Sinless one, the legend of supreme Lord Shiva and Devi Sati is highly
auspicious, I feel highly delighted listening to your brilliant explanation on
the glories of that supreme Lord Mahadeva. The reading and listening to the
celestial wedding of Lord Shiva and Devi would remove false conception, it
provides supreme knowledge, and fulfills all the desires of the Jeeva. Oh!
Mahaprajja, I could not control the yearning to listen to the glorious legends
of that supreme Lord Mahadeva and Devi Sati which is beyond comparison and
words, therefore kindly continue to narrate them.”
Lord Bhrama speaks “ Oh!
Mune, Oh! Saumya, I shall explain the various legends of that compassionate
Lord Mahadeva, listen to me carefully. Lord Mahadeva and Devi Sati who is
Jagathjanani, Jaganmatha, Paramba, Bhagavathi, mounted on the celestial bull
after all the auspicious wedding rites got over, and returned to the Mount Kailash
along with the Ganas. Oh! Devarshi, the Ganas retired to their own caves and
living places leaving Lord Mahadeva and new bride Devi Sati together, with a
promise to return to their call. The valorous Vamadeva and the Ganas retired to
their own caves, leaving the newly wedded couple alone. Lord Mahadeva who is
extremely passionate, made flower garlands of various fresh alluring flowers
and adorned on the beautiful neck of Devi Sati.
Bhagavan engaged in various passionate sports with Devi Sati, adorned
her marvelous earrings, and applied red lac on the red lotus-like feet of
Jagathjanani, Bhagavathi, Paramba. Lord Mahadeva closely watched her beauty and
admired her loveliness, whispered sweet nectar-like words appreciating her
exquisiteness. Bhagavan did not leave a single moment away from the lovely Devi
Sati, he played hide and seek with that Jagathjanani, taking her in a state of
supreme ecstasy. Bhagavan engaged in various amorous sports with the Mother of The universe in solitude, and the couple presented flawless Jagathpitha and
Jaganmatha before the Ganas. The couple remained intimate to each other and
inseparable, they together took a long stroll through the beautiful lush green
beautiful lands of Himalaya, they took great pleasure in the rich natural
beauty of streams, ponds, and lake loaded with freshly bloomed lotus flowers,
dense forest, etc. The arrival of the divine couple enhanced the beauty of the
valley, the rich trees of Palasha, Sala, sandalwood, Nagakesara, mango, and
creepers were loaded flowers and fruits in the Vasantharithu, the buzzing of
honey bees, chirping of various species of birds, multiplied the loveliness of
Himalaya, there was a cool breeze carrying rich and fragrant aroma, the couple spent
a long time in the beautiful valley in solitude. The couple took extreme
pleasure in each other’s company. Bhagavan performed the duties of a flawless
Grihastha made all efforts to keep his wife happy, with his loving glances,
amusing talks, pleasant smiles, and excellent conversations. Thus, Bhagavan became inseparable from the
