देवा ऊचुः ।। एकान्तभक्त्या शैलश्चेत्कन्यां तस्मै प्रदास्यति ।। ध्रुवं निर्वाणता सद्यस्स प्राप्स्यति च भारते पिनाकिना विना दुर्गा वरं नान्यं वरिष्यति ।। अनिच्छया सुतां दत्त्वा फलं तूर्णं लभिष्यति देवानां तद्वचः श्रुत्वा शिवनिन्दाकरं तदा ।। वेदवक्ता विलप्याहं तानवोचं सुरान्मुने देवा मुमुदिरे सर्वे शीघ्रं गत्वा स्वमंदिरम्।। सिद्धं मत्वा स्वकार्य्यं हि प्रशंसन्तस्सदाशिवम् पुनः पप्रच्छ शैलेशस्तं ततः को भवानिति ।। उवाच शीघ्रं विप्रेन्द्रो गिरीद्रं सादरं वचः पश्य शैलाधिप त्वं च न तस्यैकोस्ति बान्धवः ।। महारत्नाकरस्त्वञ्च तस्य किञ्चिद्धनं न हि
devā ūcuḥ || ekāntabhaktyā śailaścetkanyāṃ tasmai pradāsyati || dhruvaṃ nirvāṇatā sadyassa prāpsyati ca bhārate pinākinā vinā durgā varaṃ nānyaṃ variṣyati || anicchayā sutāṃ dattvā phalaṃ tūrṇaṃ labhiṣyati devānāṃ tadvacaḥ śrutvā śivanindākaraṃ tadā || vedavaktā vilapyāhaṃ tānavocaṃ surānmune devā mumudire sarve śīghraṃ gatvā svamaṃdiram|| siddhaṃ matvā svakāryyaṃ hi praśaṃsantassadāśivam punaḥ papraccha śaileśastaṃ tataḥ ko bhavāniti || uvāca śīghraṃ viprendro girīdraṃ sādaraṃ vacaḥ paśya śailādhipa tvaṃ ca na tasyaikosti bāndhavaḥ || mahāratnākarastvañca tasya kiñciddhanaṃ na hi
The gods said: If the mountain, out of single-minded devotion, gives his daughter to him, then surely he will at once attain the state of nirvāṇa, and in Bhārata (he would no longer remain). Durgā will choose no other bridegroom than the bearer of the Pināka; by giving his daughter unwillingly he will obtain the fruit quickly. Hearing that speech of the gods, which disparaged Śiva, I, the speaker of the Vedas, lamenting, then said (this) to those gods, O sage. All the gods rejoiced and went quickly to their own dwellings, thinking their own purpose accomplished, praising Sadāśiva. Then the lord of the mountain asked him again, "Who, then, are you?" At once the best of brahmins spoke respectfully to the lord of mountains: "Look, O lord of mountains: you have not even one kinsman of his (kind); and you are a great mine of jewels, while he has no wealth whatsoever."
