator found Daksha qualified in everyway,
And appointed him as supreme lord of created beings,
May Lord bless all
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Shiva started repeating the name of Rama,
Then Sati came to know that the lord of the universe had come to the waking stale,
She went and bowed at the lotus feet of Shambhu,
Shankara gave her a seat opposite to himself,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
The daughter of Daksha, Sati,
Thus felt very miserable,
Her deep agony was terrible beyond words,
When eighty seven thousand years elapsed, the Immortal Shambhu emerged from His Trance,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
If i have any devotion to the feet of Shiva,
And i am true to my vow in thought, word and deed,
Then, O all pervading Lord, listen to me and speedily devise some plan,
Whereby i may die and be thus rid of this unbearable calamity without much exertion,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
The anguish of her heart was beyond words,
The sane lady invoked the presence of sri Rama in her heart, and address him thus,
If they refer to you as compassionate to the poor and if the Vedas have glorified you as the dispeller of sorrow,
I beseech with joined palms, That i may be speedily rid of this body of mine,
May Lord bless all
thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Providence has repaid me for my sins,
And has done only that which i deserved,
Now, O, God, it does not behoove you,
That you should make me survive even after alienating me from Sankara,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please,
Jai Sri Ram,
The grief that preyed on Sati's mind was ever new,
For she did not know when she would be able to cross the ocean of sorrow,
I slighted the lord of Raghus,
And again took my husband's words to untrue, providence has repaid me for my sins,
May lord bless all,
thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
Then sati dwelt in Kailash,
Her mind grievously sorrowing,
Nobody knew anything about what was going on in her mind,
But the days hung heavy on her like so many yugas or ages,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Then recalling His vow,
Shambhu, Sat down there under a banyan tree in a Yogic Posture,
That known as Padmasana-the pose of a lotus,
Sankara commuted with his own self and passed into an unbroken and indefinitely long Samadhi that trance,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ganesha,
Perceiving the sad look of Sati,
Shiva narrated beautiful stories in order to divert her mind,
Relating various legends while on his way,
The lord of the universe, Reached Kailash,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ganesha,
From the attitude of Sankara,
However, she judged that the Lord had abandoned her,
And felt disturbed in her heart,
Conscious of her guilt she could not utter a word of protest, but all the while her heart smoundered like a furnace,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
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 Shiva is a supremely unfathomable ocean of mercy,
Hence he did not openly declare her fault,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai Sri Ram,
Even water when mixed with milk, sell as milk,
Look at the unifying process of love,
The water, however, is separated from the milk,
And the taste also disappears the moment a drop of acid is introduced into it in the farm of falsehood,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
Jai sri Ram,
You are embodiment of truth and compassionate to the poor,
Even though Sati Enquired in Many ways,
The slayer of the demon Tripura Sankara spoke not a word,
Sati Concluded that the omnipresent lord had come to know everything and felt sorry that she had tried to deceive Sambhu,
May Lord bless all,
Thanks please
