Chapter –77  – Rudra Samhitha/Sati Khanda – 16

 

Lord Bhrama speaks “ Oh! Narada, listening to the prayers of Lord Vishnu, myself, Devi Saraswathi and Goddess Mahalakshmi, deities and the Rishis and Sages, the supreme Lord Shiva got highly pleased.  The Supreme Lord who is the creator of Universe graciously enquired the reason for the visit with our consort to Mount Kailash.”

 

Lord Shiva speaks “Oh! Hari Oh! Vidhe, Oh! Deities, I am pleased with your devotion, kindly tell me the reason for your visit to Kailash.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks “ Oh! Narada, I am the Pitamaha, was inspired by Lord Vishnu and deities, hence I began to speak to that supreme Lord Shiva “ Oh! Devadeva, Oh! Mahadeva, Oh! Karunasagara, Oh! Prabho, Oh! Vrishadhvaja, I shall explain the reason for our visit to Mount Kailash. Oh! Bhagavan, we need your intervention at this moment, we are desirous of your help in the expansion of the Universe, without your involvement it would not function the way as we all wanted, therefore we have arrived with a specific purpose, Oh! Maheshwara, the demons received peculiar boons with their extreme austerities and penances needed to be killed by anyone of us, without your intervention in this matter, the progress of the Universe seems to be bleak. Oh! Mahaprabhu, you must be aware that some of the demons needed to be eradicated by your children as well, and importantly some of the demons needed to be vanquished by your female Shakthi as well. Oh! Bhagavan, the deities needed your auspicious grace upon them, to lead a comfortable life free form the atrocities of the demons. You are the only one who could protect the Universe and its living beings to live a life without fear. Oh! Bhagavan, you have been too remote, embraced asceticism, and free from worldly matters so long, you are the ocean of mercy; therefore the life on the Earth constantly undergoes the atrocities of the demons. Oh! Vrishadhwaja, how it would be possible to keep the lives from the trouble of demons, unless and until you annihilate them? Therefore you should intervene in this matter and help us the expansion of creations. Oh! Bhagavan, if the function of creation, preservation, and destruction does not take place simultaneously, it would hugely affect the entire creation, and then the purpose of Maya and our origin would become meaningless. We three are the essence of that supreme Bhramam, we have no difference between us, even though we have to undertake the function of creation, preservation, and destruction as trinities. Therefore we three needs to co-ordinate and work together to achieve the fruitful results of the creation. Oh! Maheshwara, you are supreme Lord took the form of trinities with your powerful Maya, we both have initiated from the left and right limbs of you. Oh! Sanathana, you are the emerged out the heart of that supreme Bhramam, in a way we/Lord Vishnu and me/ both are your sons, Oh! Bhagavan, we have already begun the function of creation and preservation as assigned by you, we are performing our tasks with our consorts. Oh! Bhagavan, we sincerely request you to get involved in the expansion of the Universe, for the welfare of deities and living beings and kindly accept an appropriate bride as your wedded wife. Oh! Maheshana, I remember an incident that was taken place long ago which was narrated by you, before assuming the form of Shiva, kindly listen to it ‘Oh! Bhrama, the excellent form of mine would initiate from the middle of your eyebrows would be famously known as ‘Rudra’, you would perform the tasks of creation, and Lord Hari would perform the preservation, and I would perform the task of destruction as Rudra. I would begin the task after achieving my female Shakthi as a companion.” Oh! Bhagavan, I was trying to take you back to your promise to us, we both have been started our function, kindly take in charge of your duties as Rudra. It is impossible to carry out the expansion of the Universe without your intervention. Hence, kindly accept a young and beautiful woman as your wedded wife and engage in the task of destruction. Lord Vishnu has Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi as his consort; I have Goddess Saraswathi and Savithri as my consort. Oh! Bhagavan, kindly gets yourself prepared to marry a damsel and begin the task of destruction.”

 

Lord Eshwara speaks “ Oh! Bhraman, Oh! Hari, you both are dear to me, I am extremely pleased to meet you both. You both are excellent among the deities and the Lord of three worlds. Oh! Surashreshta, you both are engaged in the creation and preservation of The universe, hence it is my duty to inform you both that I am not destined to be a Grihastha, because I would be engaged in constant austerities and penances, I am a Yogi,  I have abandoned the material world, listen to me carefully, I am a forest dweller, renounced the material matters, remains secluded, and move freely at my will, I have the dreadful appearance, I destined to be like this, therefore no girl would be happy to marry me, and I have nothing to achieve in her company as well. I am a delightful Yogi, I am free from desires and attachments, therefore marriage would become meaningless to me, and I have no interest in pursuing a married life. I always respect the command and pleas of my devotees, after listening to your pleas, for the welfare of deities and living beings, and I am prepared to follow your command, there is no personal motive in it. Oh! Lord Vishnu, Oh! Bhrama, I have to put forward a few conditions before that, I can marry the girl who has a great interest in Yogic practices and lovely features, and she should be well capable to receive my powerful Beeja. She should be highly skilled in Yogic practices as well as amorous sport.  While I contemplate upon that supreme Bhramam eulogized by Veda as imperishable one, colossal flame, no one should create an obstruction to it, Oh! Bhrama, I shall follow your command; find an appropriate bride of my choice to carry out the function of the Universe.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks “Oh! Maheshana, Oh! Natha, Oh! Bhagavan, we have arrived to talk about that appropriate woman, well suited to your conditions, born as Devi Uma, who is Jagadamba, Paramaba, Bhagavathi, Jagathjanani, has personified as the daughter of Dhakshaprajapathi. Oh! Bhagavan, the Jagathjanani has assumed the form of Goddess Mahalakshmi and wedded to Lord Vishnu, and Devi Saraswathi married to me. That supreme Goddess Paramba, Bhagavathi, Jagathjanani has taken birth as the daughter of Dhakshaprajapathi and undertaking extreme austerities and penance.  Devi Sati is virtuous and has possessed all those loveliness, you both would make a perfect couple, she would be a devoted wife to you. Oh! Devesha, Devi Sati is performing extreme penance to achieve you as a wedded husband, hence Oh! Maheshwara, kindly proceed to her and bestow your auspicious grace on her and achieve her as a wedded wife. Oh! Bhagavan, kindly showers mercy on us, let us have the opportunity to witness that grand celestial wedding, it would be a one of a kind of auspicious occasion which would remove all the miseries, sorrows, and grief of the living beings, and bestow an abundance of auspiciousness in the three worlds.”

 

Lord Hari the slayer of demon Madhu spoke “ Oh! Devadeva, Oh! Mahadeva, Oh! Karunakara, Oh! Shankara, all that you have heard from Lord Bhrama was the opinion of mine too. Oh! Maheshana, kindly shower your compassionate grace on us, kindly get married to Devi Sati and shower your auspicious grace on the three worlds.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks to Narada “Oh! Vathsa, in this way, me and Lord Vishnu appealed to that supreme Lord Mahadeva to accept Devi Uma who is the daughter of Dhakshaprajapathi, as wedded wife and shower compassionate grace on the three worlds. The Supreme Lord Shiva replied with a gracious smile “let it be’, afterward, we all have returned to our respective abodes.”
