श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — सतीखण्डअथ 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।

ahamāgatya suprītyā sāṃtvayaṃ dakṣamātmajam | śāṃtibhāvaṃ pradaśyaiva daivaṃ prabalamityuta ||
मैं वहाँ आकर अत्यन्त स्नेह से अपने पुत्र दक्ष को सांत्वना देने लगा और शांतिभाव दिखाते हुए कहा कि दैव बड़ा प्रबल होता है।
I, coming there with great affection, consoled my son Dakṣa, showing him the disposition of peace, saying, moreover, that fate is powerful.
Note"प्रदश्यैव" is printed thus in the source (सांत्वयं...प्रदश्यैव, without repha) at a point where "प्रदर्श्यैव" (having shown) is expected; reproduced verbatim rather than emended.

वे दृढ़व्रती पुत्र भी पिता की आज्ञा से वहीं गये, जहाँ उनसे पहले उनके भाई प्रजासृष्टि के उद्देश्य से जाकर सिद्ध हो गये थे।
Those sons too, firm in vow, instructed by their father, went to that very place where their earlier brothers had gone and become accomplished in regard to the creation of progeny.

उस तीर्थ के स्पर्शमात्र से उनके पाप नष्ट हो गये और हृदय निर्मल हो गया। सुव्रती वे वहाँ ब्रह्म का जप करते हुए महान् तप करने लगे।
By merely touching those waters, their sins destroyed and their hearts made pure, of good vows, they performed great austerity there, reciting the sacred syllable.

हे नारद! उन्हें भी प्रजासृष्टि में उद्यत जानकर आप वहाँ गये और ईश्वर की गति का स्मरण करते हुए पहले की भाँति ही उनसे यह वचन कहा।
O Nārada, knowing them likewise to be intent upon the creation of progeny, you went there and, calling to mind the way that leads to the lord, spoke to them just as before.

हे मुने! अमोघदर्शन आपने उन्हें भाइयों का मार्ग दिखाकर स्वयं ऊर्ध्वगति को प्राप्त किया और वे पुत्र भी अपने भाइयों के मार्ग को प्राप्त हो गये।

उसी समय दक्ष प्रजापति को अनेक अपशकुन दिखायी देने लगे। मेरे वह पुत्र दक्ष आश्चर्यचकित होकर मन में दुःखी हो गये।
That very lord of creatures then beheld many ill omens; that son of mine, Dakṣa, became astonished, and grieved at heart.

दक्ष ने पहले की भाँति ही आपके द्वारा किये गये कार्य को सुना और अत्यन्त चकित होकर पुत्रनाश का शोक करते हुए पुत्रशोक से मूर्च्छित हो गये।
Dakṣa, exceedingly startled, heard of what you had done, as before; he grieved greatly over the loss of his sons, and swooned from grief for them.

वे दक्ष आप पर क्रोधित हो गये और कहने लगे कि "यह दुष्ट है"। उसी समय संयोगवश अनुग्रह करनेवाले आप भी वहाँ आ गये।

शोक में डूबे तथा क्रोध से होठ फड़फड़ाते हुए वे दक्ष आपको पाकर, आप पर आक्षेप करते हुए, "धिक्कार है, धिक्कार है" ऐसा कहकर निन्दा करने लगे।
That Dakṣa, overcome with grief, his lips quivering with rage, having found you, struck out at you, crying 'Shame, shame!' and reviling you.

O foremost among the base, what have you done, bearing the outward mark of the good among the good? The mendicant's path has been shown to my children — an unworthy deed done to us.

तुम जैसे निर्दयी तथा शठ ने तीनों ऋणों से मुक्त न हुए इन बालकों के इस लोक तथा परलोक दोनों के कल्याण का नाश कर दिया है।
By you, merciless and deceitful, the welfare of these, who were not yet freed from the three debts, has been destroyed in both worlds.

जो पुरुष तीनों ऋणों से उऋण हुए बिना ही घर से प्रव्रज्या ग्रहण करता है और माता-पिता को त्यागकर मोक्ष की इच्छा करता हुआ चला जाता है, वह अधोगति को प्राप्त होता है।
A man who, without having discharged the three debts, renounces the household, abandoning mother and father in desire for liberation, goes downward.

इस प्रकार शोक में डूबकर दक्ष ने सज्जनों के द्वारा सम्मानित आपको शाप दे दिया। शिव जी की माया से मोहित हुए वे ईश्वर की इच्छा को नहीं समझ सके।
Thus, in his grief, Dakṣa cursed you, who were held in honour by the good; deluded by Śiva's māyā, he did not understand the will of the Lord.
