Maharishi Narada speaks “Oh! Bhrama, Oh! Shambhuvara, Oh! Mahaprajja, Bhagavan you have purified my life with the legends of the supreme Lord Shiva and Goddess ShivA. Oh! Prabho, kindly narrate how did Dhakshaprajapathi achieve Devi Paramba, Jagathjanani, Bhagavathi as his daughter? What was the boon received after extreme austerities and Tapasya?”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks “Oh! Narada, you are the fortunate one, you have achieved intense devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Shiva. I shall narrate the penance of Dhakshaprajapathi and how did he achieve that Jagathjanani as his daughter Sati. Dhakshaprajapathi undertook extreme Tapasya as per my advice, he reached on the northern shore of the milky ocean, and immersed in the veneration of Devi Paramba Bhagavathi and engaged in Tapasya. Daksha performed Tapasya for three thousand years, with utmost austerities and perfect control over sense. The entire years of Tapasya, he spent the days of austerities consuming leaves, water, fasting, and wind. Oh! Mune, in this way, he sincerely performed Tapasya for a long period of time. Devi Paramba Bhagavathi was highly pleased with the austerities and devotion of Dhaksha, she appeared before him, she was mounted on a lion, and has a dark color complexion, she has a stunning appearance, lovely face, four arms, two hands are in Abhaya and Varadha mudra posture, she was holding sword and lotus flower on the other two hands. Her beautiful eyes have the appearance of a red lotus flower, she has long and beautiful curly hair locks unkempt. Daksha reverentially prostrate before the Mother of the Universe and eulogized her.”

 

 

Daksha Prajapathi eulogizes Paramba Bhagavathi Jagathjanani “ Oh! Jagadamba/who is the mother of the universe and its living beings, Oh! Mahamaye who is the female force of trinities and illusion, Oh! Jagadheeshe who is the supreme Goddess of The universe, Oh! Maheshwari, kindly shower your auspicious grace on us. Oh! Bhagavathi I shall repeatedly prostrate before you. Oh! Shivaroopini, you are the provider of boons to your devotees, you are the protector of the devotees, Oh! Jaganmaye, I shall repeatedly prostrate before you.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks to Narada “Oh! Mune, Jagathjannani was highly pleased with the praises of Dhaksha and revealed her willingness to offer a boon.”

 

Dhakshaprajapthi eulogizes “Oh! Bhagavathi, Paramba, Jagathjanani, if you are pleased with my devotion kindly offer a boon after listening to my prayers. Lord Shiva is my beloved deity; the supreme Lord Rudra who is the essence of Lord Shiva was initiated from the middle of the eyebrows of Bhrama. Oh! Janani, you have not yet incarnated on the Earth to be with that supreme Lord Shiva. You are the inseparable consort of Lord Shiva kindly personifies on the Earth and get married to Lord Shiva for the welfare of the Universe and its living beings. Oh! Devi, you are the inseparable consort of Lord Shiva, kindly take birth as my daughter and once again achieve that supreme Lord Shiva as your wedded husband. You both have to perform various passionate sports for the welfare of this Universe; it is the wish of Lord Bhrama, Vishnu, and Lord Shiva as well. It was Lord Bhrama who inspired me to conduct Tapasya and gratify you.”

 

Devi Jagathjanani affectionately spoke “Oh! Thatha, Oh! Prajapati, Oh! Daksha, I am pleased with your devotion, I shall take birth as your daughter and fulfill your desires and the deities as well. I shall make all the efforts to achieve that supreme Lord Sadhashiva who is worshiped by Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, and deities, with my sincere devotion. I shall engage in extreme Tapsya to achieve that Lord Sadhashiva as my wedded husband, I am the inseparable part of supreme Lord Mahadeva, I have been that inseparable part of his life whenever he assumes various forms. Oh! Prajapati, return to your abode, I will be born as your daughter very soon. Oh! Prajapati, I shall perform the task you have requested to me, and keep one thing in your mind if I have to face any kinds of disrespect form you, I would discard the body that has assumed as the daughter of Prajapathi. ”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks to Narada “Oh! Mune, Thus, Maheshani disappeared from the sight of Daksha. He happily returned to his abode with the news of Jagathjanani, Paramba, Bhagavathi who have promised to be his daughter very soon.”
