The viral Bundeli song "Jab Zid Pe Aa Gayi Parvati" from the film "Hanuman Ansh" tells the story of Goddess Parvati's unwavering resolve and her unwavering desire to have Lord Shiva as her husband. The mythological story behind this song is linked to the Balakanda of the Ramcharitmanas. After Goddess Sati's death, she was born as Parvati in the home of Parvatraj Himalaya and Mainavati. From childhood, Goddess Parvati was devoted to Lord Shiva. Narada had gone to the home of Parvatraj Himalaya and prophesied that Goddess Parvati was the reincarnation of Sati and that in this life too, she would attain Lord Shiva and her marriage to Mahadev was destined.

Mother Parvati started penance to get Lord Shiva.

After this, Goddess Parvati began rigorous penance to win Lord Shiva as her husband. Gradually, she gave up even food, fruit, and water. Her austerities were extremely difficult, and she made marrying Lord Shiva her life's goal. Her austerities shook even the heavens.

The Saptarishis approached Goddess Parvati.

Seeing Mother Parvati's penance, the Saptarishis approached her. It is said that Lord Shiva himself sent them to test her. He wanted to see how firm Parvati's resolve was. The Saptarishis approached Parvati and told her many things about Lord Shiva's appearance, attire, lifestyle, and lifestyle, hoping to change her mind. They said that Lord Shiva has a snake around his neck, the Ganges on his head, lacks a proper palace to live in, and applies ashes to his body. All these things are mentioned in the folk language in the Parvati Bhajan of 'Hanuman Ansh'. They were confident that Parvati would change her mind after thinking about Shiva's difficult and ascetic life.

Mother Parvati announced her decision.

After listening to the Saptarishis, Mother Parvati remained unmoved. She stated simply that she had accepted Lord Shiva as her husband and could not even consider marrying anyone other than him. She would accept Shiva as her husband, even if it required millions of years of penance or multiple rebirths. The Saptarishis then realized that Mother Gauri would not change her mind.

The marriage of Shiva and Parvati was solemnized

After this, Lord Shiva understood that Mother Parvati was as steadfast as he was and that they would make a good pair. Finally, Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva were married, and Mother Parvati's penance was complete.
