Chapter 22·Śiva and Satī's Life on the Himālaya·Verses 1–70
अथ द्वाविंशोऽध्यायः
As the monsoon breaks over Kailāsa, Satī, growing anxious at their lack of a settled home through the fearsome rains, appeals to Śiva at length, describing the thunderclouds, gusting winds, hail and darkened skies of the season in vivid and personal terms, and begging him to build them a proper dwelling before the storms grow worse. Amused by her earnestness, Śiva laughingly promises to build a home the rain-clouds can never reach, and lays out for her, in loving and extensive detail, several possible mountain abodes: the Himālaya, ever free of cloud above a certain height; his own Kailāsa, resplendent with the Gaṅgā's waters and Kubera's city of Alakā, sung over by Brahmā's daughters; and towering Sumeru, ringed by the cities of Indra, Kubera, Yama, Varuṇa, Agni, and the other guardians of the directions, and crowned by the abode of the gods attended by Rambhā, Śacī, Menakā and other Apsarases. Asked to choose, Satī names the Himālaya itself, and Śiva takes her there to a magnificent peak — crystalline, thronged with Siddha women, wholly inaccessible to birds, ringed with lakes, blooming lotuses and flowering trees, alive with birdsong, and filled with Vidyādharīs, Kinnarīs, Apsarases dancing to vīṇā and mṛdaṅga, and mountain maidens. There, in that heaven-like place, Śiva and Satī sport together for ten thousand years by the reckoning of the gods, sometimes journeying instead to the peak of Meru or roaming among the earth's various continents, gardens and forests before returning again to their mountain home. Absorbed wholly in each other, Śiva gives his mind neither to sacrifice, to contemplation of the Absolute, nor to austerity, holding Satī alone dear; each gazes constantly upon the other's face, and, Brahmā says, in this mutual union the tree of their love only grows, watered continually by the depth of their devotion to one another.कैलास पर्वत पर वर्षा ऋतु के आगमन पर सती को स्थायी निवास न होने की चिन्ता होने लगती है और वे शिवजी से अपने भय का विस्तार से वर्णन करते हुए — बादलों की गर्जना, प्रचण्ड वायु, ओलावृष्टि तथा अन्धकारमय आकाश का चित्रण करती हुई — शीघ्र ही एक उपयुक्त निवासस्थान बनाने का अनुरोध करती हैं। सती की व्यग्रता से प्रसन्न होकर शिवजी हँसते हुए ऐसा निवासस्थान बनाने का वचन देते हैं, जहाँ मेघ कभी नहीं पहुँच सकेंगे, और उन्हें विस्तार से अनेक सम्भावित पर्वतीय निवासों का वर्णन सुनाते हैं — हिमालय, जिसके एक निश्चित ऊँचाई से ऊपर मेघ कभी नहीं जाते; स्वयं का कैलास, जो गंगाजल तथा कुबेर की अलकापुरी से सुशोभित है और जहाँ ब्रह्मकन्याएँ गान करती हैं; तथा विशाल सुमेरु, जो इन्द्र, कुबेर, यम, वरुण, अग्नि आदि दिक्पालों की पुरियों से घिरा है और जिसके शिखर पर रम्भा, शची, मेनका आदि अप्सराओं से सेवित देवालय है। चुनने को कहे जाने पर सती हिमालय को ही चुनती हैं, और शिवजी उन्हें वहाँ के एक भव्य शिखर पर ले जाते हैं — स्फटिकमय, सिद्धांगनाओं से युक्त, पक्षियों के लिये भी अगम्य, सरोवरों, खिले कमलों तथा पुष्पित वृक्षों से घिरा, पक्षियों के कलरव से गुंजित तथा विद्याधरियों, किन्नरियों एवं वीणा-मृदंग पर नृत्य करती अप्सराओं तथा पर्वतकन्याओं से भरा हुआ। वहाँ, उस स्वर्गतुल्य स्थान में, शिव और सती देवताओं की गणनानुसार दस हजार वर्षों तक साथ विहार करते हैं, कभी मेरु शिखर की ओर जाते हैं तो कभी पृथ्वी के विभिन्न द्वीपों, उद्यानों तथा वनों में विचरण कर पुनः अपने पर्वतीय निवास में लौट आते हैं। एक-दूसरे में पूर्णतः लीन शिवजी न यज्ञ में, न ब्रह्मचिन्तन में और न तप में मन लगाते हैं, केवल सती को ही प्रिय मानते हैं; दोनों निरन्तर एक-दूसरे के मुख को निहारते रहते हैं, और ब्रह्माजी के अनुसार इस पारस्परिक संयोग में उनके प्रेमरूपी वृक्ष को उनकी परस्पर भक्तिरूपी जल निरन्तर सींचकर बढ़ाता रहता है।
