"Why are you meditating, asked the Brahmin. What is it that you want?" "I wish to have Lord Shiva as my husband" replied Parvati.

"Why are you meditating, asked the Brahmin. What is it that you want?" 
"I wish to have Lord Shiva as my husband" replied Parvati.
"You are indeed stupid, said the Brahmin. "That is like giving up gold for the piece of glass or giving sandalwood for the mud. Does anyone give up water of Ganga and drink from well instead? Marry one of the devas instead. Go and marry Indira, Shiva is a stupid fellow. He has three eyes and five faces, hair matted and body smeared with ashes. He always Wears snakes as garland and ghosts accompany him. He has no cloths and no wealth. No one knows who his parents are and he lives in the Forests, his throat is blue with poison. You are making a big mistake, forget about Shiva and don't waste your life."
His words angered Parvati "you are stupid and it's you who don't know a thing about Shiva. He is The Lord of everything, enough Arguments however, let him be what you believe him to be, this unshakable heart knows no other feeling than love. Those whose goals are set don't care about criticism. You have insulted Lord Shiva and made a big mistake. Before you again say something about him I am going away, I shall not hear lord shiva insulted"
At that very moment Lord Shiva caught hold of Parvati. His heart melting with affection, said "O Graceful Parvati, where are you going, are you not praying for lord, you can't forsake now. The same lord won over by your penance not going to let you go, ask for a boon!!"
"Please marry me according to the prescribed Vedic rites" asked Parvati. Lord Shiva pleased. ‪Anklets of lord jingling with the sounds of Dam dama dam dama dam from his Damru. This is the wondrous play at the Kailas !!
