The sage smilingly replied in the following soft yet significant words: ìYour
daughter is a mine of all virtuesópretty, amiable and intelligent by nature. She will be
called Umå, Ambikå (lit., mother) and Bhavån∂. Adorned with all good traits, the girl shall
win the unfailing love of her husband.She shall remain ever united with her lord and bring
glory to her parents. She shall command the respect of the whole universe; he who waits
upon her shall lack nothing. By the mere thought of her name women in this world shall
be enabled to tread the path of fidelity to their lord, which is sharp as the edge of a sword.
Your daughter, O Himålaya, is endowed with auspicious marks. Hear now the few
drawbacks she possesses. Devoid of merits, free from pride, without father or mother,
unconcerned and free from doubtsó (1ó4)
