ब्रह्मोवाच ॥ इत्युक्त्वा पार्वती वह्नौ तत्पुरः प्रविवेश सा ॥ निषिध्यमाना पुरतो ब्राह्मणेन पुनः पुनः ॥२१॥
Brahmā said: After saying so, Pārvatī jumped into the fire in the presence of the brahmin although she was forbidden by Him again and again.
english translation
वह्निप्रवेशं कुर्वत्याः पार्वत्यास्तत्प्रभावतः॥ बभूव तत्क्षणं सद्यो वह्नि श्चंदनपंकवत् ॥२२॥
Even as she jumped into the fire, it became as cool as sandal paste due to her ascetic power.
english translation
क्षणं तदंतरे स्थित्वा ह्युत्पतंती दिवं द्विजः ॥ पुनः पप्रच्छ सहसा विहसन्सुतनुं शिवः ॥२३॥
The brahmin stopped her standing on her way as she was trying to go away and asked her laughingly.
english translation
द्विज उवाच ॥ अहो तपस्ते किं भद्रे न बुद्धं किंचिदेव हि ॥ न दग्धो वह्निना देहो न च प्राप्तं मनीषितम्॥२४॥
The Brahmin said: O gentle lady, I cannot understand anything. Your penance is wonderful. Your body is not charred by the fire. Still your desire remains unsatiated so far.
english translation
अतस्सत्यं निकामं वै वद देवि मनोरथम् ॥ ममाग्रे विप्रवर्यस्य सर्वानंदप्रदस्य हि ॥२५॥
O gentle lady, let me know about your desire; I am a brahmin who can bestow pleasure upon everyone.
