1. (# 2.b) Uma Devi.
The moment Mona Devi embraced the child, a miracle took place. Milk started flowing from her bosom to feed her dear child.
She took great care of the child who grew well and looked new every day. When she became five years old, she wanted to do tapas on Lord Siva.
Himavaan discouraged her since she was no more than a child. But Uma was adamant and said to him,
“Siva takes care of every one of us. He has planted this thought in my mind. He will surely protect me and my tapas. So please do not worry dear father!”
Himavaan made the necessary arrangements for her doing tapas. He gave her friends and servants to take care of her. He visited her every day to see the progress made by her.
