कह मुनि बिहँसि गूढ मृदु बानी । सुता तुम्हारि सकल-गुन-खानी ॥
सुन्दर सहज सुसील सयानी । नाम उमा अम्बिका भवानी ॥
kaha muni biham̐si gūḍha mṛdu bānī | sutā tumhāri sakala-guna-khānī ||
sundara sahaja susīla sayānī | nāma umā ambikā bhavānī ||

What happens in this chapter
Narada reads Parvati's hand
Narada smiles and speaks in soft words with a hidden meaning. Your daughter is a mine of every virtue, he says: beautiful, gentle and wise by nature, named Uma, Ambika and Bhavani. She bears every auspicious mark, will always be dear to her husband, and her married state will never be broken. She will be worshipped everywhere and bring her parents fame. Remembering her name, women will walk the sword's edge of a faithful wife's vow. Then he names a few 'faults': her husband will have no qualities, no pride, no mother or father; he will be detached and free of doubts, a yogi with matted hair, desireless, naked, wearing an inauspicious dress. Such a line is drawn on her palm.
सब लच्छन-सम्पन्न कुमारी । होइहि सन्तत पियहि पियारी ॥
सदा अचल एहि कर अहिवाता । एहि तेँ जस पैहहिं पितु-माता ॥
saba lacchana-sampanna kumārī | hoihi santata piyahi piyārī ||
sadā acala ehi kara ahivātā | ehi tem̐ jasa paihahiṃ pitu-mātā ||
होइहि पूज्य सकल जग माहीं । एहि सेवत कछु दुर्लभ नाहीँ ॥
एहि कर नाम सुमिरि संसारा । तिय चढ़हहिं पतिव्रत असि धारा ॥
hoihi pūjya sakala jaga māhīṃ | ehi sevata kachu durlabha nāhīm̐ ||
ehi kara nāma sumiri saṃsārā | tiya car̤hahahiṃ pativrata asi dhārā ||
सैल सुलच्छन सुता तुम्हारी । सुनहु जे अब अवगुन दुइ-चारी ॥
अगुन अमान मातु-पितु हीना । उदासीन सब संसय छीना ॥
saila sulacchana sutā tumhārī | sunahu je aba avaguna dui-cārī ||
aguna amāna mātu-pitu hīnā | udāsīna saba saṃsaya chīnā ||
जोगी जटिल अकाम-मन, नगन अमङ्गल-बेष ।
अस स्वामी एहि कहँ मिलिहि, परी हस्त असि रेख ॥
jogī jaṭila akāma-mana, nagana amaṅgala-beṣa |
asa svāmī ehi kaham̐ milihi, parī hasta asi rekha ||
