अनन्यभावैकगतिं शक्तिः सुप्तेव पूरुषम् ॥५९॥
tam eva dayitaṠbhūya
Ävṛṅkte patim ambikÄ
ananya-bhÄvaika-gatiá¹
śaktiḥ supteva pūruṣam
tam - him (Lord Åšiva); eva - certainly; dayitam - beloved; bhÅ«yaḥ - again; Ävṛṅkte - accepted; patim - as her husband; ambikÄ - AmbikÄ, or SatÄ«; ananya-bhÄvÄ - without attachment for others; eka-gatim - the one goal; Å›aktiḥ - the feminine (marginal and external) energies; suptÄ - lying dormant; iva - as; pÅ«ruá¹£am - the masculine (Lord Åšiva, as representative of the Supreme Lord).
AmbikÄ [goddess DurgÄ], who was known as DÄká¹£Äyiṇī [SatÄ«], again accepted Lord Åšiva as her husband, just as different energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead act during the course of a new creation.
According to a verse of the Vedic mantras, parÄsya Å›aktir vividhaiva Å›rÅ«yate: the Supreme Personality of Godhead has different varieties of energies. Åšakti is feminine, and the Lord is puruá¹£a, masculine. It is the duty of the female to serve under the supreme puruá¹£a. As stated in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ, all living entities are marginal energies of the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is the duty of all living entities to serve this Supreme Person. DurgÄ is the representation in the material world of both the marginal and external energies, and Lord Åšiva is the representation of the Supreme Person. The connection of Lord Åšiva and AmbikÄ, or DurgÄ, is eternal. SatÄ« could not accept any husband but Lord Åšiva. How Lord Åšiva remarried DurgÄ as HimavatÄ«, the daughter of the HimÄlayas, and how KÄrttikeya was born, is a great story in itself.
