Chapter 36·The Counsel of the Seven Sages·Verses 1–34
अथ षट्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Continuing his account to Nārada, Brahmā describes how Himālaya, having heard Vasiṣṭha's words, turns astonished to his fellow mountains — Meru, Sahya, Gandhamādana, Mandara, Mainā ka, Vindhya, and the rest — and asks them to deliberate on what he should do about giving Pārvatī in marriage to Śiva. The mountains, having conferred, tell Himālaya that further deliberation is pointless: the girl was born for the very purpose of the gods' work, to be given to Śiva, and Rudra himself has, as it were, already accepted her devotion. Delighted at this counsel, Himālaya's heart rejoices and Girijā smiles inwardly; Arundhatī then persuades Menā with various arguments and old stories, and Menā, once convinced, joyfully feeds the sages, Arundhatī, and Himālaya himself before eating. Free of doubt and filled with reverence, Himālaya addresses the seven great sages, declaring that his own body, his wife Menā, his sons and daughter, his prosperity and accomplishments — all belong to Śiva and none other; he adorns his daughter and seats her in the lap of the sage, announcing that he has resolved to give this portion to Śiva. The sages reply that since Śiva himself is a mendicant, Himālaya the giver, and Pārvatī herself the very alms bestowed, nothing could be more fitting — just as Himālaya's peaks tower supreme above all others, so is he supreme and blessed among the lords of mountains. Blessing the girl with a touch of the hand, the sages wish that she bring good fortune to Śiva and that her virtues wax like the moon in the bright fortnight, then joyfully offer Himālaya flowers and fruit as a token of good faith. Arundhatī further wins over Menā by praising Śiva's virtues, and Himālaya, following worldly custom, has his beard anointed with turmeric and vermilion as an auspicious rite. On the fourth day, an auspicious hour having been fixed, all repair with mutual satisfaction to Śiva's presence, bow to him, praise him with many hymns, and — addressing him as God of gods, Great God, supreme Lord, greatest Master — report with delight what his servants have accomplished: Himālaya and Menā have been won over through many fine words and old tales, and Himālaya has, beyond doubt, pledged Pārvatī in marriage. The sages urge Śiva to go at once, with his hosts and the gods, to Himālaya's house and duly wed Pārvatī for the sake of begetting a son. Delighted and mindful of worldly custom, Maheśa laughingly confesses that he has never witnessed or heard of a wedding and asks the sages to prescribe its rites as known of old. The sages, laughing in turn at this worldly reply from the Lord of lords, ask him to summon at once Viṣṇu with his whole assembly, Brahmā with his son, Indra of a hundred sacrifices, all the hosts of sages, yakṣas, gandharvas, kinnaras, siddhas, vidyādharas, and apsarases, assuring him that all these, brought together with due honour, will without doubt accomplish his task. Having said this, the seven sages, receiving Śiva's assent, joyfully depart each to his own abode, proclaiming as they go the glory of Śaṅkara's ways.वसिष्ठजीके वचन सुनकर हिमालय अपने गणोंसहित चकित हो उठते हैं और मेरु, सह्य, गन्धमादन, मन्दर, मैनाक, विन्ध्य आदि पर्वतोंको बुलाकर उनसे परामर्श माँगते हैं कि पार्वतीके विवाहके विषयमें अब क्या करना उचित है। पर्वत लोग विचार करके कहते हैं कि अब विमर्शकी आवश्यकता नहीं है—यह कन्या तो देवकार्यके लिये ही, अर्थात् शिवजीको दिये जानेके लिये ही उत्पन्न हुई है, और रुद्रने स्वयं मानो इसकी आराधना स्वीकार भी कर ली है। यह सुनकर हिमालय अत्यन्त प्रसन्न होते हैं और गिरिजा मन-ही-मन हँसती हैं। अरुन्धती नाना प्रकारके वचनों तथा प्राचीन इतिहासोंसे मेनाको समझाती हैं, और मेना सहमत होकर मुनियों, अरुन्धती तथा हिमालयको भोजन कराकर स्वयं भोजन करती हैं। तदनन्तर निःशंक हिमालय हाथ जोड़कर सप्तर्षियोंसे कहते हैं कि मेरा शरीर, पत्नी मेना, पुत्र-पुत्री, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि—सब कुछ शिवका ही है, अन्य किसीका नहीं; और यह कहकर वे अपनी सुसज्जित पुत्रीको मुनिकी गोदमें बैठा देते हैं तथा घोषित करते हैं कि यह भाग उन्होंने शिवके लिये देनेका निश्चय कर लिया है। ऋषिगण उत्तर देते हैं कि शंकर स्वयं भिक्षुक हैं, हिमालय दाता हैं और पार्वती देवी स्वयं भिक्षा हैं—इससे बढ़कर और क्या हो सकता है; जैसे हिमालयके शिखर सबसे ऊँचे हैं, वैसे ही वे सम्पूर्ण पर्वतोंमें सर्वश्रेष्ठ तथा धन्य हैं। मुनिगण हाथसे स्पर्शकर कन्याको आशीर्वाद देते हैं कि वह शिवके लिये सुखदायिनी हो और शुक्लपक्षके चन्द्रमाकी भाँति उसके गुण बढ़ते रहें, फिर विश्वासस्वरूप हिमालयको फल-फूल भेंटकर प्रसन्नतापूर्वक विदा होते हैं। अरुन्धती पुनः शिवजीके गुणोंका बखानकर मेनाको मोहित करती हैं, और हिमालय लौकिक रीतिके अनुसार हल्दी-कुंकुमसे अपनी दाढ़ी-मूँछका मार्जन कराकर मंगलाचार करते हैं। चौथे दिन शुभ लग्न निश्चितकर सभी परस्पर सन्तुष्ट होकर शिवजीके समीप पहुँचते हैं, उन्हें प्रणामकर विविध सूक्तियोंसे उनकी स्तुति करते हैं और देवाधिदेव महादेवसे निवेदन करते हैं कि उनके सेवकोंने प्रेमपूर्वक जो कार्य किया है, वह यह है—हिमालय तथा मेनाको भलीभाँति समझा दिया गया है और गिरिराजने पार्वतीके विवाहकी वाणी देकर वचन दे दिया है, अतः अब आप गणों तथा देवताओंसहित विवाहके लिये पधारें और यथारीति पार्वतीसे विवाहकर सन्तानोत्पत्तिका मार्ग प्रशस्त करें। यह सुनकर प्रसन्नचित्त महेशजी हँसते हुए कहते हैं कि उन्होंने न तो कभी विवाह देखा है, न सुना है, अतः मुनिजन ही विधिपूर्वक इसकी रीति बतायें। इसपर ऋषिगण हँसते हुए कहते हैं कि आप शीघ्र ही विष्णु, ब्रह्माजी, इन्द्र, समस्त ऋषिगण, यक्ष, गन्धर्व, किन्नर, सिद्ध, विद्याधर तथा अप्सराओंको आदरपूर्वक बुला लें—वे सब निश्चय ही आपका कार्य सिद्ध कर देंगे। यह कहकर सप्तर्षिगण शिवजीकी आज्ञा पाकर हर्षपूर्वक शंकरकी महिमाका बखान करते हुए अपने-अपने धामको लौट जाते हैं।
