Chapter 54·The Dharma of the Devoted Wife·Verses 1–83
अथ चतुःपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः
Brahmā continues his narration to Nārada: the Seven Sages told Himavān, the lord of the mountains, to arrange without delay the fitting departure of his own daughter Pārvatī to her husband's abode. Hearing this, Himavān, realizing the sorrow of separation to come, was for a time overcome with grief out of great love, but soon regained his composure and, saying "so be it," sent word to his wife Menā. Menā, torn between joy and sorrow, set about the customary rites of her own lineage, and manifold festivity arose; she adorned Girijā with excellent jewels, garments, and the twelve traditional ornaments befitting royalty. Perceiving what was in Menā's mind, a certain virtuous brāhmaṇa's wife came forward and instructed Girijā in the supreme vow of pativratā-dharma, the discipline of a wife wholly devoted to her husband. Addressing Pārvatī with great affection, she declared that the pativratā woman is blessed beyond all others, a purifier of all worlds and destroyer of sin, who through loving service to her husband as to the Supreme Lord enjoys every happiness here and attains the auspicious state hereafter together with him; she named the great pativratās of old — Sāvitrī, Lopāmudrā, Arundhatī, Śāṇḍilyā, Śatarūpā, Anasūyā, Lakṣmī, Svadhā, Satī, Saṃjñā, Sumati, Śraddhā, Menā, Svāhā, and many others unnamed for brevity — who by this dharma alone became worshipped even by Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Hara. She taught Pārvatī, since her own husband is Śaṅkara himself, that she must always serve him with reverence, since he is the benefactor of the humble and refuge of the virtuous, and expounded at length the practical discipline of the devoted wife: to eat and sleep only after her husband, to remain modestly adorned only for him, never to utter his personal name, to bear harsh words and even blows without returning them, to attend him promptly when called, never to linger at others' doors or share her family's goods without leave, never to undertake a pilgrimage or a vow without his sanction, to accept his leftover food as a great blessing, to share what she eats with gods, ancestors, guests, servants, cattle, and mendicants before herself, to remain orderly, skilful, cheerful, and free of extravagance, never to disturb him at rest, never to slight him whatever his condition — poor, sick, aged, happy, or sorrowful — to observe due seclusion and silence during her monthly courses, to look upon no man's face before her bathed husband's, to keep the marks and ornaments of marriage always upon her, to shun the company of washerwomen, courtesans, heterodox ascetics, ill-fated women, and any woman hostile to her own husband, never to remain alone, bathe unclothed, or sit upon inauspicious household objects such as the mortar, pestle, or threshold, to show no boldness except in the proper season of intimacy, to share his moods of joy and sorrow, to remain unchanged in prosperity and adversity, never to complain to him of household want, to hold him dearer than even Brahmā, Viṣṇu, or Hara, and never to answer him back in anger, take a higher seat than his, slander others, quarrel, or speak loudly or laugh before elders — but rather to welcome him home with food, water, betel, fresh garments, foot-massage, and sweet words, since a father, brother, or son gives only a measured portion, while the husband alone is the giver without measure, being at once her deity, guru, dharma, pilgrimage, and vow. She warned of the retributions that befall a wife who forsakes these duties — becoming an owl, a wildcat, a squint-eyed woman, a sow, a mute, or a filth-eating jackal in future births, and dragging down three generations each of her father's, mother's, and husband's lineages — while the true pativratā purifies with her very footstep the ground she walks on, and is sought out even by the sun, moon, wind, and waters for their own purification, and is to be worshipped, together with her husband, as the visible embodiment of Umā and Śiva, for the husband is the mantra of liberation and the wife the Veda itself, blessed together as husband and wife. The brāhmaṇa's wife further explained the fourfold classification of pativratās — the best, whose mind clings to her own husband alone even in dreams; the middling, who regards other men with the innocence due a father, brother, or son; the inferior, who abstains from wrongdoing only through intellectual knowledge of duty; and the lowest, who abstains only from fear of her husband and family's disgrace — all four nonetheless being destroyers of sin and objects of joy in this world and the next; she cited the story of how, by the power of the chastity of Atri's wife and the entreaty of the three gods, a certain brāhmaṇa slain by a boar's curse was restored to life. Concluding, she reminded Pārvatī that since she herself is the World-Mother and Śiva is her very husband, women become devoted wives simply by remembering her, so that this teaching, however superfluous before the goddess herself, was offered only in keeping with the custom of the world. Having spoken thus, the brāhmaṇa's wife bowed to Pārvatī and fell silent, and Pārvatī, the beloved of Śaṅkara, was filled with great joy.ब्रह्माजी नारदजीको आगेकी कथा सुनाते हुए बताते हैं कि सप्तर्षियोंने हिमालयसे कहा कि वे शीघ्र ही अपनी पुत्री पार्वतीकी उसके पतिके घर जानेकी उचित विदाई-यात्राका प्रबन्ध करें। यह सुनकर हिमालय आगामी वियोगको सोचकर कुछ कालतक अत्यन्त प्रेमवश शोकाकुल हो गये, परन्तु शीघ्र ही सचेत होकर 'तथास्तु' कहते हुए अपनी पत्नी मेनाको सन्देश भेजा। हर्ष और शोक दोनोंसे युक्त मेनाने अपने कुलकी परम्परागत रीतियोंको सम्पन्न किया और वहाँ नाना उत्सव होने लगे; उन्होंने गिरिजाको उत्तम रत्न-वस्त्रों तथा राजोचित बारह आभूषणोंसे सुसज्जित किया। मेनाके मनकी बातको समझकर एक साध्वी ब्राह्मणपत्नीने आगे बढ़कर गिरिजाको पतिव्रता-धर्मके परम व्रतकी शिक्षा दी। बड़े प्रेमसे पार्वतीको सम्बोधित करते हुए उन्होंने बताया कि पतिव्रता स्त्री सबसे अधिक धन्य, सम्पूर्ण लोकोंको पवित्र करनेवाली तथा पापनाशिनी है, जो परमेश्वरकी भाँति प्रेमपूर्वक पतिकी सेवा करके यहाँ समस्त सुख भोगती है और अन्तमें पतिके साथ शिव-गतिको प्राप्त होती है; उन्होंने सावित्री, लोपामुद्रा, अरुन्धती, शाण्डिल्या, शतरूपा, अनसूया, लक्ष्मी, स्वधा, सती, संज्ञा, सुमति, श्रद्धा, मेना, स्वाहा आदि पूर्वकालकी महान् पतिव्रताओंका उल्लेख किया, जो इसी धर्मके प्रभावसे ब्रह्मा, विष्णु और शिवके द्वारा भी पूजित हुईं। उन्होंने पार्वतीको समझाया कि चूँकि उनके पति स्वयं शंकर हैं, अतः उन्हें सदा श्रद्धापूर्वक उनकी सेवा करनी चाहिये, क्योंकि वे दीनोंके अनुग्रहकर्ता तथा सज्जनोंकी गति हैं, और विस्तारसे पतिव्रताके आचरण-नियम बताये—पतिके भोजन तथा शयनके पश्चात् ही स्वयं भोजन-शयन करना, केवल पतिके लिये ही शृंगार करना, कभी पतिका नाम न लेना, कठोर वचन तथा प्रहार सहते हुए भी प्रत्युत्तर न देना, बुलानेपर तुरन्त उपस्थित होना, दूसरोंके द्वारपर न रुकना और बिना आज्ञा वस्तुएँ न बाँटना, पतिकी आज्ञाके बिना तीर्थयात्रा या व्रत न करना, पतिका जूठन महाप्रसाद मानकर ग्रहण करना, स्वयं भोजनसे पहले देव-पितर-अतिथि-सेवक-गौ-भिक्षुकोंको भाग देना, संयमित, दक्ष, प्रसन्नचित्त तथा व्ययसे विमुख रहना, विश्राम करते पतिको कभी न उठाना, चाहे वे निर्धन, रोगी, वृद्ध, सुखी या दुःखी हों उनकी कभी अवहेलना न करना, रजस्वला अवस्थामें उचित मर्यादाका पालन करना, स्नानके बाद पतिके अतिरिक्त किसी अन्य पुरुषका मुख न देखना, सुहागकी निशानियाँ तथा आभूषण सदा धारण किये रहना, धोबिन, वेश्या, श्रमणी, दुर्भाग्यशालिनी तथा पति-विद्वेषिणी स्त्रियोंकी संगतिसे बचना, कभी अकेली न रहना, नग्न स्नान न करना, ऊखल-मूसल-देहली जैसी अशुभ वस्तुओंपर न बैठना, समागमके उचित अवसरके अतिरिक्त उद्दण्डता न करना, पतिके सुख-दुःखमें सहभागी बनना, सम्पत्ति-विपत्तिमें एकरूप रहना, घरेलू अभावकी शिकायत न करना, ब्रह्मा-विष्णु-शिवसे भी अधिक अपने पतिको माननीय समझना, तथा क्रोधसे उत्तर न देना, ऊँचे आसनका प्रयोग न करना, निन्दा-कलह न करना और गुरुजनोंके समक्ष ऊँचे स्वरमें न बोलना न हँसना—अपितु पतिके बाहरसे आनेपर अन्न-जल, ताम्बूल, वस्त्र, पद-सम्वाहन तथा मधुर वचनोंसे उनका स्वागत करना, क्योंकि पिता, भाई अथवा पुत्र मित ही देते हैं जबकि पति ही असीम देनेवाला है और वही देवता, गुरु, धर्म, तीर्थ तथा व्रत है। उन्होंने यह भी चेतावनी दी कि इन कर्तव्योंका त्याग करनेवाली स्त्री अगले जन्ममें उलूकी, बिलाव, भेंगी, सूकरी, गूँगी अथवा विष्ठाभक्षी गीदड़ी बनती है और पिता-माता-पतिके तीनों कुलोंको अधोगतिमें ले जाती है, जबकि सच्ची पतिव्रता अपने चरण-स्पर्शमात्रसे भूमिको पवित्र करती है तथा सूर्य, चन्द्रमा, वायु और जल भी अपनी पवित्रताके लिये उसीका स्पर्श चाहते हैं, और उसे पतिसहित साक्षात् उमा-शिवके समान पूजनीय बताया, क्योंकि पति तारकमन्त्र और पत्नी स्वयं श्रुति है। ब्राह्मणपत्नीने पतिव्रताओंके चार भेद भी बताये—उत्तमा, जिसका मन स्वप्नमें भी केवल अपने पतिको ही देखता है; मध्यमा, जो अन्य पुरुषको पिता-भ्राता-पुत्रकी भाँति देखती है; निकृष्टा, जो केवल बौद्धिक धर्मज्ञानसे व्यभिचारसे बचती है; तथा अधमा, जो केवल पति और कुलके भयसे बचती है—फिर भी ये चारों ही पापनाशिनी तथा इहलोक-परलोकमें हर्षकारिणी हैं; उन्होंने अत्रिकी पत्नी अनसूयाके पातिव्रत्यके प्रभावसे तथा तीनों देवताओंकी प्रार्थनासे वराहके शापसे मृत एक ब्राह्मणके पुनर्जीवित होनेकी कथा भी सुनायी। अन्तमें उन्होंने पार्वतीको स्मरण कराया कि वे स्वयं जगदम्बा हैं और शिव साक्षात् उनके पति हैं, अतः उनका स्मरणमात्र स्त्रियोंको पतिव्रता बना देता है, इसलिये यह उपदेश उनके समक्ष अनावश्यक होते हुए भी केवल लोकाचारके अनुसार दिया गया। ऐसा कहकर ब्राह्मणपत्नी पार्वतीको प्रणाम करके मौन हो गयीं, और शंकरप्रिया पार्वतीको अत्यन्त हर्ष हुआ।
