हिमालयस्य निर्णयः — शिवाय पार्वत्याः प्रदाने
Himālaya’s Resolution to Give Pārvatī to Śiva
मदीयं च शरीरम्वै पत्नी मेना सुतास्सुता । ऋद्धिस्सिद्धिश्च चान्यद्वै शिवस्यैव न चान्यथा
madīyaṃ ca śarīramvai patnī menā sutāssutā | ṛddhissiddhiśca cānyadvai śivasyaiva na cānyathā
নিশ্চয় মোৰ এই দেহো যেন তেওঁৰেই; পত্নী মেনা আৰু কন্যাৰ কন্যাও। ঋদ্ধি, সিদ্ধি আৰু যি কিছু আছে—সকলো সত্যতে কেৱল শিৱৰেই, অন্যথা নহয়।
