पार्वतीजन्मवर्णनम् / Description of Pārvatī’s Birth
उपेत्य दौहदं शल्यं यद्वव्रेऽपश्यदाशु तत् । आनीतं नेष्टमस्याद्धा नासाध्यं त्रिदिवैऽपि हि
upetya dauhadaṃ śalyaṃ yadvavre'paśyadāśu tat | ānītaṃ neṣṭamasyāddhā nāsādhyaṃ tridivai'pi hi
ولمّا دنا منها أدرك سريعًا شوكةَ الألم في شوقها—ذلك الذي اختارته في قلبها. حقًّا، جِيءَ بما تحبّ في الحال؛ إذ لا شيء يُعَدّ مستحيلًا لمن يخدم المقصد الإلهي، حتى لآلهة السماوات الثلاث.

It highlights that intense inner longing (dauhāda) becomes a ‘thorn’ until aligned with dharma and divine grace; when the will is rightly set, obstacles that seem impossible—even to the gods—are removed through higher agency.
The verse supports the Shaiva Siddhanta emphasis on Saguna Shiva’s grace: sincere devotion and right intention draw the Lord’s compassionate intervention, making the devotee’s spiritual aim attainable.
A practical takeaway is to steady the heart’s desire through japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and devotional vrata, so longing transforms into focused bhakti that invites Shiva’s grace.
