सोमप्रभोवाच तपश्चर्या द्विजश्रेष्ठ पार्वत्या येन हेतुना तं शृणुष्व त्वियं काली हरं भर्तारमिच्छति
somaprabhovāca tapaścaryā dvijaśreṣṭha pārvatyā yena hetunā taṃ śṛṇuṣva tviyaṃ kālī haraṃ bhartāramicchati
Somaprabhā dit : Ô le meilleur des deux-fois-nés, écoute la raison pour laquelle Pārvatī pratique l’austérité : cette Kāli désire Hara (Śiva) pour époux.

Desire is presented in a sanctified frame: not mere craving, but a purposeful vow (tapaścaryā) oriented toward a dharmic, cosmic union—channeling intention through discipline.
Carita/Vamśānucarita-type episode: it explains motivations behind divine actions (Devī’s tapas) within the Purāṇic narrative tradition.
Kālī seeking Hara signals the reintegration of transformative power (Kālī/Śakti) with stabilizing consciousness (Śiva/Hara), a classic Purāṇic emblem of cosmic balance.
