After Sati's sacrifice, Shiva withdrew into deep meditation, renouncing the world in grief.
But destiny had other plans - Sati was reborn as Parvati, determined to win Shiva's heart once more.
Though he remained detached, Parvati patiently persevered - performing penance, mastering scriptures, and showing unmatched strength of will.
He finally said:
"Not only are you the most beautiful… but the wisest. The one who waited, learned, and never gave up."
Parvati smiled and replied:
"And you're the only one I’d wait lifetimes for."
