Sanatkumāra narrates: once, at play, Andhaka's intoxicated brothers taunted him, the blind son of Hiraṇyākṣa, asking what business a blind man had with kingship, and reminding him that their foolish father had obtained him, deformed and eyeless, by pleasing Girisha through terrible austerity, so that he alone -- not Andhaka -- was fit to share the kingdom. Wounded and despondent, Andhaka went by night to a lonely forest and for ten thousand years performed a fearsome austerity, standing on one foot without food, each day cutting flesh and blood from his own body and offering it, with mantras, into a fire, until he was reduced to a mere frame of sinew and bone and prepared to cast even that into the flames. The gods, astonished and afraid, hastened to propitiate Brahmā, who restrained him and bade him choose a boon. Andhaka asked that those who had seized his kingdom become his servants, that he receive a divine eye, that Indra and the gods become his tributaries, and that he meet death at the hands of none -- not gods, daityas, gandharvas, yakṣas, serpents, men, Nārāyaṇa, or all-pervading Śarva. Alarmed at so sweeping a request, Brahmā asked him to accept some seed of his own mortality, since none escapes death forever; hearing this, Andhaka asked instead that his destruction come about only should he ever desire a woman who was unattainable in body, speech, and mind, and who was to him ever like a mother. Brahmā, greatly astonished, sought Śaṅkara's sanction and granted this; Andhaka then asked to be restored in flesh so that he might fight, and Brahmā touched his ravaged body, healing it completely and restoring his sight, before departing to his own abode honoured by sages and siddhas. Made whole, Andhaka returned to his city, where Prahlāda and the other dānava lords, submissive, relinquished the kingdom to him; he then conquered heaven, made Indra himself a tributary, subdued nāgas, rākṣasas, gandharvas, yakṣas, men, and beasts, and brought the whole triple world under his sway. Given over to countless women of the netherworld, earth, and heaven, and to every divine luxury, Andhaka spent ten thousand years in dissipation, growing ever more arrogant, contemptuous of the Vedas, brāhmaṇas, and even the gods, and leading his own sons astray with sophistry while destroying Vedic dharma. Journeying at last with his army to Mount Mandara, he built a wondrous city upon its ridge and settled there; his ministers Duryodhana, Vaidhasa, and Hasti, wandering the mountain, came upon a great ascetic seated in a cave in meditation -- crowned with the half-moon, wreathed in serpents, ash-smeared, four-armed, armed with trident and bow, guarded by a fierce ape-faced attendant and an aged white bull -- and beside him a woman of incomparable, jewel-like beauty, clad in coral and gold. Certain that so rare a treasure belonged by right to their master, the enjoyer of fine jewels in all three worlds, the ministers hastened back and described all they had seen; consumed with desire, Andhaka at once sent them back to demand the woman. The ministers found the sage, declared themselves Andhaka's envoys, and imperiously demanded to know whose son he was, why he sat there in comfort with so fine a woman, mocking his ashes, skull-garland, weapons, matted hair, twilight rites, and his mismatched austerities and ornaments as unfit for a dignified man, and commanding him to surrender the woman without protest, lay down his weapons, and confine himself to pure austerity, or else be made to give up his body entirely, since Andhaka alone was lord of jewels in the three worlds. Recognizing Andhaka's wicked arrogance yet keeping to a worldly bearing, the ascetic -- who was in truth Śiva himself -- smilingly replied that he remembered no father or mother, practised the Pāśupata vow alone in the cave, and that the woman was inalienably his own wife, the very accomplishment of the all-pervading one, adding only, ironically, that Andhaka might take whatever pleased him; and then he fell silent. The ministers, sensing something profound in this quiet reply, bowed and returned to Andhaka; reporting his words with amusement, they mocked the ascetic's evident frailty and mismatch against Andhaka's might, yet warned, quoting his very words, that the sage -- who spoke of a monkey-faced attendant named Vīraka, and who deemed the three worlds mere straw -- had shown no fear, and that Andhaka would remember this warning later. Hearing their words, Andhaka, dull-witted and enraged like fire fed with clarified butter, found even this true and well-meant counsel crooked and bitter; and, sword in hand, intoxicated by his own boon, pierced by the arrows of desire and mimicking the fury of a storm, he readied himself, doomed by adverse fate, to go there himself.सनत्कुमारजी कहते हैं -- एक बार मदोन्मत्त भाइयों ने खेलते हुए अन्धे अन्धक से हंसी में कहा कि अंधे को राज्य से क्या प्रयोजन, और यह भी कि उनके मूर्ख पिता हिरण्याक्ष ने घोर तप से गिरीश को प्रसन्न करके उसे विकृत और नेत्रहीन ही पाया था, अतः राज्य के भागी वे ही हैं, अन्धक नहीं। दुखी होकर अन्धक रात में सूने वन में चला गया और दस हजार वर्षों तक एक पैर पर खड़े होकर, निराहार रहकर घोर तप किया, प्रतिदिन अपने शरीर से रक्त सहित मांस काटकर मंत्रों सहित अग्नि में होम करता रहा, यहां तक कि वह केवल स्नायु-हड्डी शेष रह गया और अपने शेष शरीर को भी अग्नि में डालने को उद्यत हुआ। देवता भयभीत और आश्चर्यचकित होकर ब्रह्माजी को प्रसन्न करने लगे; ब्रह्माजी ने उसे रोककर वर मांगने को कहा। अन्धक ने मांगा कि जिन्होंने उसका राज्य छीना वे उसके सेवक बनें, उसे दिव्य नेत्र मिले, इन्द्रादि देवता उसके करदाता बनें, और उसकी मृत्यु देव, दैत्य, गन्धर्व, यक्ष, सर्प, मनुष्य, नारायण अथवा सर्वव्यापी शर्व -- किसी से भी न हो। इतनी व्यापक याचना से आशंकित ब्रह्माजी ने कहा कि अपने विनाश का कोई कारण भी स्वीकार करे, क्योंकि मृत्यु से कोई नहीं बचता; तब अन्धक ने कहा कि उसका नाश केवल तभी हो जब वह ऐसी स्त्री की कामना करे जो काया-वाणी-मन से अगम्य हो और जो उसे सदा माता के समान हो। अत्यन्त विस्मित ब्रह्माजी ने शंकर की आज्ञा पाकर यह वर दिया; तब अन्धक ने युद्ध योग्य शरीर मांगा, और ब्रह्माजी ने उसके क्षत-विक्षत शरीर को स्पर्श कर पूर्ण स्वस्थ तथा नेत्रयुक्त कर दिया, फिर मुनियों-सिद्धों से सम्मानित होते हुए अपने धाम चले गए। स्वस्थ होकर अन्धक अपने नगर लौटा, जहां प्रह्लाद आदि दानवेन्द्रों ने राज्य उसे सौंप दिया; फिर उसने स्वर्ग जीता, इन्द्र को भी करदाता बनाया, नाग-राक्षस-गन्धर्व-यक्ष-मनुष्य-पशुओं को जीतकर सम्पूर्ण त्रिलोकी को वश में कर लिया। पाताल, पृथ्वी और स्वर्ग की असंख्य स्त्रियों तथा समस्त दिव्य भोगों में लीन होकर अन्धक ने दस हजार वर्ष विलासिता में बिताए, और अधिकाधिक अहंकारी होकर वेद, ब्राह्मण तथा देवताओं तक का अनादर करने लगा तथा कुतर्क से अपने पुत्रों को भी भटकाकर वैदिक धर्म का नाश करने लगा। अन्त में सेना सहित मन्दराचल पहुंचकर उसने वहां एक अद्भुत नगर बसाया; उसके मन्त्री दुर्योधन, वैधस और हस्ति ने पर्वत पर भ्रमण करते हुए एक गुफा में ध्यानस्थ महान् तपस्वी को देखा -- अर्धचन्द्र-मुकुटधारी, सर्पों से आवृत, भस्म-लिप्त, चतुर्भुज, त्रिशूल-धनुषधारी, एक वानरमुखी भयंकर रक्षक तथा वृद्ध श्वेत बैल से रक्षित -- और उनके पास मूंगे-सुवर्ण से अलंकृत अनुपम रत्न-सी सुन्दर स्त्री भी देखी। इस दुर्लभ रत्न को अपने स्वामी, त्रिलोकी के रत्नभोक्ता, के योग्य समझकर मन्त्रियों ने लौटकर सब वृत्तान्त सुनाया; कामातुर अन्धक ने तुरन्त उन्हें पुनः उस स्त्री की मांग के लिए भेजा। मन्त्रियों ने उस मुनि से पूछा कि वे किसके पुत्र हैं, इतनी सुन्दर स्त्री किसकी है, उनके भस्म, खोपड़ी-माला, शस्त्र, जटा, संध्या-वन्दन तथा असंगत वेष का उपहास करते हुए दैत्येन्द्र की आज्ञा सुनायी कि वे स्त्री को सौंप दें और शस्त्र त्यागकर केवल तप करें, अन्यथा शरीर त्यागना पड़ेगा, क्योंकि अन्धक ही तीनों लोकों के रत्नों का स्वामी है। अन्धक की दुष्ट बुद्धि जानकर भी लौकिक व्यवहार बनाए रखते हुए वह तपस्वी -- जो साक्षात् शिव ही थे -- मुस्कराते हुए बोले कि वे न किसी पिता को जानते हैं न माता को, गुफा में अकेले पाशुपत व्रत करते हैं, और वह स्त्री उनकी अपनी अविभाज्य भार्या है, सर्वव्यापी की सिद्धिस्वरूपा; अन्त में व्यंग्यपूर्वक कहा कि अन्धक जो चाहे ले ले, और मौन हो गए। इस गम्भीर उत्तर में कुछ गूढ़ भाव जानकर मन्त्रियों ने प्रणाम कर अन्धक के पास लौटकर हंसी में उस तपस्वी की दुर्बलता का उपहास किया, परन्तु साथ ही उसी के वचनों को दोहराते हुए यह चेतावनी भी दी कि जिस मुनि ने वानरमुखी वीरक नामक अपने गण की और तीनों लोकों को तिनके-समान समझने की बात कही थी, वह भयभीत नहीं था, और यह वचन अन्धक को आगे स्मरण रहेगा। यह सुनकर मन्दबुद्धि अन्धक घी से सिंची अग्नि के समान क्रोध से जल उठा; सत्य और हितकारी होते हुए भी वह वचन उसे कुटिल और तीखा लगा, और वरदान से मत्त, कामबाणों से विद्ध वह तलवार लेकर प्रचण्ड आंधी की भांति स्वयं वहां जाने को उद्यत हो गया -- उसका भाग्य विपरीत हो चुका था।
