Sanskrit Original
सुनि मुनि गिरा सत्य जियँ जानी। दुख दंपतिहि उमा हरषानी।। नारदहुँ यह भेदु न जाना। दसा एक समुझब बिलगाना।। सकल सखीं गिरिजा गिरि मैना। पुलक सरीर भरे जल नैना।। होइ न मृषा देवरिषि भाषा। उमा सो बचनु हृदयँ धरि राखा।। उपजेउ सिव पद कमल सनेहू। मिलन कठिन मन भा संदेहू।। जानि कुअवसरु प्रीति दुराई। सखी उछँग बैठी पुनि जाई।। झूठि न होइ देवरिषि बानी। सोचहि दंपति सखीं सयानी।। उर धरि धीर कहइ गिरिराऊ। कहहु नाथ का करिअ उपाऊ।।

Hearing the words of the sage and believing them to be true, Himlaya and his wife became disconsolate; while Um felt delighted. Even Nrada could not perceive this difference. Even though their outer expression was the same, their feeling was different, Girij and all her playmates, Himlaya and his wife, Men, all had their hair standing on their end and their eyes were full of tears. The words of the celestial sage Nrada could not be untrue: Um cherished them in her heart. Love for the lotus feet of Siva sprouted in her heart. She however, felt diffident in her mind; union with Siva appeared so difficult to her. Finding the time inopportune for its disclosure, she concealed her emotion and then sat down in the lap of one of her playmates.The prediction of the sage could not be false: the thought made Himavn and his wife as well as the senior playmates anxious. Collecting himself, the lord of mountains said, Tell me, holy sir, what remedy should now be employed? (1-4)
