अब जौँ तुम्हहिँ सुता पर नेहू । तो अस जाइ सिखावन देहू ॥
करइ सो तप जेहिं मिलहिँ महेसू । आन उपायँ न मिटिहि कलेसू ॥
aba jaum̐ tumhahim̐ sutā para nehū | to asa jāi sikhāvana dehū ||
karai so tapa jehiṃ milahim̐ mahesū | āna upāyam̐ na miṭihi kalesū ||

What happens in this chapter
Mother and daughter, and Uma's dream
Himavan tells Maina: if you love your daughter, go and teach her to do tapas so that she may gain Mahesha; no other remedy will end this trouble. Narada's words carry deep meaning and good reason; Vrishaketu is beautiful and a treasury of virtues, and Shankara is without stain in every way, so drop your fear. Glad at heart, Maina rises and goes at once to Girija. Seeing Uma, her eyes fill and she seats her lovingly in her lap. Again and again she holds her to her breast, her throat choked so that she cannot speak. Then Bhavani, mother of the world, who knows all, speaks softly to comfort her mother: listen, she says, I have seen a dream; a fair and handsome noble Brahmin gave me this teaching.
नारद बचन सगर्भ सहेतू । सुन्दर सब-गुन-निधि-बृषकेतू ॥
अस बिचारि तुम्ह तजहु असङ्का । सबहि भाँति सङ्कर अकलङ्का ॥
nārada bacana sagarbha sahetū | sundara saba-guna-nidhi-bṛṣaketū ||
asa bicāri tumha tajahu asaṅkā | sabahi bhām̐ti saṅkara akalaṅkā ||
सुनि पति-बचन हरषि मन माहीँ । गई तुरत उठि गिरिजा पाहीँ ॥
उमहि बिलोकि नयन भरे बारी । सहित सनेह गोद बैठारी ॥
suni pati-bacana haraṣi mana māhīm̐ | gaī turata uṭhi girijā pāhīm̐ ||
umahi biloki nayana bhare bārī | sahita saneha goda baiṭhārī ||
बारहिँ बार लेति उर लाई । गदगद कंठ न कछु कहि जाई ॥
जगत-मातु सर्बज्ञ भवानी । मातु-सुखद बोलीं मृदु-बानी ॥
bārahim̐ bāra leti ura lāī | gadagada kaṃṭha na kachu kahi jāī ||
jagata-mātu sarbajña bhavānī | mātu-sukhada bolīṃ mṛdu-bānī ||
सुनहि मातु मैं दीख अस, सपन सुनावउँ तोहि ।
सुन्दर गौर सुबिप्र-बर, अस उपदेसेउ मोहि ॥
sunahi mātu maiṃ dīkha asa, sapana sunāvaum̐ tohi |
sundara gaura subipra-bara, asa upadeseu mohi ||
