जयिष्ये त्रिदशान्सर्वान्विष्णुरुद्रपुरोगमान् । हरिष्ये पर्वतसुतां तया मेऽपहृतं मनः
jayiṣye tridaśānsarvānviṣṇurudrapurogamān | hariṣye parvatasutāṃ tayā me'pahṛtaṃ manaḥ
“میں تمام تریدش دیوتاؤں کو فتح کروں گا، حتیٰ کہ وشنو اور رودر کی قیادت والوں کو بھی۔ میں پہاڑ کی دختر کو لے جاؤں گا، کیونکہ اسی نے میرا دل چرا لیا ہے۔”
Unspecified in the provided excerpt (context needed from surrounding verses)
Concept: Ego that challenges Viṣṇu and Rudra is self-destructive; obsession (‘mind stolen’) is not love but bondage.
Application: Do not romanticize obsession; when ambition turns into contempt for higher principles, step back and re-anchor in humility and service.

FAQs
“Parvata-sutā” is a common epithet of Pārvatī, the daughter of Himālaya (the mountain-king), and consort of Rudra/Śiva.
It depicts a speaker driven by obsessive desire and arrogance—claiming conquest over the gods—highlighting how infatuation and pride can lead to adharma and downfall.
Not directly; it is more narrative and psychological. Indirectly, it contrasts ego-driven ambition with the Purāṇic ideal of humility and devotion, where divine order is not overcome by force.
