श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — युद्धखण्डअथ त्रयोदशोऽध्यायः
Vyāsa tells Sanatkumāra that he had earlier heard only in brief that Lord Śaṅkara slew the great demon Jālandhara, and asks him now to relate that story in full detail — for who could ever be satisfied merely hearing of Śiva's spotless fame? Sūta reports that, thus questioned by Vyāsa, the eloquent Sanatkumāra began to speak. Sanatkumāra opens the new tale: once, Bṛhaspati (the guru of the gods, called Jīva) and Indra (Śakra), moved by supreme devotion, set out eagerly for Kailāsa to have Śaṅkara's darśana. Learning of their coming, Śaṅkara, wishing to test the knowledge of these two whose hearts were set on seeing him, took the form of a naked ascetic (digambara) with matted locks and a radiant face, and stood blocking their path. As the guru and Śakra journeyed on joyfully, they beheld in the middle of the road this fearsome, wondrous figure — immensely radiant, calm, matted-locked, mighty-armed, broad-chested, fair, with fierce eyes. Indra, intoxicated with pride in his own sovereignty, failing to recognize that this person standing in his path was Śaṅkara himself, questioned him: who he was, whence he had come, what his name truly was, and whether Śambhu was in his own abode or had gone elsewhere. Asked thus, the silent ascetic said nothing; asked again by Śakra, the digambara again said nothing; asked a third time by the lord of the worlds, the great yogī, wearing his form in sport, remained silent still — the lord saying nothing at all, precisely in order to test Śakra's discernment. Then the lord of the gods, swollen with pride in his dominion over the three worlds, grew furious and, rebuking the matted-locked figure, threatened to slay him with the vajra, since he had given no answer. So saying, the wielder of the vajra glared at him in anger and raised the vajra to strike; but seeing Purandara with the vajra in hand, the god Sadāśiva himself brought that vajra-stroke to a standstill, freezing it in mid-air. Rudra, overcome with fury, his eyes terrible, blazed at once with his own radiance as though he would consume everything; and Indra, his arm held frozen by that same power, burned inwardly with wrath, like a serpent whose strength is checked and bound by a mantra. Seeing that being blazing swiftly with his own radiance, and recognizing him with his intellect to be none other than Hara, Bṛhaspati bowed down; folding his hands and prostrating flat upon the ground, the noble-minded guru began to praise the lord. In his hymn, Bṛhaspati salutes Śiva under many names and aspects — as god of gods, great god, the self, Maheśvara, three-eyed, matted-locked; as lord of the humble, slayer of Andhaka, destroyer of Tripura, Śarva, Brahman, the one seated at the summit; as of crooked eye, Rudra, of many forms, Śambhu, formless and yet possessing supreme form, beyond form; as destroyer and yet bestower of the fruits of sacrifice, embodiment of the sacrifice itself; as ender of time, time itself, bearer of the serpent of time, present everywhere; as slayer of Brahmā's head, praised by the moon born of Brahmā, friend of brahmins, the supreme self; declaring him to be fire, wind, sky, water, earth, sun, moon, stars, and the very wheel of light; to be Viṣṇu, Brahmā, the sages headed by Sanaka, Nārada; the lord and soul of all the worlds, connected with all yet distinct from all, beyond material nature; the one who through rajas creates the worlds as Brahmā, who through sattva as Hari sustains the whole world, and who through tamas as Hara withdraws in play the entire fivefold-elemental universe; declaring that by the power of meditating on him the sun burns, nectar flows in the world, the moon shines, the wind blows, the clouds pour rain, and Indra himself protects the three worlds as though they were his own child; that the clouds, all the gods, and the lords of sages, in fear of him, carry out their own offices only through the power of meditating on him; and that through service of his lotus feet, men on this earth cease to honour other gods and enjoy the lordship of the worlds, attaining even that supreme and most difficult state unreachable by those rich in yoga. Having thus praised world-benefiting Śaṅkara, Bṛhaspati made Purandara fall at the lord's feet; and, with Indra's head bowed low before Śiva, the guru, bowing in humility, spoke to him — begging Mahādeva, the lord of the helpless, to lift up the Indra who lay prostrate at his feet and to calm the wrath born in his eye, to be satisfied and protect the refuge-seeking Indra, and to let the fire that had arisen from his forehead-eye subside. Hearing the guru's words, Maheśvara, an ocean of compassion, replied in a voice deep as thunderclouds: that he was restraining the anger that had issued from his eye, but asked how a serpent could ever take back the slough it has once cast off. Hearing this, Bṛhaspati, his form distressed and his mind troubled with fear, pleaded again: that a god should always show compassion to his devotees, and that Śaṅkara should make true his very name of "one who is affectionate to his devotees" by casting his fierce radiance elsewhere and delivering Purandara, as the deliverer of all devotees that he is. Thus entreated by the guru, Rudra, who indeed bears the name "affectionate to devotees," pleased in spirit, replied to Bṛhaspati, the remover of the suffering of those who bow to him: pleased by this praise, he granted an excellent boon — that by this very gift of life to Indra, Bṛhaspati himself should henceforth go by the fame of "Jīva" ("the life-giver" or "the living one"); and that the fire which had arisen from his forehead-eye, the slayer of the lord of the gods, he would now cast far away so that it would never again afflict Indra. So saying, Śaṅkara took that wondrous fire of his own radiance, born from his forehead-eye, into his hand and cast it into the salt ocean. Then Rudra, the great and playful lord, vanished from sight; and the guru and Śakra, freed from their fear, departed in the greatest happiness. Having thus obtained the very darśana of Śiva for whose sake they had set out, the guru and Śakra, their purpose fulfilled, joyfully returned to their own abode — and with this episode the great sub-narrative of the destruction of the demon Jālandhara has now begun. व्यासजी सनत्कुमारजीसे कहते हैं कि उन्होंने पहले केवल संक्षेपमें यह सुना था कि प्रभु शंकरने महादैत्य जलन्धरका वध किया था, अतः वे अब उस चरित्रको विस्तारपूर्वक सुनना चाहते हैं — क्योंकि शिवजीके निर्मल यशको सुनकर भला कौन तृप्त हो सकता है? सूतजी कहते हैं कि व्यासजीके इस प्रकार पूछनेपर वाक्यविशारद महामुनि सनत्कुमारजी शान्तिपूर्वक अर्थयुक्त वचन कहने लगे। सनत्कुमारजी नयी कथाका आरम्भ करते हैं — एक बार देवगुरु बृहस्पति (जिन्हें "जीव" भी कहा जाता है) तथा इन्द्र परम भक्तिसे युक्त होकर शंकरजीके दर्शनके लिये कैलासकी ओर चल पड़े। उनके आगमनको जानकर, अपने दर्शनमें तत्पर उन दोनोंके ज्ञानकी परीक्षा लेनेकी इच्छासे शंकरजीने जटाजूटधारी, प्रसन्नमुख दिगम्बरका रूप धारण करके उनका मार्ग रोक लिया। आनन्दपूर्वक जाते हुए गुरु और इन्द्रने मार्गके बीचमें उस भयंकर, अद्भुत आकृतिवाले, महातेजस्वी, शान्त, जटाजूटधारी, विशालभुज, विशालवक्ष, गौरवर्ण तथा भयानक नेत्रोंवाले पुरुषको देखा। अपने अधिकारसे उन्मत्त इन्द्रने उस मार्गमें खड़े पुरुषको शंकरजी न पहचानकर पूछा कि तुम कौन हो, कहाँसे आये हो, तुम्हारा वास्तविक नाम क्या है, और क्या शम्भु अपने ही स्थानपर हैं अथवा कहीं अन्यत्र गये हैं। इस प्रकार पूछे जानेपर वह तपस्वी कुछ न बोला; इन्द्रके पुनः पूछनेपर भी वह दिगम्बर मौन रहा; लोकोंके अधिपति इन्द्रके तीसरी बार पूछनेपर भी वह लीलारूपधारी महायोगी प्रभु मौन ही रहे — भगवान् इस प्रकार बार-बार पूछे जानेपर भी इन्द्रके ज्ञानकी परीक्षा लेनेके लिये ही कुछ नहीं बोले। तब त्रैलोक्यके ऐश्वर्यसे गर्वित देवराज इन्द्रको अत्यन्त क्रोध आया और उन्होंने उस जटाधारीको भर्त्सना करते हुए कहा कि चूँकि उसने उत्तर नहीं दिया, अतः वे उसे वज्रसे मार डालेंगे। ऐसा कहकर वज्रधारी इन्द्रने क्रोधसे उस दिगम्बरकी ओर देखकर उसे मारनेके लिये वज्र उठा लिया; किन्तु वज्रहस्त पुरन्दरको देखकर स्वयं सदाशिव भगवान्ने उस वज्रके गिरनेको ही स्तम्भित कर दिया। इससे क्रोधसे व्याप्त, भयंकर नेत्रोंवाले रुद्र अपने तेजसे शीघ्र ही प्रज्वलित हो उठे, मानो सबको जला डालेंगे; और उसी शक्तिसे भुजा स्तम्भित हो जानेसे इन्द्र भी मन-ही-मन इस प्रकार जलने लगे, जैसे मन्त्रसे पराक्रम रुद्ध हुआ सर्प जलता है। अपने तेजसे शीघ्र प्रज्वलित होते हुए उस पुरुषको देखकर तथा बुद्धिसे उन्हें साक्षात् हर जानकर बृहस्पतिने प्रणाम किया; हाथ जोड़कर तथा पृथ्वीपर दण्डवत् प्रणाम करके उदारबुद्धि गुरु प्रभुकी स्तुति करने लगे। गुरुकी इस स्तुतिमें शिवजीको देवाधिदेव, महादेव, आत्मस्वरूप, महेश्वर, त्रिनेत्र, जटाजूटधारी; दीनोंके नाथ, अन्धकासुरका वध करनेवाले, त्रिपुरघ्न, शर्व, ब्रह्मस्वरूप, परमेष्ठी; विरूपाक्ष, रुद्र, बहुरूप, शम्भु, विरूप होते हुए भी अतिरूप एवं रूपसे परे; यज्ञका विध्वंस करनेवाले तथा साथ ही यज्ञोंका फल देनेवाले, यज्ञस्वरूप; कालका अन्त करनेवाले, कालस्वरूप, कालरूप सर्पको धारण करनेवाले, सर्वव्यापी; ब्रह्माके सिरको काटनेवाले, ब्रह्माके पुत्र चन्द्रमासे स्तुत, ब्रह्मण्य, परमात्मा — इन सभी नामोंसे नमस्कार किया गया है; तथा उन्हें अग्नि, वायु, आकाश, जल, पृथ्वी, सूर्य, चन्द्रमा, नक्षत्र एवं ज्योतिश्चक्र-स्वरूप, विष्णु, ब्रह्मा, सनकादि मुनि तथा नारद-स्वरूप, समस्त लोकोंके ईश्वर एवं जगदात्मा, सबसे सम्बद्ध होते हुए भी सबसे भिन्न तथा प्रकृतिसे परे कहा गया है; रजोगुणसे ब्रह्मारूप होकर सृष्टि करनेवाले, सत्त्वगुणसे विष्णुरूप होकर सम्पूर्ण जगत्का पालन करनेवाले तथा तमोगुणसे हररूप होकर लीलापूर्वक सम्पूर्ण पांचभौतिक जगत्का संहार करनेवाले बताया गया है; और यह भी कि उन्हींके ध्यानबलसे सूर्य तपता है, लोकमें अमृत बरसता है, चन्द्रमा प्रकाशित होता है, वायु बहती है, मेघ जलकी वृष्टि करते हैं, तथा इन्द्र स्वयं पुत्रके समान त्रिलोकीकी रक्षा करते हैं; उन्हींके भयसे मेघ, समस्त देवता तथा मुनीश्वर अपने-अपने अधिकारका पालन करते हैं; तथा उन्हींके चरणकमलोंकी सेवासे मनुष्य इस पृथ्वीपर अन्य देवताओंकी उपासना छोड़कर लोकैश्वर्यका भोग करते हैं और योगियोंके लिये भी अगम्य तथा अत्यन्त दुर्लभ परम गतिको प्राप्त होते हैं। इस प्रकार लोककल्याणकारी शंकरजीकी स्तुति करके बृहस्पतिने पुरन्दरको उन ईश्वरके चरणोंमें गिरा दिया; और सिर झुकाये हुए इन्द्रको शिवजीके चरणोंमें डालकर विनम्र गुरुने कहा — हे दीनानाथ महादेव! अपने चरणोंमें पड़े हुए इन्द्रका उद्धार कीजिये और नेत्रसे उत्पन्न अपने शान्त क्रोधको शान्त कीजिये; हे महादेव! प्रसन्न होइये और शरणागत इन्द्रकी रक्षा कीजिये, आपके भालनेत्रसे उत्पन्न यह अग्नि शान्त हो जाय। गुरुके इस वचनको सुनकर करुणासिन्धु देवदेव महेश्वरने मेघके समान गम्भीर वाणीमें उत्तर दिया कि हे बृहस्पते! मैं अपने नेत्रसे निकले हुए क्रोधको धारण कर रहा हूँ, परन्तु सर्प अपनी छोड़ी हुई केंचुलको पुनः कैसे धारण करे? यह सुनकर क्लेशयुक्त तथा भयसे व्याकुलचित्त बृहस्पतिने पुनः कहा कि हे देव! हे भगवन्! भक्तोंपर सदा दया करनी चाहिये; हे शंकर! अपने "भक्तवत्सल" नामको सत्य कीजिये, अपने इस अत्यन्त उग्र तेजको अन्यत्र फेंक दीजिये, और हे सर्वभक्तोंके उद्धारकर्ता! पुरन्दरका उद्धार कीजिये। गुरुके इस निवेदनपर भक्तवत्सल-नामधारी तथा भक्तोंकी पीड़ा हरनेवाले प्रसन्नचित्त रुद्रने देवपूज्य बृहस्पतिसे कहा — हे तात! इस स्तुतिसे प्रसन्न होकर मैं उत्तम वर देता हूँ : इन्द्रको यह जीवनदान देनेके कारण तुम "जीव" इस नामसे प्रसिद्ध होओ; तथा मेरे भालनेत्रसे उत्पन्न देवेश्वर-नाशक जो यह अग्नि है, इसे मैं दूर फेंक देता हूँ, जिससे यह इन्द्रको कभी पीड़ा न पहुँचाये। ऐसा कहकर शंकरजीने अपने भालनेत्रसे उत्पन्न अपने उस अद्भुत तेजरूप अग्निको हाथमें लेकर क्षारसमुद्रमें फेंक दिया। तत्पश्चात् महालीलाधारी प्रभु रुद्र अन्तर्धान हो गये, और गुरु तथा इन्द्र भयसे मुक्त होकर परम सुखपूर्वक चले गये। जिस दर्शनके लिये वे गये थे, उसे प्राप्त कर कृतार्थ हुए गुरु और इन्द्र प्रसन्नतापूर्वक अपने-अपने स्थानको लौट गये — और इसी प्रसंगके साथ महादैत्य जलन्धरके वधकी महान् उपाख्यान-कथाका शुभारम्भ हो जाता है।
१ भो ब्रह्मन्भगवन्पूर्वं श्रुतं मे ब्रह्मपुत्रक । जलन्धरं महादैत्यमवधीच्छङ्करः प्रभुः ॥ १
bho brahmanbhagavanpūrvaṃ śrutaṃ me brahmaputraka | jalandharaṃ mahādaityamavadhīcchaṅkaraḥ prabhuḥ 1 ||
व्यासजी बोले — हे ब्रह्मन्! हे भगवन्! हे ब्रह्मपुत्रक! मैंने पहले केवल इतना सुना था कि प्रभु शंकरने महादैत्य जलन्धरका वध किया था।
[Vyāsa said:] "O Brahmā's son, O lord, O son of Brahmā — I had earlier heard only that the lord Śaṅkara slew the great demon Jālandhara."
भो ब्रह्मन्भगवन्पूर्वं (bho brahmanbhagavanpūrvaṃ) — "O Brahmā's son, O lord, previouslyश्रुतं मे ब्रह्मपुत्रक (śrutaṃ me brahmaputraka) — it was heard by me, O son of Brahmā,जलन्धरं महादैत्यम् (jalandharaṃ mahādaityam) — that the great demon Jālandharaअवधीच्छङ्करः प्रभुः (avadhīcchaṅkaraḥ prabhuḥ) — was slain by the lord Śaṅkara"

"हे महाप्राज्ञ! उस शशिमौलि (चन्द्रशेखर) शिवजीके चरित्रको मुझे विस्तारपूर्वक बताइये; उनके निर्मल यशको विस्तारसे सुनकर भला कौन तृप्त हो सकता है?"
"Relate it to me in full, O greatly wise one — the story of the moon-crested lord — for even hearing it told at length, who could ever be satisfied with his spotless fame?"
तत्त्वं वद महाप्राज्ञ (tattvaṃ vada mahāprājña) — "relate that, O greatly wise one,चरितं शशिमौलिनः (caritaṃ śaśimaulinaḥ) — the story of him who wears the moon on his crest,विस्तारपूर्वकं शृण्वन् (vistārapūrvakaṃ śṛṇvan) — and hearing it told at length,कस्तृप्येत्तद्यशोऽमलम् (kastṛpyettadyaśo'malam) — who could ever be satisfied with his stainless fame?"

सूतजी बोले — व्यासजीके इस प्रकार पूछनेपर ब्रह्माजीके पुत्र महामुनि, वाक्यविशारद सनत्कुमारजीने शान्तिपूर्वक अर्थयुक्त वचन कहा।
[Sūta said:] Thus questioned by Vyāsa, the great sage, Brahmā's son, skilled in speech, spoke a calm and meaningful word.
इत्येवं व्याससम्पृष्टो (ityevaṃ vyāsasampṛṣṭo) — "thus questioned by Vyāsa,ब्रह्मपुत्रो महामुनिः (brahmaputro mahāmuniḥ) — the great sage, son of Brahmā,उवाचार्थवदव्यग्रं (uvācārthavadavyagraṃ) — spoke a meaningful, unagitatedवाक्यं वाक्यविशारदः (vākyaṃ vākyaviśāradaḥ) — word, being skilled in speech"

सनत्कुमारजी बोले — हे मुने! एक बार जीव (बृहस्पति) तथा शक्र (इन्द्र) परम भक्तिसे युक्त होकर प्रभुका दर्शन करनेके लिये अत्यन्त उत्सुकतापूर्वक कैलासको गये।
[Sanatkumāra said:] "Once, O sage, Jīva [Bṛhaspati] and Śakra [Indra], moved by supreme devotion, eagerly set out for Kailāsa to have the lord's darśana."
Noteजीव here is an epithet of Bṛhaspati, the preceptor of the gods (confirmed by verse 5's "गुर्विन्द्रयोः", "of the guru and Indra"). It is not a separate, unnamed figure.
एकदा जीवशक्रौ च (ekadā jīvaśakrau ca) — "once, Jīva [Bṛhaspati] and Śakra [Indra],भक्त्या परमया मुने (bhaktyā paramayā mune) — with supreme devotion, O sage,दर्शनं कर्तुमीशस्य (darśanaṃ kartumīśasya) — in order to have darśana of the lord,कैलासं जग्मतुर्भृशम् (kailāsaṃ jagmaturbhṛśam) — eagerly set out for Kailāsa"

"— सज्जनोंको सद्गति देनेवाले प्रभु स्वयं दिगम्बर होकर, उनका मार्ग रोककर, सिरपर जटाजूट बाँधे हुए प्रसन्न मुखसे खड़े हो गये।"
"— he who is himself the true goal of the virtuous took the form of a naked ascetic, blocking their path, and stood there with matted locks bound at his head and a radiant face."
दिगम्बरोऽथ तन्मार्गम् (digambaro'tha tanmārgam) — "— becoming a naked ascetic, blocking their path,आरुद्ध्य सद्गतिः सताम् (āruddhya sadgatiḥ satām) — he who is the good goal of the virtuous,जटाबद्धेन शिरसा (jaṭābaddhena śirasā) — with his head bound in matted locks,अतिष्ठत्संशोभिताननः (atiṣṭhatsaṃśobhitānanaḥ) — stood with a radiant face"

"— immensely radiant, calm, his matted locks bound at his head, mighty-armed, broad-chested, fair, with fearsome eyes."
NoteThe verse-number "६" is repeated here (a duplicate of verse 6's number) rather than printing "८"; this is treated as a numbering slip, and this verse is numbered 8 in sequence, consistent with the chapter's final verse count of 52 and the subsequent verse numbers 9 onward. The Sanskrit wording itself is not in doubt.
महातेजस्विनं शान्तं (mahātejasvinaṃ śāntaṃ) — "— immensely radiant, calm,जटासम्बद्धमस्तकम् (jaṭāsambaddhamastakam) — with matted locks bound at the head,महाबाहुं महोरस्कं (mahābāhuṃ mahoraskaṃ) — mighty-armed, broad-chested,गौरं नयनभीषणम् (gauraṃ nayanabhīṣaṇam) — fair-complexioned, with fearsome eyes"

पुरन्दर बोले — तुम कौन हो? कहाँसे आये हो? सत्य-सत्य अपना नाम बताओ। क्या शम्भु अपने ही स्थानपर स्थित हैं, अथवा प्रभु कहीं अन्यत्र गये हैं?
[Purandara said:] "Who are you, sir? Whence have you come? Tell me truly what your name is. Is Śambhu abiding in his own place, or has the lord gone elsewhere?"
कस्त्वं भोः कुत आयातः (kastvaṃ bhoḥ kuta āyātaḥ) — "who are you, sir?

सनत्कुमारजी बोले — इन्द्रके इस प्रकार पूछनेपर वह तपस्वी कुछ न बोला। इन्द्रने पुनः पूछा, फिर भी वह दिगम्बर कुछ न बोला।
[Sanatkumāra said:] Thus questioned by Śakra, that ascetic said nothing at all; Śakra asked again, but the digambara still said nothing.
शक्रेणेत्थं स पृष्टस्तु (śakreṇetthaṃ sa pṛṣṭastu) — "thus questioned by Śakra,किञ्चिन्नोवाच तापसः (kiñcinnovāca tāpasaḥ) — that ascetic said nothing at all;शक्रः पुनरपृच्छद्वै (śakraḥ punarapṛcchadvai) — Śakra asked again indeed,नोवाच स दिगम्बरः (novāca sa digambaraḥ) — but that digambara said nothing"

"लोकोंके अधिपति इन्द्रने पुनः पूछा, किन्तु लीलारूपधारी महायोगी प्रभु मौन ही रहे।"
"Again Purandara, the sovereign lord of the worlds, asked; the great yogī, the lord who bore this form in sport, remained silent."
पुनः पुरन्दरोऽपृच्छत् (punaḥ purandaro'pṛcchat) — "again Purandara asked,लोकानामधिपेश्वरः (lokānāmadhipeśvaraḥ) — the sovereign lord of the worlds;तूष्णीमास महायोगी (tūṣṇīmāsa mahāyogī) — the great yogī remained silent,लीलारूपधरः प्रभुः (līlārūpadharaḥ prabhuḥ) — the lord who bears this form in sport"

"इस प्रकार इन्द्रके द्वारा बार-बार पूछे जानेपर भी वह दिगम्बर भगवान् इन्द्रके ज्ञानकी परीक्षा लेनेके लिये ही कुछ नहीं बोले।"
"Thus asked again and again by Śakra, that digambara, the lord, said nothing at all — precisely to test Śakra's discernment."
इत्थं पुनः पुनः पृष्टः (itthaṃ punaḥ punaḥ pṛṣṭaḥ) — "thus asked again and againशक्रेण स दिगम्बरः (śakreṇa sa digambaraḥ) — by Śakra, that digambara,नोवाच किञ्चिद्भगवान् (novāca kiñcidbhagavān) — the lord, said nothing at all,शक्रज्ञानपरीक्षया (śakrajñānaparīkṣayā) — for the sake of testing Śakra's discernment"
