Girijā (Pārvatī)

FAQs
Girijā (Pārvatī) is speaking, and she addresses Pinākin—Śiva, the bearer of the bow Pināka.
The verse highlights krodha (anger): her eyes are described as reddened, her brows are knit, and her face is contorted—classic markers of an angry, forceful response.
“Pinākin” is an epithet of Śiva meaning “the one who bears the bow Pināka,” used in Purāṇic narration to signal his divine identity through a characteristic weapon-title.
