सुरसरि जल कृत बारुनि जाना । कबहुँ न सन्त करहिँ तेहि पाना ॥
सुरसरि मिलें सो पावन जैसें । ईस अनीसहि अन्तर तैसें ॥
surasari jala kṛta bāruni jānā | kabahum̐ na santa karahim̐ tehi pānā ||
surasari mileṃ so pāvana jaiseṃ | īsa anīsahi antara taiseṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Narada counsels tapas for Shiva
Narada goes on. Liquor made with Ganga water is still never drunk by saints, while that same water, once it joins the Ganga, becomes holy; such is the gap between the Lord and one who is not the Lord. Shambhu is the Bhagavan, mighty by nature, and this marriage is good in every way. Mahesha is hard to please, yet he is Ashutosha, quick to be pleased once hardship is borne. If your daughter does tapas, Tripurari can erase even what fate has written. There are many grooms in the world, but for her there is none other than Shiva. Without worshipping Shiva, millions of yoga and japa do not bring the desired fruit. Remembering Hari, Narada blesses Girija and tells the mountain to drop his doubt.
सम्भु सहज समरथ भगवाना । एहि बिबाहँ सब विधि कल्याना ॥
दुराराध्य पै अहहिँ महेसू । आसुतोष पुनि किये कलेसू ॥
sambhu sahaja samaratha bhagavānā | ehi bibāham̐ saba vidhi kalyānā ||
durārādhya pai ahahim̐ mahesū | āsutoṣa puni kiye kalesū ||
जौँ तप करइ कुमारि तुम्हारी । भाविउ मेटि सकहिँ त्रिपुरारी ॥
जद्यपि बर अनेक जग माहीं । एहि कहँ सिव, तजि दूसर नाहीँ ॥
jaum̐ tapa karai kumāri tumhārī | bhāviu meṭi sakahim̐ tripurārī ||
jadyapi bara aneka jaga māhīṃ | ehi kaham̐ siva, taji dūsara nāhīm̐ ||
बर-दायक प्रनतारति-भञ्जन । कृपासिन्धु सेवक-मन-रञ्जन ॥
इच्छित-फल बिनु सिव अवराधे । लहिअ न कोटि जोग जप साधें ॥
bara-dāyaka pranatārati-bhañjana | kṛpāsindhu sevaka-mana-rañjana ||
icchita-phala binu siva avarādhe | lahia na koṭi joga japa sādheṃ ||
अस कहि नारद सुमिरि हरि, गिरिजहि दीन्हि असीस ।
होइहि यह कल्यान अब, कल्यान संसय तजहु गिरीस ॥
asa kahi nārada sumiri hari, girijahi dīnhi asīsa |
hoihi yaha kalyāna aba, kalyāna saṃsaya tajahu girīsa ||
