Chapter Seven·The Gods' Hymn of Praise and Śiva's Command to Prepare for War·Verses 1–44
अथ सप्तमोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra continues the narrative: Hara graciously and lovingly accepts the plea of all the gods, gathered earlier, to fight Tripura. Just then the goddess Śivā arrives with her two sons; astonished, Viṣṇu and the other gods bow to her, unaware of the reason for her coming, and merely raise a cry of "Victory!" The Devī, filled with wonder, affectionately draws her lord's attention to their radiant son Ṣaṇmukha at play; utterly absorbed, Maheśvara embraces and delights in Skanda, oblivious for the moment to the anxious gods who had come seeking his help. After conferring briefly with her lord, the goddess rises, and Śambhu, together with Nandī, Ṣaṇmukha, and the daughter of the mountain-king, enters his own dwelling, honoured by all the assembled gods. Left standing helplessly beside the door, the gods fall into utter distress, not knowing what to do or where to turn, each blaming his own fate; when the mighty gaṇa Kumbhodara begins driving them off with his staff, they scatter in terror, and Indra and the other divine sages collapse to the ground in despair. Gathering around Brahmā and Viṣṇu, Śiva's friends, the sages headed by Kaśyapa lament this turn of fate, until Viṣṇu consoles them, explaining that the worship of the great is never easy and that sorrow precedes any true propitiation; he teaches them a mantra built from oṃ, namaḥ, śivāya, śubhaṃ śubhaṃ, and kuru kuru, and instructs them to recite it a full ten million times with resolve, promising that Śiva will then surely grant their wish. The gods duly renew their japa under Viṣṇu and Brahmā's own recitation, and Śiva at last appears in person, pleased by their devotion, and invites them to ask for a boon. Speaking as one voice, the gods beg him to destroy the cities of Tripura and to protect them as he always has. Amused, Śiva smilingly agrees, declaring the triple city as good as destroyed, and directs Viṣṇu and Brahmā — as the appointed guardians of creation and preservation — to furnish without delay the divine chariot, charioteer, bow, and arrow they had earlier promised him, and to equip him as befits a universal sovereign for the coming war. He then extols the greatness of the very mantra he has just received, describing it as supremely meritorious, granting both worldly enjoyment and final liberation, fulfilling every desire of whoever recites, hears, or causes it to be heard with a pure heart. Rejoicing at Śiva's words — Hari and Brahmā more than any — the gods are overjoyed, and at their command Viśvakarmā at once sets about fashioning a resplendent, divine chariot composed of all the gods, for the sake of the whole universe.सनत्कुमारजी आगेकी कथा सुनाते हैं — सब देवताओंकी प्रार्थना सुनकर भक्तवत्सल हर उसे बड़े प्रेमसे स्वीकार कर लेते हैं। इसी बीच देवी पार्वती अपने दोनों पुत्रोंके साथ वहाँ पहुँचती हैं; उन्हें देखकर विष्णु आदि सभी देवता आश्चर्यचकित होकर प्रणाम करते हैं और 'जय' कहते हैं, किन्तु उनके आगमनका कारण नहीं जान पाते। देवी अद्भुत कुतूहलसे भरी हुई अपने स्वामीको उनके खेलते हुए तेजस्वी पुत्र षण्मुखको दिखलाती हैं; शिवजी स्कन्दके मस्तकका आलिंगन तथा अवघ्राण करते हुए इतने मग्न हो जाते हैं कि सहायताकी आशामें आये हुए व्याकुल देवताओंकी उन्हें कुछ देरके लिये सुधि ही नहीं रहती। स्वामीसे कुछ मन्त्रणा करके देवी उठ खड़ी होती हैं, और शम्भु नन्दी, षण्मुख तथा गिरिराजपुत्रीके साथ, समस्त देवताओंसे वन्दित होते हुए अपने भवनमें प्रवेश करते हैं। द्वारपर खड़े रह गये देवता व्याकुल तथा दुःखी होकर यह न समझ पाते हैं कि क्या करें, कहाँ जायें; अपने-अपने भाग्यको कोसते हैं। तभी महातेजस्वी गण कुम्भोदर उन्हें दण्डसे मारने लगता है, जिससे भयभीत होकर वे भाग खड़े होते हैं, और इन्द्र आदि देवर्षि व्याकुल होकर भूमिपर गिर पड़ते हैं। शिवके मित्र ब्रह्मा तथा विष्णुके पास एकत्रित होकर कश्यपादि मुनि अपने दुर्भाग्यका विलाप करते हैं, तब विष्णु उन्हें सान्त्वना देते हुए समझाते हैं कि महानोंकी आराधना सरल नहीं होती और उसमें पहले कष्ट सहना पड़ता है; वे उन्हें 'ॐ नमः शिवाय शुभं शुभं कुरु कुरु शिवाय नमः' — यह मन्त्र सिखाते हैं और एक करोड़ बार दृढ़तापूर्वक जपनेको कहते हैं, यह आश्वासन देते हुए कि इससे शिवजी अवश्य प्रसन्न होंगे। देवता विष्णु तथा ब्रह्माके साथ पुनः जप आरम्भ करते हैं, और अन्ततः स्वयं शिवजी साक्षात् प्रकट होकर उनकी भक्तिसे प्रसन्न होकर वर माँगनेको कहते हैं। सब देवता एक स्वरमें त्रिपुरका वध करनेकी तथा सदाकी भाँति उनकी रक्षा करनेकी प्रार्थना करते हैं। मुस्कराते हुए शिवजी त्रिपुरको नष्ट हुआ मानकर सहमत हो जाते हैं और विष्णु-ब्रह्माको — सृष्टि तथा पालनके अधिकारी होनेके नाते — पूर्वप्रतिज्ञात दिव्य रथ, सारथी, धनुष तथा बाण शीघ्र उपस्थित करने तथा सम्राटोचित सामग्री जुटानेकी आज्ञा देते हैं। इसके बाद वे उसी मन्त्रकी महिमाका वर्णन करते हैं, जो अत्यन्त पुण्यदायक, भोग-मोक्षप्रद तथा समस्त कामनाओंको पूर्ण करनेवाला बताया जाता है, और जो भी शुद्ध होकर इसका जप, श्रवण अथवा श्रवण-वाचन करता है, उसे सभी अभीष्ट फल प्राप्त होते हैं। शिवजीके इस वचनको सुनकर सभी देवता — विशेषकर विष्णु तथा ब्रह्मा — अत्यधिक प्रसन्न होते हैं, और उनकी आज्ञासे विश्वकर्मा संसारके कल्याणार्थ एक अत्यन्त सुन्दर सर्वदेवमय दिव्य रथका निर्माण करने लगते हैं।
