Sanskrit Original
सुरसरि जल कृत बारुनि जाना। कबहुँ न संत करहिं तेहि पाना।। सुरसरि मिलें सो पावन जैसें। ईस अनीसहि अंतरु तैसें।। संभु सहज समरथ भगवाना। एहि बिबाहँ सब बिधि कल्याना।। दुराराध्य पै अहहिं महेसू। आसुतोष पुनि किएँ कलेसू।। जौं तपु करै कुमारि तुम्हारी। भाविउ मेटि सकहिं त्रिपुरारी।। जद्यपि बर अनेक जग माहीं। एहि कहँ सिव तजि दूसर नाहीं।। बर दायक प्रनतारति भंजन। कृपासिंधु सेवक मन रंजन।। इच्छित फल बिनु सिव अवराधे। लहिअ न कोटि जोग जप साधें।।

Holy men would never drink wine even if they came to know that it had been made of water from the Ganga; but the same wine becomes pure when it is poured into the Ganga. The difference between an individual soul and God should be similarly explained. Sambhu is all-powerful by nature; for He is no other than God Himself. Hence matrimony with Him will prove auspicious in everyway. The great Lord Siva is certainly difficult to propitiate; but He is quickly pleased when penance is undergone. If your daughter practises austerity, the Slayer of the demon Tripura, Siva, can even erase the lines of Fate. Even though there may be many a suitor in the world, there is no match for her except Siva. He is the bestower of boons, the dispeller of the agony of the suppliant, an ocean of benevolence and the delight of His devotee. Without propitiating Siva the object of ones desire cannot be attained through millions of Yogic practices and Japa (repetitions of a mystic formula). (1-4)
