Chapter Two · The Story of Devarāja · Verses 1–40

अथ द्वितीयोऽध्यायः

How a sinful brahmin named Devarāja — who did nothing but lie ill and overhear the Śiva Purāṇa — was carried to Śiva's own world. देवराज नामक एक पापी ब्राह्मण, जो केवल रोगग्रस्त पड़ा-पड़ा शिवपुराण सुनता रहा, शिवलोक को कैसे पहुँचा।
