Chapter Seven·The Marriage of Arundhatī and Vasiṣṭha·Verses 1–27
अथ सप्तमोऽध्यायः
Brahmā tells how Sandhyā, unseen by anyone through Śiva's grace, held Vasiṣṭha in her heart as her chosen husband and entered the blazing fire of the sage Medhātithi's great sacrifice. Her body, consumed, became the morning and evening twilights; her life-breath, given a divine body by compassionate Śiva, was born from that same fire as Medhātithi's daughter, radiant as molten gold, whom he named Arundhatī for how she never obstructs dharma. Growing up in his hermitage on the Candrabhāgā, she was given in marriage — arranged by Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara together — to Vasiṣṭha, and bore him illustrious sons beginning with Śakti. Brahmā closes the story of Sandhyā here, promising its fruit to any who hear it.ब्रह्मा जी बताते हैं कि शिवजी की कृपा से किसी के द्वारा भी न देखी गयी सन्ध्या ने वसिष्ठ को अपने हृदय में पतिरूप से धारणकर महर्षि मेधातिथि के महायज्ञ की प्रज्वलित अग्नि में प्रवेश किया। उसका शरीर जलकर प्रातः तथा सायं सन्ध्या हुआ; उसका प्राण, दयालु शिवजी द्वारा दिव्य शरीर से युक्त होकर, उसी अग्नि से तपे हुए सुवर्ण के समान कान्तिवाली मेधातिथि की पुत्री के रूप में उत्पन्न हुआ, जिसका नाम उन्होंने अरुन्धती रखा — क्योंकि वह किसी भी कारण से धर्म को कभी अवरुद्ध नहीं करती। चन्द्रभागा नदी के तटपर उनके आश्रम में बड़ी होकर, ब्रह्मा, विष्णु तथा महेश्वर द्वारा उसका विवाह वसिष्ठ से करवाया गया, जिससे शक्ति आदि श्रेष्ठ पुत्र उत्पन्न हुए। ब्रह्मा जी यहाँ सन्ध्या की कथा को समाप्त करते हैं, इसे सुननेवाले को इसका फल देने की प्रतिज्ञा करते हुए।

हे मुने! उस समय शिवजी वर देकर अन्तर्धान हो गये, तब सन्ध्या भी वहीं गयी, जहाँ महर्षि मेधातिथि थे।
O sage, when Śambhu, having granted the boon, had vanished, Sandhyā too went to that very place where the sage Medhātithi was.
