तांडव स्तोत्र श्लोक १५
The folklores of love of Shri Mahadev for his wife Maa Sati
are famous since ancient times.
Shiva lived in a crematorium and used the ashes from pyres
to apply on his body. Sati was a princess with all abundances in life. She
barely knew any harsh realities of life. She fell in love with Lord Shiva and
did rigorous penance to please him and also to obtain permission from her
father for the wedding. Her father gave her hand to Mahadev against his wishes.
Textual Description:
The ancient texts describe the wedding as Paanigrahan of
Parvati by four armed Shiva. Shiva has Jata Mukut and holds a Parshu – the axe
and a Trishul – a trident. Bhagawan Vishnu along with his wives Bhudevi &
Lakshmi are also present and Brahma – creator of the world is the priest for
the wedding.
