इत्युक्ता तां तथेत्युक्त्त्वा जगाम सा गिरिं शुभा । उमापि पितुरुद्यानं जगामाद्रिसुताद्भुतम्
ityuktā tāṃ tathetyukttvā jagāma sā giriṃ śubhā | umāpi piturudyānaṃ jagāmādrisutādbhutam
یوں کہے جانے پر اُس نے “تتھاستُو” کہا اور وہ مبارک ہستی پہاڑ کی طرف چلی گئی۔ اور اُما بھی—پہاڑ کی عجیب و غریب دختر—اپنے پتا کے باغیچے کی طرف روانہ ہوئی۔

FAQs
The verse narrates movements after a brief exchange: an auspicious woman departs for a mountain, and Uma (Pārvatī), called the wondrous daughter of the mountain, goes to her father’s garden-grove.
“Adri-sutā” literally means “daughter of the mountain” and is an epithet of Uma/Pārvatī, implying her parentage from the Himālaya (her father, mentioned implicitly).
The verse mainly serves as narrative transition; the implicit lesson is prompt, respectful compliance (“tathā”—“so be it”) and orderly movement in accordance with what has been instructed.
