Chapter – 62 – Rudra Samhitha/Sati Kanda – 11

Maharishi Narada speaks “Oh! Mahaprajja, Oh! Thatha, Oh! Bhrama, you have described the initiation of Rudra, and the companionship of Lord Shiva with Lord Kubera and Lord Shiva settled in the Mount Kailash with the Ganas. Oh! Thatha, kindly narrates various amusements of Lord Shiva with Goddess Sati.”

Lord Bhrama speaks “ Oh! Vathsa, I have conducted the worship of Goddess Durga who symbolizes Vidya and Avidya,  Parambhramaswaroopini, inseparable from Lord Shiva, she is unblemished, she is Jagadhathri who is the protector of the Universe and its living beings. She is most promising, symbolizes auspiciousness, Sthoola/visible and Sookshma/invisible, subtle form as well. She is pure, she is all-pervasive, she is eternal, she does not require any support system, and she is the mother of Thrived. I have worshiped that supreme Goddess, who symbolizes intellect, “Oh! Devadeveshi, who symbolizes supreme wisdom, resides as a soul in living beings, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Jagadhathri, you are incomparable, kindly shower your compassionate grace, and provide success in my endeavors.” Oh! Munisaththama, immediately the supreme Goddess Chandika appeared before me, she had the dark complexion, attractive limbs,  four arms, seated on the lion, two hands were in Varada and Abhayahastha posture, she was adorned in pearl ornaments, and disheveled hair. Her face has the luster of the autumn moon, she had three eyes, she has mesmerizing form, and her nails on the lotus-like red feet were sparkling, Oh! Munishwara, I have eulogized that marvelous form of Goddess Chandika before me.”

Lord Bhrama eulogizes “Oh! Sarvavimohini!  Oh! Devi, you symbolize Pravriththi as well as Nivriththi Marga of the Jeeva, Oh! Devi, You are the creator and protector of the Universe and its living beings, you are the source of energy of the living and non-living things, you have mesmerizing beauty, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Devi, you have personified as Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi and wedded the supreme Lord Mahavishnu, and you are the protector of the Universe and its living beings. You have personified as Maheshi, who possesses Trigunas, and causes deluge at the end of Yuga. Oh! Devi, you have personified as Yogini who is worshiped by the Yogis, you are omnipresent, you are perceivable to Yogis who have abandoned the interest in material matters and bondages,  Oh! Devi, you are the purifier of souls and enhance the virtues and devotion in them. Oh! Devi, you have supreme radiance, you are pure, and you are free from trepidations, Oh! Devi, you symbolize Kootastha/resides as the soul which is eternal, you are invisible/Avyaktha due to the ignorance, you are Anantha/eternal and you have endless incarnations. Oh! Shive, you are beyond Trigunas, you are the source of Trigunas, Oh! Devi, you reside in the heart of Lord Bhrama and performs the task of creation, you reside in the heart of Vishnu and performs the task of preservation and you reside in the heart of Shiva and performs the task of destruction at the end of Yuga. Oh! Devi, you are the Mahathbeeja/source of creation of the Universe and its living beings. You symbolize supreme knowledge, you are benevolent, oh! Shivapathni, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks to Narada “Oh! Vathsa, I have eulogized the supreme Goddess Jagathdhathri with beautiful verses, and repeatedly prostrated before her, soon Goddess Kali was highly pleased with my devotion, spoke to me affectionately “Oh! Bhrama, I am pleased with your devotion, I shall perform the function of creation as you have desired.” I spoke to Goddess Mahadevi “Oh! Devi, Oh! Maheshani, you are omniscient, whatever I have eulogized was destined by you. Oh! Deveshi, your consort Lord Shiva was born from the middle of my eyebrows as Rudra, he is performing extreme austerities and Tapasya in the Mount Kailash with the Bhoothaganas. He is all alone without a companion, he is pure and unique, and he is Bhoothesha, an extreme Vairagin. Oh! Devi kindly entices him with your loveliness, no one can perform that task other than you. Oh! Shive kindly personifies as the daughter of Dhakshaprajapathi, and get married to that supreme Lord Shiva. Oh! Shive, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Devi, you have assumed the form of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi and became the consort of Lord Mahavishnu, kindly please Lord Shiva for the welfare of the Universe and its living beings. Oh! Devi, he is a renounced soul, do not know how he would accept you as his consort, he is the cause of Universe and its living beings, If he remains detached to the material world, there would not be any auspiciousness at all. I am extremely worried about the welfare of the Universe. Oh! Devi, kindly personifies as the daughter of Daksha and gets married to that supreme Lord Shiva who is the creator and destroyer of the Universe and its living beings. Oh! Maheshwari, Oh! Devi, Dhakshaprajapathi is undertaking extreme penance on the northern shore of the milky ocean, in order to achieve you as his daughter.” Devi Bhagavathi, Paramba, Jagathjanani was highly pleased, spoke “Oh! Bhrama, you are the essence of creation, you are the eulogizer of Veda, and how did you become overpowered by the Maya of that Lord? He is supreme Lord Mahadeva, free from impurities, he is incomprehensible, and he is the destroyer of Moha, I shall remain Sarvadhadhasi/sincere maidservant of that Lord. He is independent; he is the remover of sins of the Jeeva.  He is supreme Lord Parameshwara and Rudra as well. He represents Lord of Bhrama and Lord Vishnu, he is a flawless Yogi, and he is the Lord of Maya. Oh! Bhrama, it was your ignorance, you have considered him as your son, who was initiated from the middle of your eyebrows. Oh! Bhrama, you have uttered the truth, no one can entice him. You have spoken the truth, if Lord Shiva remains Vairagin, the creation will not progress. Therefore, I should transform that great Yogi into a householder at the earliest. I should serve that supreme Lord Maheshwara like Goddess Lakshmi who is the consort of Lord Vishnu. I shall take birth as Sati, the daughter of Dhakshaprajapathi, and perform various amusements with that Lord and shall remain as the wedded wife of that Lord Mahadeva. ” Thus Goddess Durga disappeared from my sight. I have returned with my mind-born sons to the abode of Sathyaloka and narrated all those incidents to them.”
