पुरा सती दक्षकन्या त्यक्त्वा देहं पितुर्मखे ।। स्वपित्राऽनादृता जज्ञे मेनायां हिमभूधरात् नवे वयसि सद्भोगसाधने सुखकारणे ।। महोपचारसद्भोगैर्वृथैव त्वं तपस्यसि

Formerly Satī, the daughter of Dakṣa, having abandoned her body at her father's sacrifice, disregarded by her own father, was born of Menā from the snow-mountain (Himālaya). "In fresh youth, which is the means of true enjoyments and the cause of pleasure, with great appointments and fine enjoyments (at hand), you practise austerity quite in vain."

Having thus assumed the form of a matted-haired (ascetic), Śambhu Śaṅkara, fond of his devotees, filled with great affection, went to the forest of the Mountain-born. The brahmacārin said: What am I to say, great goddess? There is nothing that ought to be said. A course of conduct is seen that is greatly harmful, greatly perverse. "Passing over Indra and the foremost gods, and Viṣṇu and Brahmā too, I truly wish to obtain as husband the Trident-bearer (Śiva)." "And you do not know Śiva; you are indeed turned away from Śiva. And because worship of you was performed by me, I became afflicted with pain. One who reviles Śiva is to be slain by Śiva's servants in every way; but if he be a brahmin he is to be abandoned, and one must quickly go away from that place." When the Lord of gods had spoken thus, she, Śivā, attained great gladness; and all the pain of her austerity she quickly cast off.

She, having gone into the dense forest, practised very pure austerity, Śivā, wishing Śaṅkara for husband, accompanied by two friends. To test that austerity well, Śiva, skilled in manifold sports, sent the seven sages to Pārvatī's place of austerity.
