Chapter 34·Description of Śaṅkhacūḍa's Departure for Battle·Verses 1–25
अथ चतुस्त्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Vyāsa blesses Sanatkumāra and asks what the mighty Śaṅkhacūḍa did after Śiva's messenger departed. Sanatkumāra relates that Śaṅkhacūḍa went within to his wife Tulasī and told her that, summoned by Śambhu's messenger, he was resolved to go to war, and asked her leave; disregarding the warning, he then spent the night in joyful love-play with her. Rising before dawn, performing his morning rites, and giving lavish gifts, he made his son king over all the dānavas and entrusted to that son his queen and his entire kingdom with its wealth. He consoled his weeping wife, who tried to dissuade him from going, and then, armed for war, summoned and instructed his commander-in-chief, ordering the daityas and dānavas, the Kaṅkas, fifty clans of mighty asuras, a hundred clans of the Dhaumras, and the Kālakeyas, Mauryas, Daurhṛdas and Kālakas to march out at once against Śambhu and Rudra. Having so commanded, the powerful lord of the dānavas set out with his vast army; his own commander, a great chariot-warrior skilled in the science of war, arrayed a circular battle-formation of countless akṣauhiṇīs and came forth from the camp, fearsome to warriors. Mounting a jewelled aerial car with his elders placed before him, Śaṅkhacūḍa journeyed toward the bank of the river Puṣpabhadrā, where stands the auspicious imperishable banyan and the hermitage that grants perfection to the siddhas — near the abode of Kapila in the sacred land of Bhārata, between the western ocean and the Malaya mountain, north of Śrīśaila and south of Gandhamādana. That crystal-bright river, a beloved bride of the salt ocean and companion of Sarasvatī, flows down from the Himālaya and, passing Mount Gomanta on her left, enters the western ocean. Arriving there, Śaṅkhacūḍa beheld the army of Śiva arrayed before him.व्यासजी सनत्कुमारजीको आशीर्वाद देकर पूछते हैं कि शिवदूतके चले जानेके बाद प्रतापी शङ्खचूडने क्या किया। सनत्कुमारजी बताते हैं कि शङ्खचूड भीतर जाकर अपनी पत्नी तुलसीसे मिले और कहा कि शम्भुके दूतके कहनेसे वे युद्धके लिये उद्यत हो गये हैं, अतः वे उनसे आज्ञा माँगते हैं; शंकरकी उपेक्षा करते हुए उन्होंने रातमें अपनी प्रियाके साथ हर्षपूर्वक क्रीडा की। ब्राह्ममुहूर्तमें उठकर प्रातःकृत्य तथा नित्यकर्म करके अनन्त दान देनेके पश्चात् उन्होंने अपने पुत्रको समस्त दानवोंका राजा बनाया और उसे अपनी पत्नी तथा सम्पूर्ण राज्य-सम्पत्ति सौंप दी। फिर रोती हुई और उन्हें जानेसे रोकती हुई प्रियाको अनेक प्रकारसे समझाकर सान्त्वना दी, और सन्नद्ध होकर अपने वीर सेनापतिको बुलाकर आदेश दिया कि दैत्य-दानव, कङ्क, पचास कुलोंके बलवान् असुर, सौ कुलोंके धौम्र तथा कालकेय, मौर्य, दौर्हृद और कालक — ये सब शम्भु और रुद्रसे युद्ध करनेके लिये तुरंत प्रस्थान करें। इस प्रकार आज्ञा देकर महाबली दानवेन्द्र विशाल सेनाके साथ निकल पड़े; युद्धशास्त्रमें निपुण उनके सेनापतिने अनेक अक्षौहिणियोंसे युक्त मण्डलाकार व्यूह रचकर शिविरसे बाहर आकर वीरोंको भयभीत कर दिया। श्रेष्ठ रत्नोंसे निर्मित विमानपर चढ़कर तथा गुरुजनोंको आगे रखकर शङ्खचूड पुष्पभद्रा नदीके तटकी ओर चले, जहाँ शुभ अक्षयवट तथा सिद्धोंको सिद्धि देनेवाला सिद्धाश्रम है — जो भारतवर्षके पुण्यक्षेत्रमें, पश्चिमी समुद्रके पूर्व तथा मलय पर्वतके पश्चिम, श्रीशैलके उत्तर तथा गन्धमादनके दक्षिणमें कपिलजीके स्थानके निकट है। वह स्फटिकके समान निर्मल नदी, लवणसमुद्रकी प्रिय भार्या तथा सरस्वतीसे युक्त होकर हिमालयसे निकलकर गोमन्त पर्वतको बायीं ओर रखते हुए पश्चिमी समुद्रमें प्रवेश करती है। वहाँ पहुँचकर शङ्खचूडने शिवजीकी सेनाको देखा।
