Chapter 51 · The Revival of Kāmadeva · Verses 1–43

अथैकपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः

Continuing his narration to Nārada, Brahmā tells how, amid the joy of the wedding, Rati, grieving for her husband Kāma whom Śiva had earlier burnt to ashes, approached Śaṅkara and begged him to restore Kāma to life, protesting that she alone was sorrowful amid the festivities and that only Śiva, all-capable, could end her grief. Handing him the ash-relic of Kāma tied in a knot, she wept before him, and, hearing her cries, Sarasvatī and the other goddesses wept and pleaded with Śiva as well, praising him as tender to his devotees and begging him to revive Kāma and restore Rati's spirit. Moved to compassion, Maheśvara cast his merciful glance upon the ashes, and Kāma emerged from them in his former beautiful form, bow and arrow in hand; Rati, overjoyed, bowed to her living husband and to Maheśvara, and praised Śiva for reuniting her with the lord of her life. Pleased by Kāma's and Rati's praise, Śaṅkara offered Kāma a boon; Kāma, overcome with joy, asked only to be forgiven his past offence and granted love and devotion toward Śiva's own people. Śiva granted this gladly and sent Kāma to wait upon Viṣṇu outside; there the gods welcomed him with blessings, reflecting that no one but oneself is the true cause of one's own joy or sorrow, and that protection, marriage and conception each come in their own time, beyond anyone's power to prevent. All the gods, their wishes fulfilled, remained there content, and Kāma too dwelt there by Śiva's command amid cries of victory and praise. Śambhu then fed Pārvatī in his dwelling and was fed by her in turn; following worldly custom, he took leave of Menā and the mountain-lord and, amid Vedic chant and music, went with the wedding party to the guest-lodging, where he bowed to the sages, to Viṣṇu and to Brahmā, and was in turn honoured by the gods. Viṣṇu, Brahmā, Indra, the gods, sages, siddhas, demigods and nāgas each praised Śiva separately, extolling him as the formless, qualityless support of all who yet assumes form through his own sport and through the qualities of Māyā, as friend of the lowly and ocean of compassion, beyond speech and mind. Pleased with their praise, Śambhu Maheśāna, lord of Girijā, bestowed his gracious regard upon them all; and the gods, having received his leave, returned to their own abodes overjoyed. ब्रह्माजी नारदजीको आगेकी कथा सुनाते हुए बताते हैं कि विवाहोत्सवके बीच रति अपने भस्म हुए पति कामदेवके लिये शोकाकुल होकर शंकरजीसे उन्हें जीवित करनेकी प्रार्थना करने लगीं, यह कहते हुए कि इस उत्सवमें सभी सुखी हैं, केवल वे ही दुःखी हैं, और शिवके सिवा कोई इस दुःखको दूर नहीं कर सकता। गाँठमें बँधी हुई कामकी भस्म शिवजीके सामने रखकर रति रोने लगीं; उनके रुदनको सुनकर सरस्वती आदि देवियाँ भी रो पड़ीं और शिवसे दीन वचन बोलते हुए भक्तवत्सल प्रभुसे कामदेवको जीवित करने तथा रतिको पुनः प्रसन्न करनेकी प्रार्थना करने लगीं। इस करुण पुकारको सुनकर करुणासागर महेश्वर प्रसन्न हो गये और अपनी कृपादृष्टिसे भस्मसे कामदेवको पूर्वरूपमें प्रकट कर दिया; रति तथा कामदेवने शिवकी स्तुति की, जिससे प्रसन्न होकर शिवजीने कामदेवसे वर माँगनेको कहा; कामदेवने अपने पूर्वापराधकी क्षमा तथा शिवके भक्तोंमें प्रीति-भक्ति माँगी, जिसे शिवजीने सहर्ष स्वीकार करते हुए उन्हें विष्णुके पास भेज दिया। वहाँ देवताओंने कामदेवका स्वागत किया और यह बताते हुए शुभाशीष दी कि सुख-दुःखका कारण मनुष्य स्वयं ही है, और रक्षा, विवाह तथा गर्भाधान समय आनेपर ही होते हैं, जिन्हें कोई रोक नहीं सकता। सभी देवता अपना मनोरथ पाकर सुखपूर्वक वहीं ठहर गये और कामदेव भी शिवकी आज्ञासे वहीं निवास करने लगे। तत्पश्चात् शम्भुने अपने निवासगृहमें पार्वतीको भोजन कराया और स्वयं भी उनके हाथसे भोजन किया; इसके बाद लोकाचारका पालन करते हुए मेना तथा हिमालयसे आज्ञा लेकर वे वेदध्वनि तथा वाद्योंके बीच बरातके साथ जनवासको चले गये। वहाँ शम्भुने मुनियों, विष्णु तथा ब्रह्माको प्रणाम किया और लोकाचारवश देवताओंने भी उनका वन्दन किया; जय-जयकार तथा वेदध्वनिसे सभी विघ्न दूर हो गये। तत्पश्चात् विष्णु, ब्रह्मा, इन्द्र, समस्त देवगण, ऋषि, सिद्ध, उपसुर तथा नागोंने पृथक्-पृथक् शिवकी स्तुति की—उन्हें अखिलाधार, निर्गुण, कारणातीत, सर्वव्यापी, तथा लीलासे रूप धारण करनेवाला, मायाके गुणोंसे आकृतिधारी, दीनबन्धु एवं करुणानिधि बताया। इस स्तुतिसे प्रसन्न होकर गिरिजानायक महेशानने सबको यथोचित सम्मान प्रदान किया, और आज्ञा पाकर सभी देवता अत्यन्त हर्षित तथा प्रसन्नचित्त होकर अपने-अपने स्थानको लौट गये।
