रुद्रसंहिता — पार्वतीखण्ड
Chapter Seven · Pārvatī's Childhood · Verses 1–25

अथ सप्तमोऽध्यायः

Born amid great splendour that dims the very lamps of her birth-chamber, the infant goddess brings joy to Himācala's household and city alike. Himavān names her Kālī, and, after Menā forbids her from taking up austerity in infancy with the word "u mā" (don't), she comes to be called Umā, and, by her kin's tradition, Pārvatī. She grows through childhood play, dearer to her father than his many sons, and in time studies the sciences with a guru, the learning of her former birth returning to her effortlessly. पार्वतीका नामकरण तथा उनकी बाललीलाएँ एवं विद्याध्ययन
