KANDA PURAANAM - DAKSHA KAANDAM
6#7b. The disguise.
Years rolled by and now Daakshaayani was twelve years old. Siva thought that the time was ripe to bless her and marry her. He assumed the form of a Brahmachari, reached Dakshapuri and went her.
He was welcomed by the friends of Daskshaayani. She came and asked him,”What has made you come here?” He replied, “I have come here to marry you. Please do not refuse to marry me.”
She covered her ears with her palms and exhaled deeply. She said,” I am doing penance in order to marry Siva. I can’t marry any other man.”
“Siva is mad and no one can predict his actions. Do you think he will care enough to yield to your penance and marry you?” The young brahmachaari made fun of her.
“I will marry Siva. If he does not come to me, I will rather give up my life than marry anyone else!”Dakshaayani was firm in her reply as well her decision to marry Siva.
