Chapter 23: The Nine Limbs of Bhakti — Śrī Śiva Mahāpurāṇa

Chapter 23 · The Nine Limbs of Bhakti · Verses 1–56

अथ त्रयोविंशोऽध्यायः

Content at last with their long years of play, Satī grows dispassionate and, meeting Śiva alone, bows to him and asks to know the supreme truth that frees a soul, easily and at once, from the sorrow of transmigration. Śiva identifies that truth as vijñāna, the pure, unwavering realization 'I am Brahman,' and declares that the mother of this realization is nothing other than his own bhakti, devotion, which he goes on to expound in full: its two great divisions, with qualities and without; their further division by steadfastness; and, at the heart of the teaching, its nine limbs — śravaṇa (hearing), kīrtana (chanting), smaraṇa (remembrance), sevana (service), dāsya (servitude), arcana (worship), vandana (homage), sakhya (companionship), and ātma-samarpaṇa (self-surrender) — each carefully defined. Śiva praises bhakti as the one path to happiness in all three worlds and every age, and above all in the Kali age, where knowledge and dispassion alone have grown weak for want of receptive minds, while bhakti alone still bears fruit directly. He offers as proof several episodes of his own acting purely for a devotee's sake — burning away Kāla in wrath, humbling the Sun with his trident, abandoning Rāvaṇa and his army without favour, and having Vyāsa driven from Kāśī for his fault — declaring himself, in the end, wholly and unashamedly subject to whoever practises devotion to him. Overjoyed at this teaching, Satī bows to Śiva in her heart and asks further about the associated sciences of mantra and yantra and other saving branches of dharma; Śiva, delighted by her question, expounds these fully as well — tantra with its five aṅgas, the greatness of the various gods and their devotees together with their traditional stories, the duties of caste and stage of life, of kings, sons and wives, and the sciences of medicine, astrology and physiognomy — before the chapter closes with Satī and Śiva, both omniscient, both benefactors of the three worlds, resuming their manifold, playful sport together on Kailāsa and in other places. दीर्घकाल तक विहार करने से सन्तुष्ट होकर सती के मन में वैराग्य उत्पन्न होने लगता है और वे एकान्त में शिवजी से मिलकर उनसे उस परमतत्त्व को जानने का अनुरोध करती हैं, जिससे जीव सहज ही संसारदुःख से मुक्त हो जाता है। शिवजी उस परमतत्त्व को विज्ञान — "मैं ब्रह्म हूँ" इस शुद्ध, अटल निश्चय — के रूप में बताते हैं और कहते हैं कि इस विज्ञान की जननी उनकी अपनी भक्ति ही है, जिसका वे विस्तार से वर्णन करते हैं — सगुण और निर्गुण नामक इसके दो प्रमुख भेद, नैष्ठिकी-अनैष्ठिकी के भेद से इनका आगे विभाजन, तथा सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण, इसके नौ अंग — श्रवण, कीर्तन, स्मरण, सेवन, दास्य, अर्चन, वन्दन, सख्य तथा आत्मसमर्पण — जिनकी परिभाषा वे एक-एक कर देते हैं। शिवजी भक्ति को तीनों लोकों तथा सभी युगों में, विशेषतः कलियुग में, सुख का एकमात्र मार्ग बताते हैं, क्योंकि कलियुग में ग्राहक के अभाव में ज्ञान और वैराग्य निर्बल हो गये हैं, जबकि भक्ति अकेली ही प्रत्यक्ष फल देती है। इसके प्रमाणस्वरूप वे अपने कुछ ऐसे प्रसंग सुनाते हैं, जो उन्होंने केवल भक्त के लिये किये — क्रोधवश काल को भस्म करना, त्रिशूल से सूर्य को पराजित करना, रावण तथा उसकी सेना का बिना पक्षपात परित्याग करना, तथा अपराध के लिये व्यास को काशी से निष्कासित कराना — और अन्त में स्वयं को अपने भक्त के पूर्णतः वशीभूत घोषित करते हैं। इस उपदेश से अत्यन्त प्रसन्न होकर सती मन-ही-मन शिवजी को प्रणाम करती हैं और आगे यन्त्र-मन्त्रशास्त्र तथा अन्य जीवोद्धारक धर्मसाधनों के विषय में पूछती हैं; शिवजी उनके इस प्रश्न से प्रसन्न होकर इनका भी विस्तृत वर्णन करते हैं — पाँचों अंगों सहित तन्त्रशास्त्र, विभिन्न देवताओं तथा उनके भक्तों की इतिहास-कथासहित महिमा, वर्णाश्रमधर्म, राजधर्म, पुत्र-स्त्रीधर्म, तथा वैद्यक, ज्योतिष एवं सामुद्रिकशास्त्र — और अध्याय का समापन सर्वज्ञ, त्रिलोकहितकारी शिव-सती के कैलास तथा अन्यत्र पुनः विविध लीलाओं में रत होने के वर्णन से होता है।
