Parvati

Parvati artwork for Shin Megami Tensei II

Parvati (パールヴァティ, Pāruvati)^? is a demon in the series.

History

This beautiful goddess of love is the second consort of Shiva in the Hindu mythology. A mountain princess, she is the reincarnation of the goddess Sati (Shiva's first consort), and won Shiva's love in her previous life despite his asceticism, but immolated herself after her father's disapproval. Reborn as Parvati, daughter of the snow mountain god Himalayas, she sought Shiva out. Because the gods required Shiva's offspring to defeat their fierce adversaries, they sacrificed Kama in order to stoke Shiva's suppressed desire for female partner, the two reunited eventually and together gave birth to Kartikeya. They have the ability to merge into the half-male, half-female Ardha.

Profile

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

Parvati can only be obtained by evolving a Sati, in reference to her myth.

Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE

Parvati can be acquired through fusion or through the Ichigaya hacked chip run. She spawns alongside Shiva when he acts as a boss.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

"This beautiful goddess of love is one of Shiva's wives in Hindu lore.
She is always at Shiva's side and played a role in opening his third eye."

—Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Compendium

Shin Megami Tensei IV

"This beautiful goddess of love is one of Shiva's wives in Hindu lore. She is always at Shiva's side and played a role in opening his third eye."

—Shin Megami Tensei IV Compendium

Parvati is mentioned in the Challenge Quest Escape from Philanthropy, where she asks to seek her son Kartikeya and convince him to come back to her. Kartikeya explains that, despite Parvati's loving demeanor, he's scared of her due to her sheer alienness, citing he used to be six kids until she hugged them so hard they were merged together, and the time she accidentally cut off a man's head and replaced it with an elephant's. Ultimately, he does decide to go back to Parvati one last time.

Persona 3

"This beautiful goddess of love is one of Shiva`s wives in Hindu mythology. She won Shiva`s love, overcoming his asceticism."

—Persona 3 FES Compendium

Parvati and Shiva can cast the Fusion Spell Ardhanari, a reference to their fusion into the singular god.

Persona 4

Parvati and Shiva can be fused to create the persona Ardha.

Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2

"If you wish to speak to my husband, take this spear from me. Prove to me that you are worthy of his presence."

—Parvati, Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2

Parvatis can be fought in the final dungeon, primarily on the 6th Layer of the Sun.^{[citation needed]} They have a chance to drop a Pinaka which must be obtained in order to unlock the boss fight with Shiva.

Devil Survivor 2

"This beautiful goddess of love is one of Shiva's wives in Hindu lore. She is the reincarnation of Sati, Shiva's previous wife. She is always at his side and played a role in opening his third eye. Symbolizing beauty, her name means "she who lives in the mountains.""

Trivia

• Sati and Parvati share the pink irides and nails.
• Parvati in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and Devil Survivor 2 drains fire attacks but weak to ice, a reference to how Parvati is Sati reincarnated after throwing herself into flames. This is changed to the opposite in Persona 3 and Persona 4 to reflect her being the daughter of the snow god of Himalayas, the mountains of glaciers.
