श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — पार्वतीखण्डअथ सप्तविंशोऽध्यायः
Pārvatī assures the disguised Śiva that everything her companion Vijayā has said is true — that she has, in mind, word, and deed, chosen Śaṅkara alone as her husband, and continues her austerity out of the mind's own longing, however difficult it may be to fulfil. Hearing this, Brahmā relates, the brāhmaṇa falls silent for a moment, then explains that his own great curiosity has at last been satisfied by hearing it from her own lips, and, since their exchange has now made them friends, prepares to take his leave. Pārvatī begs him to stay and speak what is good for her, and the brāhmaṇa, pausing at her request, agrees — if she truly wishes to hear it out of devotion — to describe Mahādeva's nature fully and truly. What follows is an extended, deliberately provocative catalogue of Śiva's inauspicious attributes: his bull-mount, ash-smeared and matted-haired body, tiger-skin and elephant-hide garments, skull and serpents, poison-smeared throat, misshapen eyes, unknown birth, homelessness, ten arms, and constant company of ghosts and spirits. He questions why she, a jewel among women and a king's daughter, should seek so unsuitable a husband through such fierce austerity — comparing her choice to trading gold for glass, sandal for mud, sunlight for a firefly's glow, and fine silk for hide — and to abandoning home, wealth, and the protection of Indra and the other world-guardians for a homeless beggar. He draws out, point by point, the utter incongruity between her own loveliness and Śiva's fearsome form — her lotus eyes against his three, her single moon face against his five, her jewelled ornaments against his serpents, her sweet music against his fearsome drums and horn — and recalls how Śiva burned Kāma and abandoned Satī to shame after Dakṣa's insult, how his lineage, learning, and character are all unknown or suspect, and how, ever solitary and dispassionate, he is wholly unfit to have his mind joined to hers. Whatever is base or unworthy, the brāhmaṇa declares, is exactly what she is pursuing; let her turn her mind from it — or else do as she pleases. Hearing this torrent of denunciation, Brahmā relates, Pārvatī, her mind now filled with anger, turns to answer the brāhmaṇa who has so reviled Śiva. पार्वती वेशधारी शिवसे कहती हैं कि उनकी सखी विजयाने जो कुछ कहा है, वह सब सत्य है—उन्होंने मन, वचन तथा कर्मसे केवल शंकरको ही पतिरूपमें वरण किया है और चाहे यह कितना ही दुर्लभ क्यों न हो, वे मनकी उत्सुकतासे ही तप कर रही हैं। यह सुनकर, ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं, वह ब्राह्मण क्षणभर चुप रहनेके बाद कहता है कि उसकी बड़ी इच्छा अब उनके ही मुखसे सुनकर पूर्ण हो गयी, और चूँकि अब उनमें मित्रता हो गयी है, वह जानेकी तैयारी करता है। पार्वती उससे रुककर उनका हित कहनेका आग्रह करती हैं, और ब्राह्मण, उनके कहनेपर रुककर, यदि वे सचमुच भक्तिपूर्वक सुनना चाहती हों तो महादेवके स्वरूपका पूर्ण तथा यथार्थ वर्णन करनेको सहमत हो जाता है। इसके बाद वह शिवके अमंगल गुणोंकी विस्तृत तथा जान-बूझकर उत्तेजक सूची प्रस्तुत करता है—वृषभवाहन, भस्मलिप्त तथा जटाधारी शरीर, व्याघ्रचर्म तथा गजचर्मके वस्त्र, कपाल तथा सर्प, विषलिप्त कण्ठ, विरूप नेत्र, अज्ञात जन्म, गृहहीनता, दस भुजाएँ तथा भूत-प्रेतोंका सतत साथ। वह प्रश्न करता है कि स्त्रियोंमें रत्न तथा राजकुमारी होकर भी वे इतने उग्र तपसे ऐसे अनुपयुक्त पतिको क्यों चाहती हैं—उनकी इस पसन्दको स्वर्णके बदले काँच, चन्दनके बदले कीचड़, सूर्यके प्रकाशके बदले जुगनूकी चमक तथा रेशमके बदले चर्म लेनेके समान बताता है—और घर, धन तथा इन्द्रादि लोकपालोंकी शरण छोड़कर एक गृहहीन भिखारीको अपनानेकी बात कहता है। वह बिन्दु-बिन्दुकर उनके सौंदर्य और शिवके भयंकर रूपके बीचके पूर्ण वैपरीत्यको उजागर करता है—उनके कमलनेत्रोंके सामने शिवके तीन नेत्र, उनके एक चन्द्रमुखके सामने शिवके पाँच मुख, उनके आभूषणोंके सामने शिवके सर्प, उनके मधुर संगीतके सामने शिवके भयानक ढोल-नगाड़े और सींगका शब्द—और स्मरण दिलाता है कि कैसे शिवने कामदेवको भस्म किया तथा दक्षके अपमानके बाद सतीको त्याग दिया, कैसे उनकी जाति, विद्या तथा चरित्र सब अज्ञात या संदिग्ध हैं, और कैसे सदा एकाकी तथा विरक्त रहनेवाले शिव उनके मनसे जुड़नेके सर्वथा अयोग्य हैं। जो कुछ भी असत् तथा अनुपयुक्त है, ब्राह्मण कहता है, वही वे चाह रही हैं; वे अपना मन उससे हटा लें—अन्यथा जैसा चाहें वैसा करें। यह निन्दाभरी बात सुनकर, ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं, पार्वतीका मन क्रोधसे भर उठता है और वे उस शिवनिन्दक ब्राह्मणको उत्तर देनेके लिये मुड़ती हैं।
