Shiva Purana — Rudra Samhita — Chapter 86
SiP 2 86.1
।। ब्रह्मोवाच ।। एवं तपत्यां पार्वत्यां शिवप्राप्तौ मुनीश्वर।। चिरकालो व्यतीयाय प्रादुर्भूतो हरो न हि सर्वे भवंतो गच्छंतु स्वं स्वं धाम प्रहर्षिताः ।। भविष्यत्येव तुष्टोऽसौ नात्र कार्य्या विचारणा गतेषु तेषु सूर्येषु सखीभिः परिवारिता ।। तपस्तेपे तदधिकं परमार्थसुनिश्चया
|| brahmovāca || evaṃ tapatyāṃ pārvatyāṃ śivaprāptau munīśvara|| cirakālo vyatīyāya prādurbhūto haro na hi sarve bhavaṃto gacchaṃtu svaṃ svaṃ dhāma praharṣitāḥ || bhaviṣyatyeva tuṣṭo'sau nātra kāryyā vicāraṇā gateṣu teṣu sūryeṣu sakhībhiḥ parivāritā || tapastepe tadadhikaṃ paramārthasuniścayā
Brahmā said: While Pārvatī was thus performing austerity for the obtaining of Śiva, O lord of sages, a long time passed by and Hara did not appear. (They said:) "Let all of you go, well pleased, each to his own abode; he will surely be gratified — no deliberation is needed here." When those (gods) had gone, she, surrounded by her companions, performed austerity greater still, wholly resolved upon the supreme goal.

हिमालयस्तदागत्य पार्वतीं कृतनिश्चयाम्।। सभार्यस्ससुतामात्य उवाच परमेश्वरीम् ।। ब्रह्मोवाच ।। एवं प्रोक्ता यदा तन्वी सा सर्वैस्तपसि स्थिता ।। उवाच प्रहसंत्येव हिमवंतं शुचिस्मिता तदा सुरासुराः सर्वे यक्षकिन्नरचारणाः।। सिद्धास्साध्याश्च मुनयो विद्याधरमहोरगाः।। इत्याकर्ण्य वचस्तेषामस्मदादि दिवौकसाम् ।। शेषासने समाविष्टोऽस्मानुवाच रमेश्वरः तस्माद्भवद्भिर्गंतव्यं मया सार्द्धं विचक्षणैः ।। शंभुं शुभकरं मत्वा शरणं तस्य सुप्रभो योगपट्टस्थितं शंभुं गणैश्च परिवारितम् ।। तपोरूपं दधानं च परमेश्वररूपिणम्
himālayastadāgatya pārvatīṃ kṛtaniścayām|| sabhāryassasutāmātya uvāca parameśvarīm || brahmovāca || evaṃ proktā yadā tanvī sā sarvaistapasi sthitā || uvāca prahasaṃtyeva himavaṃtaṃ śucismitā tadā surāsurāḥ sarve yakṣakinnaracāraṇāḥ|| siddhāssādhyāśca munayo vidyādharamahoragāḥ|| ityākarṇya vacasteṣāmasmadādi divaukasām || śeṣāsane samāviṣṭo'smānuvāca rameśvaraḥ tasmādbhavadbhirgaṃtavyaṃ mayā sārddhaṃ vicakṣaṇaiḥ || śaṃbhuṃ śubhakaraṃ matvā śaraṇaṃ tasya suprabho yogapaṭṭasthitaṃ śaṃbhuṃ gaṇaiśca parivāritam || taporūpaṃ dadhānaṃ ca parameśvararūpiṇam
Then Himālaya, having come with his wife, sons and ministers, spoke to Pārvatī, the supreme goddess, who was firm in her resolve. Brahmā said: When the slender one, established in austerity, was thus addressed by all of them, she of the pure smile, laughing, spoke to Himavān. Then all the gods and asuras, yakṣas, kinnaras and cāraṇas, siddhas, sādhyas and sages, vidyādharas and great serpents — having heard that speech of theirs, of us dwellers in heaven and the rest, Rameśvara, seated upon the couch of Śeṣa, said to us: "Therefore you discerning ones must go together with me, holding Śambhu, the maker of good, to be (our) refuge, O radiant one" — (to) Śambhu seated in the yoga-band and surrounded by his hosts, bearing the form of austerity and having the form of the supreme Lord.

Himālaya said: Do not be distressed, greatly blessed Pārvatī, by this austerity. Rudra is not seen, child; he is free of attachment — there is no doubt of this.
