तब नारद सबही समुझावा । पूरब-कथा-प्रसङ्ग सुनावा ॥
मैना सत्य सुनहु मम बानी । जगदम्बा तव सुता भवानी ॥
taba nārada sabahī samujhāvā | pūraba-kathā-prasaṅga sunāvā ||
mainā satya sunahu mama bānī | jagadambā tava sutā bhavānī ||

What happens in this chapter
Narada reveals who Parvati is
Narada explains the earlier history. Maina, hear the truth: your daughter Bhavani is Jagadamba, the unborn, beginningless, imperishable Shakti, ever dwelling as half of Shambhu. She creates, sustains and dissolves the world and takes a body at will for her leela. First born in Daksha's house as Sati, she married Shankara. Once, returning with Shiva, she saw the sun of the Raghu line, fell into delusion, ignored Shiva and took on Sita's form. For that Shankara set her aside, and in separation she burned in yogic fire at her father's yajna. Now born in your house, she has done fierce tapas for her own husband. Girija is Shankara's beloved forever. The grief lifts, and the news reaches every house.
अजा अनादि-सक्ति अबिनासिनि । सदा सम्भु अरधंग-निवासिनि ॥
जग-सम्भव-पालन-लय कारिनि । निज-इच्छा लीला बपु धारिनि ॥
ajā anādi-sakti abināsini | sadā sambhu aradhaṃga-nivāsini ||
jaga-sambhava-pālana-laya kārini | nija-icchā līlā bapu dhārini ||
जनमीं प्रथम दच्छ-गृह जाई । नाम सती सुन्दर तनु पाई ॥
तहउँ सती सङ्करहि बिबाहीं । कथा प्रसिद्ध सकल जग माहीँ ॥
janamīṃ prathama daccha-gṛha jāī | nāma satī sundara tanu pāī ||
tahaum̐ satī saṅkarahi bibāhīṃ | kathā prasiddha sakala jaga māhīm̐ ||
एक बार आवत सिव सङ्गा । देखेउ रघुकुल कमल पतङ्गा ॥
भयउ मोह सिव कहा न कीन्हा । भ्रम बस बेष सीय कर लीन्हा ॥
eka bāra āvata siva saṅgā | dekheu raghukula kamala pataṅgā ||
bhayau moha siva kahā na kīnhā | bhrama basa beṣa sīya kara līnhā ||
सिय बेष सती जो कीन्ह तेहि, अपराध सङ्कर परिहरीं ।
हर बिरहँ जाइ बहोरि पितु कें, जग्य जोगानल जरीं ॥
अब जनमि तुम्हरे भवन निज पति लागि दारुन तप किया ।
अस जानि संसय तजहु गिरिजा, सर्बदा सङ्कर प्रिया ॥
siya beṣa satī jo kīnha tehi, aparādha saṅkara pariharīṃ |
hara biraham̐ jāi bahori pitu keṃ, jagya jogānala jarīṃ ||
aba janami tumhare bhavana nija pati lāgi dāruna tapa kiyā |
asa jāni saṃsaya tajahu girijā, sarbadā saṅkara priyā ||
सुनि नारद के बचन तब, सब कर मिटा विषाद ।
छन महँ ब्यापेउ सकल पुर, घर घर यह सम्बाद ॥
suni nārada ke bacana taba, saba kara miṭā viṣāda |
chana maham̐ byāpeu sakala pura, ghara ghara yaha sambāda ||
