Pârvatî

Pârvâti is a Hindu goddess . She is the girl of wise the Nârada which wishes to see it marrying the god Shiva. It thus sends it to its meeting, but Shiva, absorptive in its meditation, does not pay any attention to him. However, Brahma informs the gods that only the son whom Pârvâti will give to Shiva will be able to allow them to find the sky from where they were driven out by the demon Târaka.

The gods send then Kâma, god of the desire, to plant his arrow of love on Shiva. It is wounded by its arrow but, furious, burns Kâma of its third eye and turns over to its meditation.

Pârvâti then decides to practice the asceticism to conquer the heart of Shiva. One day, passes in front of it a Brahmane which makes fun of its wish to marry Shiva and Shiva in person. She retorts that she loves the god and stops the ears. At the same moment, the Brahman regains his true shape, that of Shiva, and says to him that it is touched by his devotion. They marry then. Pârvâti only conceives then Ganesh and Shiva recognizes it for wire.

The gold complexion of Pârvâti

Pârvâti with the black skin, which is worth the mocking remarks of Shiva to him. At the time of an argument on this subject, furious, it decides, since its body is not with the taste of Shiva, to give up it with the meditation and from goes away with his/her Ganesh son. It gives nevertheless the order to Nandi to keep the residence so that no woman approaches Shiva.

During this time, the demon Adi goes to Shiva to avenge his/her father, wounded by the god. It changes into snake to enter the residence then is transformed into woman with the gilded skin. Shiva takes the woman for Pârvâti, thinking that its meditation was worth this gold skin to him. But it does not find on the side of Pârvâti the lotus which it carries. It understands that it is about Adi and rejects it.

During this time Kusamamodini uses the breeze of the mountain to inform Pârvâti that Shiva was allured by a woman with the gold skin, which makes it insane of rage. Brahma appears to him then and asks him to make a wish in reward of its mortifications. She thus asks a skin gilded Brahma.
