श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — सतीखण्डअथ पञ्चविंशोऽध्यायः
Śrī Rāma, still speaking to Satī, tells how Śambhu once had Viśvakarmā build a hall in his own cow-pen, installed Hari there with full royal rites, gave him the whole of his own sovereignty, boons, threefold power and his own māyā, and made his realm famed as Goloka, promising to watch over whatever avatars Hari should take — four of which are now Rāma, Bharata, Lakṣmaṇa and Śatrughna. Rāma explains why he has come to the forest and departs; Brahmā's narration then resumes: Satī, walking back to Śiva, is stricken with remorse for having disobeyed him and tested Rāma; questioned by Śiva, she denies it, though he reads the truth regardless. He recalls an old vow, made under Hari's pressure, that he would break if he loved Satī as before; grieving, he renounces her in his mind alone, without breaking the vow, and sets off for Kailāsa. A voice from the sky praises his vow; Satī, questioning him, is not told its content, but perceives by meditating on him that he has renounced her, and grieves. Śiva keeps the vow secret and, after a long interval, restores her joy through many pleasant tales and a further play, still without breaking his word — which Brahmā says should occasion no wonder, since sages hold that Satī and Śiva, joined like word and meaning, cannot truly be parted except by their own will in play. श्रीराम सती से आगे कहते हैं कि किस प्रकार शम्भु ने विश्वकर्मा से अपनी गोशाला में एक भवन बनवाकर वहाँ श्रीहरि का पूर्ण राजसी विधि से अभिषेक किया, उन्हें अपना सम्पूर्ण ऐश्वर्य, वर, त्रिविध शक्ति तथा अपनी माया प्रदान की, और उनके धाम को गोलोक नाम से विख्यात किया, तथा हरि जिस-जिस रूप में अवतार लेंगे उनकी रक्षा का वचन दिया — इन्हीं में से चार अवतार अब राम, भरत, लक्ष्मण तथा शत्रुघ्न हैं। राम अपने वन-आगमन का कारण बताकर विदा लेते हैं; इसके बाद ब्रह्मा जी की कथा पुनः आरम्भ होती है: शिव की आज्ञा न मानने और राम की परीक्षा लेने के पश्चात्ताप से भरी सती शिव के पास लौटती हैं; शिव के पूछने पर वे इनकार करती हैं, फिर भी शिव सब जान लेते हैं। उन्हें हरि के आग्रह पर पूर्व में की गयी एक प्रतिज्ञा का स्मरण होता है, जो सती से पूर्ववत् स्नेह करने पर भंग हो जायेगी; दुःखी होकर वे मन-ही-मन सती का त्याग कर देते हैं, परंतु प्रतिज्ञा नहीं तोड़ते, और कैलास की ओर चल पड़ते हैं। आकाशवाणी उनकी प्रतिज्ञा की सराहना करती है; सती के पूछने पर भी शिव प्रतिज्ञा का विषय नहीं बताते, किंतु ध्यान से सती स्वयं जान लेती हैं कि उनका त्याग हुआ है और शोकाकुल हो जाती हैं। शिव प्रतिज्ञा को गुप्त रखते हैं और दीर्घकाल बाद अनेक मनोरम कथाओं तथा एक और लीला द्वारा, प्रतिज्ञा भंग किये बिना ही, सती के शोक को दूर कर देते हैं — इसमें ब्रह्मा जी के अनुसार कोई आश्चर्य नहीं मानना चाहिये, क्योंकि मुनियों के अनुसार वाणी और अर्थ की भाँति संयुक्त सती और शिव में सच्चा वियोग सम्भव ही नहीं, केवल उनकी अपनी इच्छा से लीलावश ही ऐसा प्रतीत हो सकता है।

Having thus spoken at length, and having bowed low to the auspicious Satī, the bearer of the Raghu line then wandered on in that forest by her leave.
NoteNo standalone speaker heading is printed here, but the shift from Rāma's direct speech (closing at v38) back to third-person narration is clear from the verb "vicacāra" (he wandered) — the outer narrator, Brahmā, has resumed. Per project convention, no speaker field is added where the source prints none.

मार्ग में जाती हुई देवी सती बारम्बार चिन्ता करने लगीं कि मैंने भगवान् शिव की बात नहीं मानी और श्रीराम के प्रति कुत्सित बुद्धि कर ली।

अब शंकरजी के पास जाकर उन्हें क्या उत्तर दूँगी, इस प्रकार के विचार करने पर उन्हें बहुत पश्चात्ताप हुआ।

उन्हें अपनी उस प्रतिज्ञा का स्मरण हो आया, जिसे हरि के विशेष आग्रह करने पर मर्यादाप्रतिपालक उन रुद्र ने विवाह के लिये देवताओं के द्वारा निवेदन किये जाने पर पूर्व में किया था।

इस प्रकार मन में अनेक तरहसे विचार कर वेद और धर्म के प्रतिपालक शंकरजी ने हृदयसे सती का त्याग कर दिया, किंतु अपनी प्रतिज्ञा को नष्ट नहीं किया।
Having thus deliberated at length, he, the guardian of the Veda and of dharma, renounced Satī in his heart, yet did not let his vow be destroyed.

तत्पश्चात् परमेश्वर शिव जी मन से सती को त्यागकर अपने कैलासपर्वत की ओर चल दिये। उन प्रभुने अपने निश्चय को किसी के सामने प्रकट नहीं किया।
Then the supreme Lord, having renounced that Satī in his mind, set off for his own mountain; and that Lord kept the distinction he had thus resolved on unspoken to anyone.

मार्ग में जाते हुए महेश्वर को, अन्य सबको तथा विशेषकर सतीको सुनाते हुए आकाशवाणी हुई।
As he walked upon the road, a voice from the sky spoke to Maheśvara, making it heard by everyone there, and by Dakṣa's daughter in particular:

सती के इस प्रकार पूछनेपर भी सबका हित करनेवाले प्रभुने पहले अपने विवाह के विषय में भगवान् विष्णु के सामने जो प्रतिज्ञा की थी, उसे नहीं बताया।
Though thus questioned by Satī, Giriśa, the Lord who wishes her only well, did not tell her the vow he had once made, at the time of his own marriage, before Hari.

हे मुने! उस समय सती अपने प्राणवल्लभ पति भगवान् शिव का ध्यान करके प्रियतम के द्वारा अपने त्याग-सम्बन्धी समस्त कारणको जान गयीं।
O sage, then Satī, meditating upon Śiva, her own husband, dearer to her than life, came to know entirely that cause, consisting in her beloved's own renunciation of her.

सती के मनोभावको जानकर प्रभु शिवने उनके लिये जो प्रतिज्ञा की थी, उसे गुप्त ही रखा और वे दूसरी बहुत-सी कथाएँ कहने लगे।
Śiva, knowing well the state of her mind, kept his own vow secret from Satī, the Lord speaking instead of many other tales.

इस प्रकार नाना प्रकार की कथाएँ कहते हुए वे सती के साथ कैलास पर जा पहुँचे और श्रेष्ठ आसन पर स्थित हो समाधि लगाकर अपने स्वरूप का ध्यान करने लगे।
Telling manifold tales, he reached Kailāsa together with Satī; and, seated on his fine seat, the yogī, given over to samādhi, took up meditation upon his own true form.

सती अत्यन्त व्याकुलचित्त होकर अपने धाममें रहने लगीं। हे मुने! शिवा और शिवके उस चरित्रको किसीने नहीं जाना।
There Satī remained in her own abode, her mind greatly troubled; O sage, no one at all came to know that conduct of Śivā and Śiva.

O great sage, thus a great span of time passed for those two lords, who, following the play of the world, had each taken up a body of their own choosing.

और उन्होंने व्यथित हृदयसे शिवको प्रणाम किया। उदार चित्तवाले शम्भुने उन्हें अपने सामने [बैठनेके लिये] आसन दिया
The goddess then bowed to Śiva, her heart consumed with anguish; and Śambhu, noble of mind, gave her a seat there facing him.

She obtained happiness as before, yet he did not give up his own vow; dear one, this should not be thought a wonder in Śiva, the supreme Lord.

O sage, the sages tell the story of Śivā and Śiva thus; and indeed, some unlearned people ask — how, then, could there be separation between them at all?

शिवा और शिव के वास्तविक चरित्र को कौन जान सकता है? वे दोनों सदा अपनी इच्छासे क्रीड़ा करते और [भाँति-भाँतिकी] लीलाएँ करते हैं।
Who can truly know, in ultimate terms, the conduct of Śivā and Śiva? Those two, sporting always at their own will, ever act as they choose.

Satī and Śiva are ever surely joined together, indeed, like word and its own meaning; separation between them is impossible, save when it comes about by their own will alone.
