Those who trust Him escape from sins. Shiva’s assumed his true form and held Parvati’s hand. She bowed her head. Shiva told her, “O thou bowed beauty I am pleased with your penance and your love. You have won over my mind. I have caused you much pain in testing you in many ways. You must pardon that. Now come, let’s go to my palace on Kailasa.”

Whenever Rati wants him Manmatha will come to her even without a body Manmatha gave up his life so that the world could be happy.
