Info on a verse

[Raghavendra Hebbalalu]

The verse is from Kalidasa's Raghuvamsha Mahakavya(I think so).But it is
surely from Kalidasa and not from the Vedas. It is
   Vaagarthaaviva sampruktau vaagartha pratipattaye|
   jagatah pitarau vande paarvateeparameshwarau ||

This is a very beautiful shloka. This means that Goddess Parvati and Lord
Shiva are inseparable like the word and its meaning. Kalidasa propitiates
the Parents of the entire Universe. There is another meaning to this.
paarvateeparameshwarau can also be split as parvateepa and rameshwarau
meaning Lords Shiva and Vishnu respectively. If other list members can
add on, kindly do so.
Thank you,
Raghavendra.
