Gaurī’s Rebirth, Umā’s Austerities, Rudra’s Test, and the Himalayan Wedding
गौर्याः उत्पत्तिर् एषा वै कथिता परमर्षिणा । विवाहश्च यथा वृत्तस् तत्सर्वं कथितं तव ॥ २२.५२ ॥
gauryā utpattir eṣā vai kathitā paramarṣiṇā | vivāhaś ca yathā vṛttas tat sarvaṃ kathitaṃ tava || 22.52 ||
गौरी का जनम कैसे हुआ, यह बड़े रिशि ने बताया है। और उसका विवाह कैसे हुआ, वो भी मैंने तुम्हे पूरा बता दिया है।
Varāha
It functions as a formal narrative closure typical of Purāṇic discourse, marking that the requested account (origin and marriage episode) has been fully transmitted within the teacher–inquirer framework.
No specific geographic location is named in this verse; it is a concluding statement summarizing the narrative content rather than situating it in a place.
The verse emphasizes disciplined transmission of knowledge—an archival principle in Purāṇic literature—where an account is presented as complete and responsibly communicated to the inquirer.
