सिवहि सम्भुगन करहिँ सिँगारा । जटा-मुकुट अहि-मौर सँवारा ॥
कुंडल कङ्कन पहिरे ब्याला । तन-बिभूति पट-केहरि-छाला ॥
sivahi sambhugana karahim̐ sim̐gārā | jaṭā-mukuṭa ahi-maura sam̐vārā ||
kuṃḍala kaṅkana pahire byālā | tana-bibhūti paṭa-kehari-chālā ||

What happens in this chapter
Shiva adorned as bridegroom
Shambhu's ganas dress Shiva for his wedding. Matted hair forms his crown with a crest of serpents; snakes serve as earrings and bracelets; ash covers his body, a tiger skin his waist. The moon is on his brow, Ganga on his head, three eyes, a serpent for sacred thread, poison in his throat, skulls on his chest. His dress is inauspicious, yet he is the home of all good and full of mercy. With trident and damaru he mounts the bull. The devas' wives smile: no bride in the world fits such a groom. The devas ride along, but their splendid company does not match the groom, so Vishnu laughingly tells the guardians of the quarters to march apart with their own hosts.
ससि ललाट सुन्दर सिर गङ्गा । नयन-तीनि उपबीत-भुजङ्गा ॥
गरल-कंठ उर नर-सिर-माला । असिव-बेष सिव-धाम कृपाला ॥
sasi lalāṭa sundara sira gaṅgā | nayana-tīni upabīta-bhujaṅgā ||
garala-kaṃṭha ura nara-sira-mālā | asiva-beṣa siva-dhāma kṛpālā ||
कर त्रिसूल अरु डमरु बिराजा । चले बसहँ चढ़ि बाजहिँ बाजा ॥
देखि सिवहि सुर-त्रिय मुसुकाहीँ । बर लायक दुलहिनि जग नाहीं ॥
kara trisūla aru ḍamaru birājā | cale basaham̐ car̤hi bājahim̐ bājā ||
dekhi sivahi sura-triya musukāhīm̐ | bara lāyaka dulahini jaga nāhīṃ ||
बिष्नु बिरच्जि आदि सुर ब्राता । चढ़ि चढ़ि बाहन चले बराता ॥
सुर-समाज सब भाँति अनूपा । नहिँ बरात दूलह अनुरूपा ॥
biṣnu biracji ādi sura brātā | car̤hi car̤hi bāhana cale barātā ||
sura-samāja saba bhām̐ti anūpā | nahim̐ barāta dūlaha anurūpā ||
बिष्नु कहा अस बिहँसि तब, बोलि सकल दिसिराज ।
बिलग बिलग होइ चलहु सब, निज निज सहित समाज ॥
biṣnu kahā asa biham̐si taba, boli sakala disirāja |
bilaga bilaga hoi calahu saba, nija nija sahita samāja ||
