Tulsidas on Parvati

← Back to Tulsidas Profile
β€œ... befriending good by the destruction of hell in the same way as Parvati befriended the gods by destroying the army of demons; like Lakshmi rising from the sea in the assembly of the saints”
Tulsidas
β€œOne day when Shiva had finished eating, he called to his wife Parvati to come and take her food too before it got cold. She pleaded that she had not finished repeating, according to her daily wont, the thousand names of Vishnu; whereupon her husband instructed her that it would suffice if she said the mere name of β€˜Rama’ once for that had as much virtue as all the thousand.”
