The sages went and despatched Himavån to Girijå and he with many entreaties
brought her home. The seven seers then called on ›iva and told Him the whole history
of Umå. ›iva was enraptured to hear of her love; and the Saptaris gladly went home.
The all-wise ›ambhu then concentrated His mind and began to meditate on the Lord of
Raghus. A demon, Tåraka by name, flourished in those days; his strength of arm, glory
and majesty were great indeed. He conquered all the spheres as well as the guardians
of those spheres; all the gods were robbed of their happiness and prosperity. Knowing
neither age nor death, he was invincible. The gods fought many a battle with him and lost
them. They then went to Vira¤ci (Brahmå) and told him their grievances. The Creator
found all the gods miserable. (1ó4)

Brahmå reassured them all saying, ìThe demon shall die only when there is a son
sprung from the loins of ›ambhu; for he alone can subdue the demon in battle.î (82)

ìHearing what I say, act accordingly; God will help you and the plan will succeed.
Sat∂, who left her body at the sacrifice performed by Daka, has been born again in the
house of Himåcala. She has undergone penance for winning the hand of ›ambhu; while
›iva has renounced everything and sits absorbed in contemplation. Although it is most
unseemly, yet hear one proposal of mine. Approaching Cupid (the god of love), send him
to ›iva; and let him disturb the serenity of ›a∆karaís mind. Then we shall go and bow
our head at ›ivaís feet and prevail on Him to marry even against His will. In this way
alone may the interests of the gods be served.î ìThe idea is excellent,î everyone said.
