The Birth of Kumāra 6.2

6.2

tayā vyāhṛtasandeśā sā babhau nibhṛtā priye |
cūtayaṣṭirivābhyāṣye madhau parabhṛtāmukhī ||

Now gentle Uma bade a damsel bear
To Siva, Soul of All, her maiden prayer:—
"Wait the high sanction of Himálaya's will,
And ask his daughter from the royal Hill,"
Then ere the God, her own dear Lord, replied.
In blushing loveliness she sought his side—
Thus the young Mango hails the approaching Spring
By its own tuneful bird's sweet welcoming.
