parvati\u2019s vow of cHanting<\/p>\n

From Padma Pura\u0304na\u0304<\/p>\n

In the sixth canto, chapter 254, of the Padma Pura\u0304n\u0323a, Bhagavan Vyasa recounts how Parvati once appealed to the great sage Vamadev to initiate her into the worship of Lord Vishnu. Thus requested by the goddess, Vamadev gave her the Vis\u0323n\u0323u-sahasra-na\u0304ma-stotram. Parvati then began to daily worship Vishnu in the morning by chanting the Vis\u0323n\u0323u-sahasra-na\u0304ma. A few days later, Parvati offered her obeisances to the sage and returned to her abode. There, on a charming peak of Mount Kailasa, Shankar Mahadeva was seated after having worshiped Lord Vishnu on the dva\u0304das\u0301i\u0304 day. Seeing that his wife had returned, he told her, \u201cO goddess worshiped by all of the three worlds, come and eat with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parvati replied, \u201cO my lord, you may go ahead. I shall take my meal only after I have completed my chanting of the thousand names of Vishnu.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smiling, Lord Shiva said, \u201cO Parvati, you are fortunate and blessed. You are Vishnu\u2019s devotee. O goddess! Without good fortune it is very difficult to obtain devotion to Vishnu.<\/p>\n

ra\u0304ma ra\u0304meti ra\u0304meti rame ra\u0304me manorame sahasra-na\u0304ma tat-tulyam\u0307 ra\u0304ma-na\u0304ma vara\u0304nane<\/p>\n

\u201cI am reciting, \u2018Rama\u2019, \u2018Rama\u2019, \u2018Rama\u2019. I delight in the name of Rama, which attracts my mind. O woman with a lovely face, Rama\u2019s name is equal to the thousand names of Vishnu. (20)<\/p>\n

ra\u0304-ka\u0304ra\u0304dini na\u0304ma\u0304ni s\u0301r\u0323n\u0323vato mama pa\u0304rvati\u0304

\u201cO Parvati, whenever I hear a name that begins with the syllable \u2018ra\u0304\u2019 my mind becomes pleased, expecting it be be the name of Lord Rama. O goddess, chant the name of Rama and come and eat with me.\u201d Parvati uttered the holy name of Lord Rama and then took her meal with Shankar.\u201d (21)<\/p>\n
