Embarrassed, chaste Parvati covered her face with her sari. 155.-156.Her face covered, with unblinking crooked eyes chaste Parvati gazed again and again at Lord Visnu’s very handsome, wonderfully dressed form. The hairs of her body erect,, she became plunged in an ocean of bliss. 157.For a moment she gazed at splendid Lord Siva, more handsome than ten million Kamadevas, grasping a trident and axe, and three eyes on each of his five faces. 158.In the next moment she gazed at dark Lord Visnu, wearing yellow garments,, decorated with a forest garland, with one face and four arms. 159.Gazing at the one Supreme Lord who appears in many forms, Goddess Parvati, the controller of material bewilderment, fell under the control of Lord Visnu’s spiritual power of bewilderment. She became filled with passionate desire. 160.She thought: The three demigods Brahma, Visnu, and Siva, are my partial incarnations. Still Visnu is best, for He is in the mode of goodness.
