तत्र तस्थौ सती धाम्नि महाविषण्णमानसा ॥ न बुबोध चरित्रं तत्कश्चिच्च शिवयोर्मुने ॥६१॥

Satī stayed in the abode, overwhelmed by grief. But O sage, no one could guess the conduct of Śiva and Śivā.

महान्कालो व्यतीयाय तयोरित्थं महामुने ॥ स्वोपात्तदेहयोः प्रभ्वोर्लोकलीलानुसारिणोः ॥ ६२ ॥

O sage, great time elapsed even as the lord and the Goddess followed the conventions of the world through the physical bodies taken up by themselves.

ध्यानं तत्याज गिरिशस्ततस्स परमार्तिहृत् ॥ तज्ज्ञात्वा जगदंबा हि सती तत्राजगाम सा ॥ ६३ ॥

Then Śiva the great enjoyer and protector stopped His meditation. On coming to know of it Satī, the mother of the universe, came there.

ननामाथ शिवं देवी हृदयेन विदूयता ॥ आसनं दत्तवाञ्शंभुः स्वसन्मुख उदारधीः ॥ ६४ ॥

The Goddess bowed to Him with a moaning heart. The benevolent Śiva offered her a seat in front of Himself.
