With that Narada leaves for Brahma's abode. Alone with her husband, Maina says she did not understand the sage's words. If house, groom and family are matchless and fit for their daughter, let the marriage happen; otherwise let the girl stay unmarried, for Uma is dear to her as life. If no worthy groom is found, everyone will say the mountain is dull by nature. So, she pleads, arrange a marriage that will never leave the heart burning afterwards. Saying this she falls at his feet, her eyes full. Himavan answers with tenderness: fire may appear in the moon, but Narada's word will not prove false. Give up all worry, beloved, and remember the Lord; he who made Parvati will bring about her good.
कहि अस कहि ब्रह्म-भवन मुनि गयऊ । आगिल चरित सुनहु जस भयऊ ॥
पतिहि एकान्त पाइ कह मैना । नाथ न मैं समुझे मुनि-बैना ॥
kahi asa kahi brahma-bhavana muni gayaū | āgila carita sunahu jasa bhayaū ||
patihi ekānta pāi kaha mainā | nātha na maiṃ samujhe muni-bainā ||
जौँ घर बर कुल होइ अनूपा । करिय बिबाह सुता-अनुरूपा ॥
न त कन्या बरु रहउ कुआरी । कन्त उमा मम प्रान-पियारी ॥
jaum̐ ghara bara kula hoi anūpā | kariya bibāha sutā-anurūpā ||
na ta kanyā baru rahau kuārī | kanta umā mama prāna-piyārī ||
जौँ न मिलिहि बर गिरिजहि जोगू । गिरि जड़ सहज कहिहि सब लोगू ॥
सोइ बिचारि पति करेहु बिबाहू । जेहिं न बहोरि होइ उर दाहू ॥
jaum̐ na milihi bara girijahi jogū | giri jar̤a sahaja kahihi saba logū ||
soi bicāri pati karehu bibāhū | jehiṃ na bahori hoi ura dāhū ||
अस कहि परी चरन धरि सीसा । बोले सहित सनेह गिरीसा ॥
बरु पावक प्रगटै ससि माहीँ । नारद बचन अन्यथा नाहीं ॥
asa kahi parī carana dhari sīsā | bole sahita saneha girīsā ||
baru pāvaka pragaṭai sasi māhīm̐ | nārada bacana anyathā nāhīṃ ||
प्रिया सोच परिहरहु सब, सुमिरहु श्रीभगवान ।
पारबती निरमयउ जेहिं, सोइ करिहि कल्यान ॥
priyā soca pariharahu saba, sumirahu śrībhagavāna |
pārabatī niramayau jehiṃ, soi karihi kalyāna ||
