"And if Gowri, her hand held by Shiva who had tossed aside his bracelet of snakes should go for a walk on these mountains you should, stopping your waters from flowing, form for her a flight of steps and go before her as she climbs its jeweled slopes."

The love between Gowri and Shiva is subtly hinted at here. Kalidasa refers to Gowri as "Bhiru" here, meaning one who would get scared. Gowri would get scared to hold the hands of Shiva if he wears his customary bracelet of snakes. Realis-ing this, Shiva would cast it aside as he takes her hand if she should wish to go for stroll on the mountains of Kailasa.

From meghadutam.
