मोर कहा सुनि करहु उपाई । होइहि ईस्वर करिहि सहाई ॥
सतीं जो तजी दच्छ-मख देहा । जनमी जाइ हिमाचल गेहा ॥
mora kahā suni karahu upāī | hoihi īsvara karihi sahāī ||
satīṃ jo tajī daccha-makha dehā | janamī jāi himācala gehā ||

What happens in this chapter
The devas send Kamadeva to Shiva
Brahma goes on: do as I say, and Ishvara will help. Sati, who gave up her body at Daksha's yajna, was born in Himachal's house and has done tapas to win Shambhu as husband. Shiva has left everything and sits in samadhi. It is an awkward matter, yet hear one plan: send Kama to Shiva to stir his mind. Then we will go, bow to Shiva and get the marriage done even by insistence. This way the devas will be served. Everyone calls the plan excellent. The devas praise Kama with great feeling, and the fish-bannered one with his five arrows appears. They tell him their whole trouble. He thinks it over and says with a smile: opposing Shambhu will bring me no good.
तेहिं तप कीन्ह सम्भु पति लागी । सिव समाधि बैठे सब त्यागी ॥
जदपि अहइ असमञ्जस भारी । तदपि बात एक सुनहु हमारी ॥
tehiṃ tapa kīnha sambhu pati lāgī | siva samādhi baiṭhe saba tyāgī ||
jadapi ahai asamañjasa bhārī | tadapi bāta eka sunahu hamārī ||
पठवहु काम जाइ सिव पाहीँ । करइ छोभ सङ्कर मन माहीं ॥
तब हम जाइ सिवहि सिर नाई । करवाउब बिबाह बरिआई ॥
paṭhavahu kāma jāi siva pāhīm̐ | karai chobha saṅkara mana māhīṃ ||
taba hama jāi sivahi sira nāī | karavāuba bibāha bariāī ||
एहि विधि भलेहि देव हित होई । मत अति नीक कहइ सब कोई ॥
अस्तुति सुरन्ह कीन्हि अति-हेतू । प्रगटेउ विषमबान झखकेतू ॥
ehi vidhi bhalehi deva hita hoī | mata ati nīka kahai saba koī ||
astuti suranha kīnhi ati-hetū | pragaṭeu viṣamabāna jhakhaketū ||
सुरन्ह कहीं निज बिपति सब, सुनि मन कीन्ह बिचार ।
सम्भु बिरोध न कुसल मोहि, बिहँसि कहेउ अस मार ॥
suranha kahīṃ nija bipati saba, suni mana kīnha bicāra |
sambhu birodha na kusala mohi, biham̐si kaheu asa māra ||
