त्रिदेवा अपि मे रूपं हरः पूर्णो विशेषतः ॥ उमाया अपि रूपाणि भविष्यंति त्रिधा सुताः ॥५६॥

All the three deities are my forms. But Śiva is particularly my full manifestation O sons, Śivā’s forms too shall be three.

लक्ष्मीर्नाम हरेः पत्नी ब्रह्मपत्नी सरस्वती ॥ पूर्णरूपा सती नाम रुद्रपत्नी भविष्यति॥५७॥।

The form Lakṣmī is Viṣṇu’s wife; Brahmā’s wife is Sarasvatī. The perfect form Satī shall become Rudra’s wife.

विष्णुरुवाच ॥ इत्युक्त्वांतर्हितो जातः कृपां कृत्वा महेश्वरः ॥ अभूतां सुखिनावावां स्वस्वकार्यपरायणौ ॥ ५८ ॥

After saying this, the great lord blessed us and vanished. We bent our heads and joined our palms in reverence and returned to our respective abodes. Engaged in our own tasks we were very happy.

समयं प्राप्य सस्त्रीकावावां ब्रह्मन्न शंकरः॥ अवतीर्णस्स्वयं रुद्रनामा कैलाससंश्रयः॥५९॥

In due course we secured our wives. Śiva incarnated as Rudra at Kailāsa, His residence.

O lord of subjects, Śivā too shall incarnate as Satī. An effort shall be made for Her future incarnation.
