    Need help relocating an excerpt narrative translated from Sanskrit, probably originally poetry, about a procession of Lord Shiva’s (lost bookmarks when computer died). Much of it is describing the gloriousness of Lord Shiva. The most interesting part is a progressive description of the reactions of women to seeing Lord Shiva, starting with a little girl. They are all instantly ‘in love’; the little girl asks the women of the household if they can ask Lord Shiva to come play; a new (board game?) she has, talk with her parrot, pretend to have a meal as she has learned how to make pretend food (with her dolls?). The mature woman goes where she can see Lord Shiva up close (in a courtyard?) and smiles at him. The girls and women in between are overwhelmed, confused and don’t know what to do. Many of the nouns in the version I encountered were transliterated, which required an enormous amount of tracking down the translations. This was important – descriptions of *where* things happened and the ‘label’ for each stage of womanhood in particular.

    Anyone recognize this? Or have suggestion for how to find it?

    I’m unable to figure out the stotra/ poem you are referring to in the above post. This link here has a great collection of all the Shiva stotrams and sanskrit articles. I am hoping you will find the document among this.
