Chapter Thirteen · Dakṣa's Sons and His Curse Upon Nārada · Verses 1–40

अथ त्रयोदशोऽध्यायः

Nārada asks Brahmā what happened once Dakṣa had gone home. Brahmā tells how Dakṣa's purely mental creation failed to increase the population of beings, and how, on Brahmā's advice, Dakṣa married Asiklī, daughter of Pañcajana, and through her begot ten thousand sons, the Haryaśvas. Sent west by their father to perform austerity for the sake of increasing progeny, the Haryaśvas were purified at the sacred confluence of the Nārāyaṇa-sara tīrtha. Nārada, understanding Viṣṇu's own intent, went to them and asked how they could undertake creation without having seen the extent of the world; persuaded, they abandoned creation for the path of renunciation and never returned. Grieving at their loss but consoled by Brahmā, Dakṣa begot a thousand more sons, the Śabalāśvas, who went to the very same place and met the identical fate at Nārada's hands. This time Dakṣa, overcome with grief and rage, confronts Nārada directly, reviling him as merciless and shameless for teaching the mendicant's path to sons still bound by their debts to sages, gods and ancestors, and curses him to wander eternally, never settled in one place. Brahmā closes by noting that Nārada, unchanging of mind, simply accepted the curse himself — for this, he says, is how a true sādhu endures such a wrong. नारद जी ब्रह्मा जी से पूछते हैं कि दक्ष के घर चले जाने के बाद क्या हुआ। ब्रह्मा जी बताते हैं कि दक्ष की केवल मानसी सृष्टि से प्रजा नहीं बढ़ी, अतः ब्रह्मा जी की सलाह पर दक्ष ने पंचजन की पुत्री असिक्नी से विवाह किया और उनसे हर्यश्व नामक दस हजार पुत्र उत्पन्न किये। पिता की आज्ञा से प्रजावृद्धि के लिये पश्चिम दिशा में तप करने गये हर्यश्व नारायणसर तीर्थ के स्पर्श से पवित्र हो गये। विष्णु के अभिप्राय को समझकर नारद जी उनके पास गये और पूछा कि बिना पृथ्वी का विस्तार देखे वे सृष्टि कैसे करेंगे; इससे प्रभावित होकर वे सृष्टि छोड़कर निवृत्तिमार्ग को प्राप्त हो गये और कभी नहीं लौटे। पुत्रों के नाश से दुःखी किंतु ब्रह्मा जी द्वारा सांत्वना पाकर दक्ष ने सबलाश्व नामक हजार पुत्र और उत्पन्न किये, जो उसी स्थान पर जाकर नारद जी के हाथों उसी परिणति को प्राप्त हुए। इस बार शोक तथा क्रोध से भरकर दक्ष स्वयं नारद जी के पास जाकर उन्हें निर्दयी तथा निर्लज्ज कहते हुए धिक्कारते हैं कि उन्होंने ऋषि, देव तथा पितृ-ऋण से मुक्त न हुए बालकों को भिक्षुमार्ग का उपदेश दिया, और उन्हें सदा भ्रमणशील रहने का शाप दे देते हैं। ब्रह्मा जी अन्त में बताते हैं कि निर्विकार बुद्धिवाले नारद जी ने वह शाप स्वयं स्वीकार कर लिया, क्योंकि सच्चा साधु ऐसे अपकार को इसी प्रकार सहन कर लेता है।

नारद उवाच — Nārada spoke: नारद जी ने कहा:
