Chapter –80  – Rudra Samhitha/Sati Khanda – 19

 

Lord Bhrama speaks “Oh! Mune, Dhakshaprajapathi, and Virani performed Kanyakadhanam of Devi Sati, and pleasingly offered an abundance of wealth as a gift to Hara and the several Brahmins. Lord Vishnu along with Goddess Mahalakshmi with folded hands spoke to Lord Hara “Oh! Devadeva, Oh! Mahadeva, Oh! Karunasagara, Oh! Prabho, you are the Lord of The universe, extremely compassionate to deities and living beings, Goddess Sati is Jagathjanani, Oh! Bhagavan, you have personified to destroy the wicked demons and shower auspicious grace on noble souls, it is the ultimate truth of your manifestation.  Oh! Bhagavan, Devi Sati who has the dark complexion is in an inseparable consort of you, like Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi is mine, and Lord Bhrama along with Goddess Saraswathi. Oh! Bhagavan, hereafter you and Goddess Sati, kindly resume the function of the expansion of creation and annihilation of the wicked demons, protect the deities and noble souls from the harassment of the demons, and shower your auspicious grace on the three worlds.”

 

Lord Bhrama speaks to Narada “Oh! Sutha, Lord Hara was highly pleased with the request of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Mahalakshmi, the all-pervasive Supreme Lord Shiva replied with a pleasing smile ‘Le it be’. Lord Vishnu along with his consort returned to his abode. I have performed detailed rites/Agnikarya after the marriage. Devi Sati and Lord Mahadeva circumambulated the sacrificial fire; I was nominated as the priest to perform all those Agnikarya. A grand music and dance program was organized after the marriage, to entertain the guests who have participated in it. Oh! Narada, the Maya of the Lord Mahadeva is so powerful, will not spare even the single creature in this Universe, it would make the life of the Jeeva miserable, I am going to explain to you about that unconquerable Maya of Lord Mahadeva that put me in embarrassment once again. While Devi circumambulating the Yagagni, I was besieged with the Maya of the Lord, got attracted to the beautiful appearance of Devi Sati who is Jagathjanani, eventually I have lost attention on the Yaga, tossed wet wood in the Yaga and poured ghee over it, soon a thick smoke covered the entire arena has blocked the vision. But my desire for Devi Sati did not stop, I lustfully looked at her attractive limbs, yearningly looked at her face, soon my Beeja fell on the Earth, I have put all effort to hide the semen from others, but the supreme Lord Shiva noticed it and in a fury spoke “Oh! Bhraman, you have committed a sinful deed while performing the Agnikarya. How could you put a mischievous eye on my wife? How did you commit such a grave sin while performing the marriage rites? I am the knower of all, how could you hide it from me? Oh! Vidhe, have you forgot my existence? I am all- pervasive, resides as a soul in living beings, like the sesame seed is inseparable from its oil.” Oh! Narada, the Lord Mahadeva pointed his powerful trident against me, the Sage Marichi and others got frightened and raised voice in fear, soon all the deities, Sages praised the supreme Lord Mahadeva who was in an extreme fury.”

 

Deities eulogize Lord Shiva “Oh! Devadeva, Oh! Mahadeva, Oh! Sharanagathavathsala, kindly protect Bhrama,  Oh! Maheshwara, kindly shower your grace upon him. Oh! Mahesha, you are the father of the Universe and Devi Sati is the mother of the Universe, Oh! Suraprabho, Lord Bhrama, and Vishnu are initiated from your limbs, to perform the function of creation and preservation respectively. Your Maya is unconquerable; you have a marvelous appearance and have performed various sports, Oh! Bhagavan, Jeeva who is secluded from you get besieged by your Maya.” All the deities and Sages assembled were frightened to watch the fury of Lord Mahadeva, it created huge chaos among the assembled in the marriage. Soon, Lord Vishnu, who is highly capable to calm down the Lord Mahadeva appeared before him and eulogized him.

 

Lord Vishnu eulogizes Lord Shiva “ Oh! Bhoothesha, Oh! Jagathprabhu, Oh! Sharanagathavathsala, kindly do not harm Lord Bhrama who is the creator of the Universe and its living beings, Oh! Bhagavan, you are too compassionate do not leave people who are surrendered at your lotus feet. Oh! Bhagavan, I am your sincere devotee, requests you do not hurt Lord Bhrama, kindly shower your grace on us. Oh! Bhagavan, the four-faced Bhraman is the creator of the Universe and its living beings, if anything happens to him would create an obstruction to the creation. Oh! Bhagavan we three have undertaken the function of creation, preservation, and destruction respectively, it should continue for the expansion and the welfare of the Universe. Oh! Bhagavan, be kind to Lord Bhrama who made all efforts to approach Devi Sati and Dhakshaprajapathi, and took initiative in the union of you and Devi Sati.”

 

Lord Mahesha speaks “Oh! Devadeva, Oh! Ramesha, Oh! Vishno, Oh! Bhakthapranavallabha, listen to me carefully, do not stop me destroying Bhrama. He has committed a grave sin; I am well capable to perform the creation of living beings in his absence, therefore do not stop me punishing Lord Bhrama.”

 

Acchyutha with a pleasing smile spoke “ Oh! Prabho, we are trinities, we are not different from each other, and we are one.”

 

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Vishno, Oh! Sarvabhakthesha, Bhrama cannot be my soul, he behaved completely different from me, and you are the Lord of Devotees.”

 

Lord Vishnu speaks “ Oh! Parameshwara, you and Bhrama are not different, in the same manner, you and me. Oh! Sarvajja, Oh! Parameshwara, Oh! Sadhashiva, you are the knower of all,  Oh! Rishis, and Sages, we three are not different from each other. Oh! Bhagavan, you are the creator of the Universe and its living beings, you are the preserver of them, and you are the destroyer of the Universe and its living beings at the end of Kalpa. You are supreme Bhramam,  we are trinities to perform the function creation, preservation, and destruction, Oh! Bhagavan, we both are initiated from the left and right limbs of you. Oh! Bhagavan, you are primordial,  you have supreme brilliance, you are invisible, you are supreme Bhramam resides as soul resides in living beings, you are eternal, you are supreme bliss, free from attributes.” Thus, Lord Vishnu appeased Lord Shiva.
