श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — पार्वतीखण्डअथ पञ्चत्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Nārada asks Brahmā what Himālaya did upon hearing the story of Anaraṇya's gift of his daughter, and Brahmā narrates that Himālaya, with folded hands, again questioned Vasiṣṭha, asking what Padmā did after obtaining the aged sage Pippalāda as her husband. Vasiṣṭha tells how Pippalāda, worn out by age, lived contentedly in his forest hermitage with his young wife, whom Padmā served with perfect devotion, like Lakṣmī serving Nārāyaṇa. One day, as she went to bathe in the golden river, Dharma, disguised by his own māyā as a splendid young king, saw her and, wishing to test the sage's wife, propositioned her with flattering words, urging her to abandon her dying, aged husband for himself. Padmā spurned him fiercely, condemning any woman ruled by desire and any man enslaved by a woman as sinners shunned by gods and ancestors alike, and declared she would never forsake Pippalāda, purified by austerity, for a lustful stranger. Not knowing his true identity, and only realizing after the fact that she had, in her own manner, treated Dharma — himself the very embodiment of impartial judgment — as she would an erring son, she cursed him to decline over time. Dharma then dropped his disguise and, trembling, revealed his true form, explaining that he had come only to test her chastity and that her curse, issued in ignorance, was nonetheless a fitting chastisement, since punishment for wrongdoing is itself ordained by Śiva, whose supreme power over creation and destruction, over the elements, and over Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Maheśa he then extolled. Astonished and moved, Padmā asked why he had toyed with her, admitted her fault, and softened her curse into an ordinance: Dharma would stand complete in the Satya age but lose one leg in each successive age — Tretā, Dvāpara, and Kali — until, at the end of Kali, utterly broken, he would be made whole again with the return of Satya. Pleased with this fair resolution, Dharma blessed the still-devoted Padmā with abundant boons — a husband forever young, virtuous, and eloquent, more long-lived than Mārkaṇḍeya, wealthier than Kubera, more prosperous than Indra, equal to Viṣṇu in devotion to Śiva, to Kapila in accomplishment, to Bṛhaspati in wisdom, and to Brahmā in equanimity; lasting youth and good fortune for herself; and ten virtuous, long-lived sons surpassing their own father. Dharma then departed praising her everywhere, and Padmā lived on in joy with her husband, in time bearing sons of great merit, their household overflowing with prosperity in this world and the next. Concluding this ancient history, Vasiṣṭha urges Himālaya, now that he has heard its lesson, to abandon his stubbornness together with Menā and give his daughter Girijā, the primal Mother of the universe, to Śiva, the Father of the universe, at the rare and supremely auspicious hour soon to come — a week hence, in the month of Mārgaśīrṣa, on a fault-free Monday under benefic influences — so that he may fulfil his life's purpose. Having said this, Vasiṣṭha falls silent, remembering Śiva, lord of manifold divine sports. नारदजी ब्रह्माजीसे पूछते हैं कि अनरण्यके कन्यादानकी कथा सुनकर हिमालयने क्या किया, और ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं कि हिमालयने हाथ जोड़कर पुनः वसिष्ठजीसे पूछा कि पिप्पलाद मुनिको पति रूपमें पाकर पद्माने आगे क्या किया। वसिष्ठजी बताते हैं कि वृद्ध पिप्पलाद अपनी युवा पत्नीके साथ वनके आश्रममें संतोषपूर्वक रहने लगे, और पद्मा उनकी सेवा वैसे ही भक्तिभावसे करने लगी, जैसे लक्ष्मी नारायणकी सेवा करती हैं। एक दिन स्वर्णनदीमें स्नान करने जाती हुई पद्माको देखकर धर्मने मायासे सुन्दर युवा राजाका रूप धारणकर उसकी परीक्षा लेनी चाही और उसे वृद्ध पतिको त्यागकर अपने साथ विहार करनेका लोभ दिखाया। पद्माने कामके वशीभूत स्त्री-पुरुषोंकी कठोर निन्दा करते हुए उसे फटकारा और तपसे पवित्र पिप्पलादको त्यागकर किसी कामी परपुरुषका वरण करनेसे स्पष्ट इनकार कर दिया। धर्मका वास्तविक परिचय न जानते हुए, स्वयं द्वारा उनके साथ अनुचित व्यवहार होनेका आभास होनेपर, उसने क्रोधवश उन्हें शाप दे दिया कि समयके साथ उनका क्षय हो जायगा। इसपर धर्मने अपना कपटरूप त्यागकर काँपते हुए अपना वास्तविक स्वरूप प्रकट किया और बताया कि वे तो केवल उसके पातिव्रत्यकी परीक्षा लेने आये थे, तथा उसका अज्ञानवश दिया गया शाप भी उचित ही था, क्योंकि दुराचारियोंके लिये दण्डकी व्यवस्था स्वयं शिवने ही बनायी है—इसी क्रममें उन्होंने सृष्टि-संहारमें समर्थ, ब्रह्मा-विष्णु-महेशके भी अधिष्ठाता शिवजीकी महिमाका वर्णन किया। चकित तथा प्रभावित पद्माने अपनी भूल स्वीकार करते हुए शापको इस रूपमें व्यवस्थित किया कि धर्म सत्ययुगमें पूर्ण रहेंगे, किंतु त्रेता, द्वापर तथा कलियुगमें क्रमशः एक-एक चरण खोते जायँगे और कलियुगके अन्तमें सर्वथा खण्डित होकर सत्ययुगके पुनरागमनपर फिरसे पूर्ण हो जायँगे। इस न्यायपूर्ण समाधानसे प्रसन्न होकर धर्मने पातिव्रत्यसे युक्त पद्माको अनेक वर दिये—सदा युवा, गुणवान् तथा वाक्पटु पति, मार्कण्डेयसे भी अधिक चिरंजीवी, कुबेरसे भी अधिक धनवान्, इन्द्रसे भी अधिक ऐश्वर्यशाली, शिवभक्तिमें विष्णुतुल्य, सिद्धिमें कपिलतुल्य, बुद्धिमें बृहस्पतितुल्य तथा समतामें ब्रह्मातुल्य; स्वयं पद्माके लिये स्थिर यौवन तथा सौभाग्य; और पिता से भी बढ़कर गुणवान् दस दीर्घजीवी पुत्र। इसके पश्चात् धर्म हर सभामें उसकी प्रशंसा करते हुए चले गये, और पद्मा अपने पतिके साथ सुखपूर्वक रहने लगी तथा समयानुसार उत्तम गुणोंवाले पुत्रोंको जन्म दिया, जिससे उनका घर इहलोक और परलोक दोनोंमें सम्पत्तिसे परिपूर्ण हो गया। इस प्राचीन इतिहासको समाप्तकर वसिष्ठजी हिमालयसे कहते हैं कि अब इसका मर्म समझकर मेनाके सहित अपना हठ त्यागकर, जगत्की माता गिरिजाको जगत्के पिता शिवके लिये—एक सप्ताह पश्चात् मार्गशीर्ष मासके शुभ, दोषरहित सोमवारको आनेवाले दुर्लभ शुभ मुहूर्तमें—अर्पणकर वे अपने जीवनको सफल करें। यह कहकर वसिष्ठजी शिवका स्मरणकर मौन हो जाते हैं।

स्त्रीके वशीभूत पुरुषके स्पर्शमात्रसे सारा पुण्य नष्ट हो जाता है। स्त्रीजित पुरुष महापापी है और उसका दर्शन भी पापको लानेवाला है।
By the mere touch of a man conquered by a woman, all merit is destroyed; one conquered by a woman is a great sinner, and even the sight of him brings sin.
