Know it. There need not be any hesitation in this matter. He alone, in the course of his divine sport, has incarnated himself (īṇa) in divine form. It was by the fascination of Pārvatī’s penance that He has come to your threshold. Hence, O wife of Himavat, eschew your sorrow. Worship Śiva. You will have great pleasure. All pain will be quelled�.
