Chapter 58·The Slaying of the Demon Dundubhinirhrāda·Verses 1–50
अथ अष्टपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra tells Vyāsa the story of how Hara slew the daitya Dundubhinirhrāda, son of Diti. When the mighty Hiraṇyākṣa is killed by Viṣṇu's deceitful allies among the gods, Diti grieves bitterly; her devoted nephew, the daitya Dundubhinirhrāda — Prahlāda's maternal uncle — consoles her, then privately resolves on a scheme to make the gods easy to conquer. Reflecting that the gods live on sacrificial oblations, that sacrifices spring from the Vedas, and that the Vedas rest on brāhmaṇas, he concludes that destroying brāhmaṇas will starve the sacrifices, starve the gods, and leave them weak and easily defeated — after which he alone will rule the three worlds and seize the gods' inexhaustible wealth. Resolving to begin at Vārāṇasī, the great home of learned, austerity-rich brāhmaṇas, before moving on to other holy fords, the deceitful demon slaughters brāhmaṇas gathering fuel and kuśa grass in the forests around Kāśī, devouring them whole without a trace, undetected — by day meditating unseen among the sages as one of their own, by night prowling as a tiger and devouring many more. One Śivarātri night, a lone devotee absorbed in worship and meditation on the God of gods in his hut becomes Dundubhinirhrāda's target; but though the demon in tiger form tries again and again, he cannot approach the devotee, whose mind is fixed firmly on Śiva and fortified by weapon-mantras. Perceiving the demon's intent, all-pervading Hara resolves to slay him: as the tiger moves to seize its prey, the three-eyed guardian of the world appears there in that very form, skilled at protecting devotees. Seeing Rudra approaching in his own form from the worshipped liṅga, the demon swells in his tiger-body to the size of a mountain in defiant contempt of the all-knowing Lord — whereupon Śiva seizes the oncoming beast and crushes it in the vice of his armpit, then, five-faced, strikes the tiger's five-faced head with a fist harder than the thunderbolt, though he loves his devotees still. Under the blow and the crushing grip the tiger roars in extreme agony, filling heaven and earth, and dies; ascetics nearby, their hearts shaken by that great cry, converge in the night toward the sound and, seeing the Lord there with the lion-tiger caught in his armpit, bow and praise Śarva with cries of victory. The brāhmaṇas plead with him to save them from this terrible affliction, to show grace, to remain there as guru of the world, and — under this very form, the name Vyāgheśa — ever to guard that foremost holy place and protect its dwellers from all further calamities, banishing the wicked and granting refuge to devotees. Moon-crested Śiva, hearing his devotees' plea, the one who loves his devotees, agrees and then declares as Maheśvara: whoever beholds him with faith in this very form will have every such affliction destroyed without doubt, and any mortal who, remembering this story and this liṅga in his heart, enters battle will win victory without doubt. Meanwhile the gods, with Indra, arrive amid cries of triumph and great celebration; bowing to Śaṅkara with love, palms folded, heads bent, they praise the one who loves his devotees, hailing him as Śaṅkara, lord of gods, remover of the afflictions of the surrendered, and thanking him for delivering them through Dundubhinirhrāda's death, and asking that he ever protect his devotees and slay the wicked, being lord of all. Hearing the gods' words, the Supreme Lord, pleased, assents and merges into that very liṅga; the astonished gods then return joyfully to their own abodes, and the brāhmaṇas too return, greatly rejoicing, the way they came. Sanatkumāra concludes that whoever hears, causes to be heard, recites, or causes to be recited this supreme story of the origin of Vyāgheśvara obtains all desires of the heart and afterward attains liberation, free of every sorrow; this matchless narrative, nectar-lettered with Śiva's play, brings heaven, fame, long life, and the increase of sons and grandsons — supremely devotion-bestowing, blessed, pleasing to Śiva, auspicious, giver of supreme knowledge, delightful, and supremely destructive of affliction.सनत्कुमारजी व्यासजीसे वह कथा कहते हैं जिसमें हर दुन्दुभिनिर्ह्राद नामक दैत्यको मारते हैं, जो दितिका पुत्र था। महाबली हिरण्याक्षके विष्णु और छलपूर्ण देवताओंके हाथों मारे जानेपर दिति अत्यन्त दुःखी होती है; उसका भतीजा दैत्य दुन्दुभिनिर्ह्राद — प्रह्लादका मामा — वचनोंसे उसे सान्त्वना देता है, फिर स्वयं एकान्तमें यह उपाय सोचता है कि देवताओंको कैसे सहज ही जीता जाये। वह विचार करता है कि देवता यज्ञभोजी हैं, यज्ञ वेदसे उत्पन्न होते हैं, और वेद ब्राह्मणोंके आश्रित हैं — अतः ब्राह्मणोंका नाश करनेसे यज्ञ नष्ट होंगे, देवता भूखे और निर्बल हो जायेंगे, और तब वह अकेला ही त्रिलोकीका स्वामी बनकर देवताओंका अक्षय धन हर लेगा। वाराणसी, जो श्रेष्ठ ब्राह्मणोंका प्रमुख स्थान है, से आरम्भ कर अन्य तीर्थोंकी ओर जानेका निश्चय कर वह कपटी दैत्य काशीके वनोंमें समिधा-कुश लेने जानेवाले ब्राह्मणोंको बिना किसी चिह्नके निगल जाता है — दिनमें मुनियोंके बीच मुनिवेषमें छिपा रहता है, रातमें व्याघ्ररूप धारण कर अनेक ब्राह्मणोंको खा जाता है। एक शिवरात्रिकी रात्रिमें एक भक्त अपनी कुटियामें देवदेवकी पूजा कर ध्यानमग्न बैठा होता है; दुन्दुभिनिर्ह्राद उसे ग्रस लेनेका विचार करता है, परन्तु वह भक्त शिवमें दृढ़चित्त और अस्त्रमन्त्रोंसे सुरक्षित होनेके कारण दैत्य उसके पास बार-बार जाकर भी उसे स्पर्श नहीं कर पाता। दैत्यका अभिप्राय जानकर सर्वव्यापी हर उसके वधका निश्चय करते हैं — ज्योंही व्याघ्र उस भक्तको पकड़ना चाहता है, त्यों ही भक्तरक्षामें कुशल त्रिनेत्रधारी जगद्रक्षक उसी रूपमें वहाँ प्रकट हो जाते हैं। पूजित लिंगसे रुद्रको आते देखकर दैत्य सर्वज्ञ शिवकी अवज्ञा करते हुए उसी व्याघ्ररूपमें पर्वतके समान विशाल हो जाता है; तब आते हुए उस व्याघ्रको शिव पकड़कर अपनी कक्षा में दबा लेते हैं, और पञ्चमुख होकर उस पञ्चमुखी व्याघ्रके सिरपर वज्रसे भी कठोर मुष्टिसे प्रहार करते हैं — यद्यपि वे भक्तवत्सल ही हैं। मुष्टिप्रहार और कक्षामें पीड़नसे अत्यन्त पीड़ित होकर व्याघ्र आकाश-पृथ्वीको भरता हुआ चीत्कार करता है और मर जाता है; उस महानादसे चित्त काँप उठनेपर समीपवर्ती तपस्वी रातमें शब्दका अनुसरण कर वहाँ पहुँचते हैं और सिंह-व्याघ्रको काँखमें दबाये ईश्वरको देखकर प्रणामपूर्वक जय-जयकारसे शर्वकी स्तुति करते हैं। ब्राह्मण प्रार्थना करते हैं कि वे इस भीषण विघ्नसे उनकी रक्षा करें, कृपा करें, वहीं जगद्गुरुके रूपमें विराजें, और इसी रूपमें, व्याघ्रेश नामसे, सदा उस श्रेष्ठ स्थानकी रक्षा करते हुए तीर्थवासियोंको अन्य उपद्रवोंसे बचायें, दुष्टोंको दूर कर भक्तोंको अभय प्रदान करें। भक्तवत्सल चन्द्रशेखर भक्तोंकी यह प्रार्थना सुनकर स्वीकृति देते हैं और महेश्वररूपमें कहते हैं — जो कोई श्रद्धापूर्वक मुझे इसी रूपमें देखेगा, उसके सभी विघ्न निःसंदेह नष्ट हो जायेंगे; और जो मनुष्य इस चरित्रको सुनकर तथा हृदयमें इस लिंगका स्मरणकर संग्राममें प्रवेश करेगा, वह निःसंदेह विजय प्राप्त करेगा। इसी बीच इन्द्रसहित देवगण जयजयकार करते हुए महोत्सवपूर्वक वहाँ आते हैं और प्रेमपूर्वक अंजलि जोड़कर, सिर झुकाकर भक्तवत्सल शंकरकी स्तुति करते हैं — हे शंकर, देवेश, शरणागतोंकी पीड़ा हरनेवाले प्रभो, जय हो! इस दुन्दुभिनिर्ह्रादके वधसे हम देवता रक्षित हुए; हे भक्तवत्सल! भक्तोंकी सदा रक्षा कीजिये और दुष्टोंका वध कीजिये, आप ही सर्वेश्वर हैं। देवताओंका यह वचन सुनकर प्रसन्नचित्त परमेश्वर स्वीकृति देकर उसी लिंगमें लीन हो जाते हैं; तब विस्मित देवता आनन्दपूर्वक अपने-अपने धाम लौट जाते हैं और वे ब्राह्मण भी अत्यन्त हर्षके साथ जैसे आये थे वैसे ही लौट जाते हैं। सनत्कुमारजी अन्तमें कहते हैं कि व्याघ्रेश्वरकी इस उत्पत्तिकथाको जो सुनता, सुनाता, पढ़ता या पढ़ाता है, वह मनचाहे सभी काम प्राप्तकर परलोकमें सब दुःखोंसे रहित होकर मोक्ष पाता है; यह अनुपम आख्यान, शिवलीलारूपी अमृताक्षर, स्वर्ग, यश, आयु तथा पुत्र-पौत्रकी वृद्धि करनेवाला है — यह परम भक्तिप्रद, धन्य, शिवको प्रिय, मंगलकारी, परमज्ञानदायक, रमणीय और विकारोंका परम नाशक है।
