The rishis tell Himavan everything. He grieves to hear of Kama's burning, then rejoices to hear of the boon to Rati. Reflecting on Shambhu's greatness, he respectfully calls the great sages, has an auspicious day, nakshatra and hour worked out, and quickly fixes the lagna by Vedic rule. He gives the letter to the seven rishis, clasping their feet in humility. They take it to Brahma, who cannot contain his love as he reads it. Brahma reads the lagna aloud to all, and the gathered devas are delighted. Flowers rain, music sounds in the sky, and auspicious kalashas are set up in all ten directions. The devas begin decking their mounts and vimanas, good omens appear, and apsaras sing.
सबु प्रसंगु गिरिपतिहि सुनावा । मदन दहन सुनि अति दुख पावा ॥
बहुरि कहेउ रति कर बरदाना । सुनि हिमवन्त बहुत सुख माना ॥
sabu prasaṃgu giripatihi sunāvā | madana dahana suni ati dukha pāvā ||
bahuri kaheu rati kara baradānā | suni himavanta bahuta sukha mānā ||
हृदयँ बिचारि सम्भु प्रभुताई । सादर मुनिवर लिये बोलाई ॥
सुदिन सुनखत सुघरी सोचाई । बेगि बेद विधि लगन धराई ॥
hṛdayam̐ bicāri sambhu prabhutāī | sādara munivara liye bolāī ||
sudina sunakhata sugharī socāī | begi beda vidhi lagana dharāī ||
पत्री सप्तरिषिन्ह सोइ दीन्ही । गहि पद विनय हिमाचल कीन्ही ॥
जाइ विधिहि दीन्हि से पाती । बाचत प्रीति न हृदयँ समाती ॥
patrī saptariṣinha soi dīnhī | gahi pada vinaya himācala kīnhī ||
jāi vidhihi dīnhi se pātī | bācata prīti na hṛdayam̐ samātī ||
लगन बाचि बिधि सबहि सुनाई । हरषे सुनि सब सुर समुदाई ॥
सुमन वृष्टि नभ बाजन बाजे । मङ्गल कलस दसहुँ दिसि साजे ॥
lagana bāci bidhi sabahi sunāī | haraṣe suni saba sura samudāī ||
sumana vṛṣṭi nabha bājana bāje | maṅgala kalasa dasahum̐ disi sāje ||
लगे सँवारन सकल सुर, बाहन बिबिध बिमान ।
होहिँ सगुन मङ्गल सुखद, करहिँ अपछरा गान ॥
lage sam̐vārana sakala sura, bāhana bibidha bimāna |
hohim̐ saguna maṅgala sukhada, karahim̐ apacharā gāna ||
