श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — युद्धखण्डअथ द्विपञ्चाशत्तमोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra tells Vyāsa another story of Śiva's tenderness toward his devotees. The daitya Bāṇa, son of Bali, pleases Śiva with the tāṇḍava dance, then boasts before him: with his thousand arms he has made even Yama, Agni, Varuṇa, Kubera and Indra his servants, and he now longs for a war worthy of his strength, so that his arms might fall in battle or fell thousands. Angered by this arrogance from one who calls himself a devotee, Rudra laughs and rebukes him, declaring that a war shall soon come to humble his pride, in which his mountain-like arms shall be hewn away — and tells him that the day his own banner, bearing a human head and a peacock, falls in its armoury without wind is the sign that this dreadful war has arrived; Śiva bids him go, with his whole army, to Śiva's own abode, where he shall witness his own downfall, and then falls silent, his heart still tender toward the devotee whose pride he has just broken. Bāṇa returns home, recounts all this to his minister Kumbhāṇḍa, and waits eagerly for the omen; one day he indeed finds his banner broken, and delighted, marches out to war with his army, having performed the rites and observed the omens of battle, wondering in his heart what warrior could ever be equal to cutting down his thousand arms. Meanwhile the appointed time arrives for Bāṇa's daughter Ūṣā: having worshipped Mādhava one night in the month of Mādhava, sleeping within her guarded chambers she comes of age, and, though sent for by Pārvatī, is in a vision drawn by divine illusion into union with Kṛṣṇa's grandson, who is likewise carried back to Dvārakā in an instant by Pārvatī's attendants; distraught and bruised on waking, she resolves to end her life, until her friend Citralekhā, daughter of the minister Kumbhāṇḍa, reminds her of what happened and calms her. Ūṣā tells Citralekhā of the man ordained for her by Pārvatī and begs to know his identity; Citralekhā, unable to recognize him from Ūṣā's account alone, paints on a cloth the gods, daityas, dānavas and other beings, and among mortals the Vṛṣṇis — Ānakadundubhi, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa and Pradyumna — until, seeing Aniruddha, son of Pradyumna, painted there, Ūṣā's bashful joy reveals him as the one who came to her by night and stole her heart. At Ūṣā's desperate plea, Citralekhā devises a plan: by her yogic power she flies to Dvārakā in an instant, finds Aniruddha at play with women in the palace garden, shrouds him and his couch in a veil of magical darkness, and carries the couch on her head back to Śoṇitapura in a moment, delivering the frightened, love-struck Aniruddha to Ūṣā. But as the new union begins, the guards posted at the doors of the inner apartments perceive from signs what has happened and discover the youthful, bold stranger; astonished, they report the matter to Bāṇa himself, who, hearing of this violation of his daughter, is left in utter astonishment. सनत्कुमारजी व्यासजीको भक्तवत्सल शिवजीका एक और चरित्र सुनाते हैं। बलिपुत्र बाणासुर ताण्डवनृत्य करके शिवजीको प्रसन्न करता है, फिर अपनी सहस्रभुजाओंका अभिमान प्रकट करते हुए कहता है कि उसने यम, अग्नि, वरुण, कुबेर तथा इन्द्र आदि सभी देवताओंको अपना सेवक बना लिया है, और अब उसे ऐसे युद्धकी आवश्यकता है जिसमें उसकी भुजाएँ या तो शत्रुके हाथसे कट जायँ या हजारोंको गिरा दें। अपनेको भक्त कहनेवालेके इस अहंकारसे क्रुद्ध होकर रुद्र अट्टहास करते हुए उसे धिक्कारते हैं और बताते हैं कि शीघ्र ही एक महायुद्ध होगा जिसमें उसका यह दर्प चूर होगा तथा उसकी पर्वतके समान भुजाएँ कट जायँगी; वे यह भी बताते हैं कि जब उसकी मानवशिर और मोरसहित ध्वजा आयुधशालामें बिना वायुके गिर पड़े, तभी समझना कि वह भयंकर युद्धका समय आ गया है, और उसे अपनी सम्पूर्ण सेनासहित शिवजीके ही धाम जानेको कहते हैं, जहाँ वह अपना विनाश देखेगा — इतना कहकर, भक्तका गर्व हर लेनेके बाद भी भक्तवत्सल शिवजी मौन हो जाते हैं। बाण घर लौटकर मन्त्री कुम्भाण्डको सब वृत्तान्त सुनाता है और उत्सुकतापूर्वक उस शकुनकी प्रतीक्षा करता है; एक दिन ध्वजाको टूटा देखकर वह हर्षित होकर सेनासहित युद्ध-विधि सम्पन्नकर तथा शुभ शकुन देखकर प्रस्थान करता है, मनमें यह सोचता हुआ कि कौन योद्धा उसकी सहस्रभुजाओंको काट सकेगा। इसी बीच शंकरजीके निश्चित समयानुसार बाणकी पुत्री ऊषा माधवमासकी एक रात्रिमें माधवका पूजनकर गुप्त अन्तःपुरमें सोते हुए स्त्रीभावको प्राप्त होती है, और गौरीके भेजनेपर भी दिव्य मायासे कृष्णके पौत्र अनिरुद्धके साथ स्वप्नमें ही संयुक्त हो जाती है, जिन्हें पार्वतीकी सखियाँ तुरन्त द्वारका वापस पहुँचा देती हैं; जगनेपर व्याकुल और मर्दित ऊषा प्राणत्यागका निश्चय कर लेती है, किन्तु उसकी सखी मन्त्रीपुत्री चित्रलेखा उसे पूर्ववृत्तान्तका स्मरण कराकर शान्त करती है। ऊषा चित्रलेखाको बताती है कि यह वही पुरुष है जिसे पार्वतीजीने पूर्वकालमें उसके लिये निश्चित किया था, और उसकी पहचान जाननेका आग्रह करती है; पहचान न पाकर चित्रलेखा एक वस्त्रपर देवता, दैत्य, दानव आदिके साथ मनुष्योंमें वृष्णिवंशी — आनकदुन्दुभि, राम, कृष्ण तथा प्रद्युम्न — को भी चित्रित करती है, और प्रद्युम्नपुत्र अनिरुद्धका चित्र देखते ही ऊषाकी लज्जा और हर्षसे उसकी पहचान हो जाती है। ऊषाकी विकलताभरी प्रार्थनापर चित्रलेखा एक उपाय रचती है — अपनी योगशक्तिसे क्षणभरमें द्वारका पहुँचकर उद्यानमें क्रीड़ारत अनिरुद्धको पाती है, उसे तथा उसकी शय्याको मायाके अन्धकारसे ढककर सिरपर उठाये क्षणमात्रमें शोणितपुर ले आती है और भयभीत, प्रेमातुर अनिरुद्धको ऊषासे मिला देती है। किन्तु नवीन समागम आरम्भ होते ही अन्तःपुरके द्वारपाल संकेतोंसे सब जान जाते हैं और उस तरुण साहसी पुरुषको देख लेते हैं; विस्मित होकर वे सारा वृत्तान्त बाणसे कह सुनाते हैं, और अपनी पुत्रीके इस प्रकार दूषित होनेकी बात सुनकर बाण भी अत्यन्त विस्मित हो जाता है।
