Chapter 1 · The Opening Rite
पूजनविधिः
कुत्सिता रूपविभ्रष्टा मृतवत्सा नपुंसकाः ॥नारीणां पुरुषाणां च पूर्वकर्म च यत्प्रभो ॥ २७ ॥
Some are despised and have lost their looks. Some are mritavatsa (one whose children die young), or impotent. O Lord, what was the past deed of women and men like these?
Classical view, not medical advice.
तत्सर्वं वद मे स्वामिन् सर्वज्ञोऽसि मतो मम ॥
Tell me all that, O master. I hold you to be all-knowing. Hearing the Goddess's words, Maheshvara was pleased.
प्रहस्य जगतामीशो वल्लभां प्रीतिसंयुताम् ॥
The lord of the worlds smiled at his beloved, who was full of love. He spoke on the question, which is hidden and rare even in the three worlds.
॥ शिव उवाच ॥
Shiva said: Listen, O Girija, O Goddess, to the deeds of people in detail. I will tell what is in your mind. There is no doubt.
