\section{The manifestation of Uma}
The sages said :-
1.  O Suta, the most excellent among the omniscients, please
    mention the incarnation of Uma, the goddess of all the worlds
    and the mother of Sarasvati.
2.  She is sung as the primordial Prakrti of the supreme
    Brahman. She is both possessed and devoid of forms.  She is
    of the form of eternal bliss. She is Sati.
Suta said :-
3.  O sages, listen lovingly to the great story, the perfect
    knowledge of which alone helps man to attain the great goal.
4.  Once there was a clash between the gods and the
    Asuras. Thanks to the power of the goddess the gods became
    victorious.
5.  Then the gods were proud and haughty. They boasted- ``We
    are blessed. What can the Asuras do to us
6.  Of our unbearable prowess, the Asuras are afraid.  They have
    gone to Patala saying, ``Run, run''.
7.  Then all of them proclaimed thus: ``Wonderful is the
    strength, splendour, and good luck of the gods that has reduced
    the race of the Daityas.
8.  Then a mass of splendour appeared, at the unprecedented
    sight of which the gods were surpiiscd.
9.  Ignorant of the real glory and the intention of the goddess
    to quell their arrogance, the Asuras said with choking throats
    ``What is this ? What is this ?''
10. Then the lord Indra ordered the gods - ``Go ye all and
    examine it and ascertain what it is.''
11. Urged by Indra, the wind-god approached splendour and
    addressed it, ``Who are you ?'' The splendour too put the
    same question to him.
12. Thus asked by the big mass of splendour the wind-god replied
    arrogantly. - ``I am Vayu the vital breath of the universe.''
13. Everything in the universe, mobile or immobile, is woven
    like warp and woof into me. I am the support of everything. I
    move the entire universe.''
14. Then the great splendour said:- ``If you are competent
    to move, O wind-god, please move this blade of grass I have
    set before you. Move it as you please.''
15. Then wind-god put forth all his efforts. But the blade of
    grass did not stir from its position. Then he was put to shame.
16. The wind-god went silently to the assembly of Indi a.
    There he narrated the details of his discomfiture.
17. ``False is our pride that we are the lords. In fact we
    are helpless, insignificant creatures.''
18. Then Indra sent all the gods. When they could not realise
    anything Indra himself went there.
19. On seeing Indra come, the unbearable splendour vanished
    immediately. Indra was surprised.
20. Then Indra thought to himself again and again - ``I seek
    refuge in him alone whose conduct is such as this.''
21-22. In the meantime, in order to bless them and remove
    their arrogance, Siva, the embodied form of unde ceitful
    mercy, existence, knowledge and bliss, manifested herself on
    the ninth day of the bright half of the month Chaitra when
    the sun was in the middle of the day.
23. Shining among the mass of splendour she brightened the
    quarters with her brilliance. She enlightened the gods,
    saying ``I alone am Brahman.''
24. In her four hands she held boons, noose, goad and the
    mystic gesture of protection. She was served by the Vedas and
    looked beautiful and proud of her blooming youth.
25. She wore red garments and red garlands. Red sandal paste
    was smeared over her body. She was as dazzling as a crore of
    cupids. Her lustre was that of a crore moons.
26. The great Maya, in the form of the immanent soul of all,
    the cosmic witness of all living beings, and the great
    Brahman, spoke.
Uma said:-
27. Neither Brahma nor Visnu nor Siva the slayer of
    the Tripura demon can bluff* before me. What about the
    other gods ?
28. The great Brahman, the great light in the form of the two
    Pranavas, I alone am. I am all. There is none other beside me.
29. Though devoid of form I possess forms. I constitute all
    principles. I am eternal and my attributes cannot be disputed. I
    am both the cause and the effect.
30. Sometimes I have the form of a woman, sometimes of a
    man. Sometimes both. I am goddess assuming all forms.
31. I am the creator, the protector and the destroyer of the
    world. I am the enchantress of the universe.
32. All the Saktis - Kali, Lak§mi and Sarasvati as well as
    others are born of my parts. So also the arts originate from me.
38. Due to my power alone the demons are conquered by
    you. Without knowing me of this nature you bluff as the lords
    of all.
34. Just as a magician makes the wooden doll of a woman dance
    so also I the goddess make all living beings dance.
35. Being afraid of me the wind blows, the fire- god burns
    and the guardians of the quarters carry on their duties.
36. Independent that I am, I sportively bestow victory on the
    gods sometimes and on the Daityas sometimes.
37. It is my form that is described in the Vedas as
    indestructible, the great abode, the one beyond Maya and that
    which is greater than the greatest.
38. My form is two-fold - Saguna and Nirguna. One is mixed
    with Maya and the other is free from it.
39. O gods, endowed with devotion, realise this and eschew
    your arrogance, worship me, the eternal Prakrti.
40. On hearing the merciful words of the goddess, the gods
    eulogised her, with their shoulders drooping with devotion.
41. O goddess of the universe, forgive us. O goddess, be
    pleased. O mother, let us not be arrogant again.  Please be
    merciful.
42. Since then the gods began to propitiate her as before.
    They eschewed their arrogance and became pure in mind.
43. O Brahmins, thus I have narrated to you the menifestation
    of Uma. By only hearing this men attain the great region.

The end of the manifestation of Uma.
