On hearing the story from Nārada, Pārvatī bent down her head in bashfulness but her smile heightened the beauty of her face.

On hearing the story, the lord of mountains stroked her fondly, kissed her on the head and placed her on his seat.

ततस्त्वं तां पुनर्दृष्ट्वाऽवोचस्तत्र स्थितां मुने ॥ हर्षयन् गिरिराजं च मेनकान्तनयैः सह ॥ ५३ ॥

O sage, on seeing her seated there you spoke again delighting the lord of mountains, Menakā and her sons.

सिंहासनन्तु किन्त्वस्याश्शैलराज भवेदतः ॥ शम्भोरूरौ सदैतस्या आसनं तु भविष्यति ॥५४॥

O king of mountains, she will have a better throne than this. Śiva’s thigh will be her permanent abode.
