ìAn ascetic with matted hair and a heart devoid of longing, stark naked and with
hideous accoutrementsósuch a one shall be her lord, as I can read from the lines on
her palm.î (67)

Hearing the words of the sage and believing them to be true, Himålaya and his
wife became disconsolate; while Umå felt delighted. Even Nårada could not perceive this
difference. Even though their outer expression was the same, their feeling was different,
Girijå and all her playmates, Himålaya and his wife, Menå, all had their hair standing on
their end and their eyes were full of tears. The words of the celestial sage Nårada could
not be untrue: Umå cherished them in her heart. Love for the lotus feet of ›iva sprouted
in her heart. She however, felt diffident in her mind; union with ›iva appeared so difficult
to her. Finding the time inopportune for its disclosure, she concealed her emotion and
then sat down in the lap of one of her playmates.The prediction of the sage could not be
false: the thought made Himavån and his wife as well as the senior playmates anxious.
Collecting himself, the lord of mountains said, ìTell me, holy sir, what remedy should now
be employed?î (1ó4)

The chief of sages, Nårada, replied: ìHear, O Himavån; whatever has been
decreed by Fate no one can undoónot even gods, demons, human beings, Någas or
sages. (68)
