To test his beloved Sathi, who was in deep meditation, Lord Siva appeared before her as an elderly Brahmin and spoke thus.
O the jewel among women, O good-natured
don’t consider me a stranger and tell me what you want
Do not punish your tender, beautiful body
what desire drives you to such travails?
