Having spoken thus, the sage returned to the abode of Brahmå (the Creator). Now
hear the end of the story how it came about. Finding her husband alone, Menå
(Himålayaís wife) said to him, ìMy lord, I could not follow the words of the sage. If the
match, his house and his pedigree are without parallel and worthy of our daughter, the
marriage may be concluded. If not, the girl had better remain unmarried; for, my lord,
Umå is dear to me as my own life. If we fail to secure a match worthy of Girijå, everyone
will say Himålaya is dull by nature. Keep this in mind, my lord, while concluding an
alliance, so that there may be no cause for repentance.î Having spoken these words
Menå laid herself prostrate with her head at the feet of her lord. The lord of mountains,
Himålaya, replied in endearing terms, ìSooner shall the moon emit flames of fire than the
prophecy of Nårada should prove untrue.î (1ó4)

ìNow if you cherish any love for your child, then go and admonish her that she
should practise austerity which may bring about her union with ›iva: there is no other
way of overcoming sorrow. The words of Nårada are pregnant and full of reason. ›iva
(who bears a bull for His emblem) is handsome and a mine of all virtues: recognizing
this truth do not entertain any misgiving. ›a∆kara is irreproachable in everyway .î
Hearing the above words of her husband Menå felt delighted at heart; she at once rose
and went where Girijå was. At the sight of Umå tears rushed to her eyes and she
affectionately took the girl in her lap. Again and again she hugged the child; her voice
