ìRecognizing the truth of Nåradaís words go and practise austerity, O mountainmaid;
the idea has commended itself to your father and mother as well. Austerity is conducive
to joy and puts an end to sorrow and evils. By virtue of penance the Creator creats the
universe. By virtue of penance Viƒu protects the whole world. By virtue of penance ›ambhu
brings about dissolution. By virtue of penance, again, ›ea (the serpent-god) bears the
burden of the earth on his head. In fact, the entire creation rests on penance, Bhavån∂.
Bearing this in mind, go and practise austerity.î Hearing these words the mother was filled
with wonder. She sent for Himålaya and communicated the vision to him. Consoling her
parents in many ways Umå set out for penance in a joyous mood. Her loving household
and parents felt miserable and none could speak a word. (1ó4)
