श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — युद्धखण्डअथ त्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra relates to Vyāsa how Viṣṇu, together with Brahmā, went at once to the supremely divine and immaterial Śivaloka. Joyful, they entered that gem-studded, resplendent world and came to its first gate, wondrous and attended by gaṇas, where heroic doorkeepers — five-faced, three-eyed, fair of form, bearing tridents, adorned with ash and rudrākṣa — sat upon jeweled thrones; bowing humbly, Brahmā told them their purpose, to behold the Lord. Given leave, they passed through gate after gate — each more delightful and radiant than the last — announcing their errand afresh to each gatekeeper, until, having passed through fifteen gates in all, Brahmā reached the great gate and beheld Nandin; duly honoured and praised, they were given leave by him and entered within with joy. There they beheld on high the resplendent assembly hall of Śambhu, thronged with gleaming, richly adorned attendants bearing forms like Maheśvara's own — ten-armed, five-faced, three-eyed, blue-throated. The hall itself is described at length: shaped like the orb of the full moon, four-cornered and lovely, resplendent with garlands of the finest gems and diamonds, fashioned of priceless jewels and adorned with lotus petals, variegated with pictures wrought in ruby, fashioned of padmarāga gems by Śaṅkara's own will, furnished with hundreds of steps of Syamantaka gem, hung with sandalwood sprays bound in golden thread, encircled by sapphire pillars, perfumed by fragrant breezes, a thousand yojanas in extent and thronged with servants. There Viṣṇu, lord of the gods, beheld Śaṅkara together with Ambā, seated in the midst as the moon amid the stars, upon a throne of priceless gems — crowned, adorned with jeweled garlands, his whole body smeared with ash, holding a lotus for play, watching with a smile the song and dance performed before him, tranquil and greatly rejoicing, the beloved of Umā, having partaken of the fragrant betel she had given him, attended by gaṇas with white chowries and praised by siddhas with bowed necks. Having beheld him thus — transcending the guṇas, the supreme lord, begetter of the three gods, all-pervading, undifferentiated and formless yet possessed of form by his own will, free of māyā, unborn, the primeval lord of māyā, higher than the highest, beyond Prakṛti and Puruṣa, utterly complete and impartial — Viṣṇu and Brahmā, with hands folded in reverence, extolled him. Addressing him as the God of gods, the Great God, the Supreme Brahman, Lord of all, transcending the three guṇas, undisturbed, begetter of the three gods, they declared themselves come for refuge, sorrowful and tormented by Śaṅkhacūḍa; they revealed that the ruler of Goloka, Kṛṣṇa, is established there by Śiva's own will, and that his foremost attendant, Sudāmā, bound by fate and cursed by Rādhā, had become the demon Śaṅkhacūḍa, by whom they had been driven out and stripped of their offices, now wandering the earth. Only Śiva, they said, could slay him; let him do so and restore happiness to the worlds. They praised him as at once qualityless and possessed of qualities, higher than Prakṛti and Puruṣa; as Brahmā the creator through rajas, Viṣṇu the preserver through sattva, Rudra the destroyer through tamas, and, beyond the three guṇas, the fourth — Śiva, whose very nature is light; as the one who by his own dispensation dwells in Goloka as protector of cows, in whose pasture Kṛṣṇa sports day and night; as the cause and master of all — Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Īśvara himself — unchanging, ever witness, the Supreme Soul, the highest Lord, helper of the destitute, protector of the wretched, friend of the poor, lord of the three worlds, ever affectionate to those who take refuge in him. They begged him to be gracious and deliver them, declaring themselves wholly dependent on his will. Having said this, Hari and Brahmā then bowed to Śiva and, with hands joined in humility, fell silent. सनत्कुमारजी व्यासजीको बताते हैं कि विष्णु, ब्रह्माजीके साथ, तत्काल अत्यन्त दिव्य तथा अभौतिक शिवलोकको गये। आनन्दित होकर वे उस रत्नोंसे जगमगाते, महोज्ज्वल लोकके भीतर प्रविष्ट हुए और गणोंसे सेवित, अद्भुत प्रथम द्वारपर पहुँचे, जहाँ पाँच मुख और तीन नेत्रोंवाले, गौर एवं सुन्दर शरीरवाले, त्रिशूलधारी, भस्म तथा रुद्राक्षसे सुशोभित वीर द्वारपाल रत्नसिंहासनोंपर विराजमान थे; विनम्रतापूर्वक प्रणामकर ब्रह्माजीने उन्हें प्रभुदर्शनका प्रयोजन बताया। आज्ञा पाकर वे एकके बाद एक द्वारसे होकर आगे बढ़े—हर द्वार पहलेसे अधिक मनोहर और तेजोमय था—और हर द्वारपालको अपना प्रयोजन पुनः बताते हुए, कुल पन्द्रह द्वारोंको पारकर ब्रह्माजी महाद्वारपर पहुँचे और वहाँ नन्दीके दर्शन किये; भलीभाँति नमस्कार और स्तुति करनेपर नन्दीने आज्ञा दी और वे प्रसन्नतापूर्वक भीतर प्रविष्ट हुए। वहाँ उन्होंने शम्भुकी उच्च, तेजोमय सभा देखी, जो माहेश्वर-रूप दस भुजाओं, पाँच मुखों, तीन नेत्रों तथा नीले कण्ठवाले गणोंसे भरी थी। सभाका विस्तृत वर्णन है—पूर्णचन्द्रके आकारकी, चौकोर, मनोहर, श्रेष्ठ रत्नों तथा हीरोंके हारोंसे सुशोभित, अमूल्य रत्नोंसे रचित, पद्मपत्रोंसे शोभित, माणिक्यकी मालाओंसे चित्रित, शङ्करजीकी इच्छासे पद्मरागमणियोंसे निर्मित, स्यमन्तकमणिके सैकड़ों सोपानोंसे युक्त, स्वर्णसूत्रसे बँधे चन्दनके पल्लवोंसे सुसज्जित, इन्द्रनीलमणिके स्तम्भोंसे घिरी, सुगन्धित वायुसे वासित, सहस्र योजन विस्तृत तथा अनेक सेवकोंसे परिपूर्ण। वहाँ सुरेश्वर विष्णुने शङ्करको अम्बाके साथ देखा, जो चन्द्रमाके समान ताराओंके बीच अमूल्य रत्ननिर्मित सिंहासनपर विराजमान थे—किरीट, कुण्डल तथा रत्नमालासे विभूषित, समस्त अङ्गोंमें भस्म रमाये, हाथमें केलिकमल धारण किये, अपने सम्मुख होते गीत-नृत्यको मुस्कराते हुए प्रसन्नतापूर्वक देखते हुए, शान्त, प्रसन्नचित्त, उमाके प्रिय, अत्यन्त उल्लसित, देवीद्वारा दिया गया सुगन्धित ताम्बूल सेवन करते हुए, गणोंद्वारा श्वेत चामरोंसे सेवित तथा सिद्धोंद्वारा नतकन्धर होकर स्तुत। उन्हें इस प्रकार गुणातीत, परेश, त्रिदेवजनक, विभु, निर्विकल्प, निराकार तथा स्वेच्छया साकार, मायारहित, अजन्मा, आदि, मायाधीश, परात्पर, प्रकृति-पुरुषसे परे, परिपूर्णतम तथा सम देखकर विष्णु और ब्रह्माने हाथ जोड़कर प्रणामपूर्वक उनकी स्तुति की। देवदेव, महादेव, परब्रह्म, अखिलेश्वर, त्रिगुणातीत, निर्व्यग्र, त्रिदेवजनक कहकर सम्बोधित करते हुए उन्होंने अपनेको शरणागत, दुःखित तथा शङ्खचूडसे पीड़ित बताया; उन्होंने प्रकट किया कि गोलोकके अधिष्ठाता कृष्ण स्वयं शिवकी ही स्थापनासे वहाँ हैं, तथा उनका श्रेष्ठ पार्षद सुदामा दैवयोगसे राधाके शापसे शङ्खचूड दानव बना, जिसने उन्हें निकालकर उनके अधिकार छीन लिये और वे पृथ्वीपर भटक रहे हैं। केवल शिव ही उसका वध कर सकते हैं—ऐसा कहकर उन्होंने उससे संसारका कल्याण करनेकी प्रार्थना की। उन्होंने शिवको निर्गुण तथा सगुण दोनों, प्रकृति-पुरुषसे परे; रजोगुणसे सृष्टिकर्ता ब्रह्मा, सत्त्वगुणसे पालनकर्ता विष्णु, तमोगुणसे संहारकर्ता रुद्र, तथा त्रिगुणातीत चतुर्थ ज्योतिःस्वरूप शिवके रूपमें; गोलोकमें गोपालक तथा जिनकी गोशालामें कृष्ण नित्य क्रीड़ा करते हैं; सर्वकारण एवं स्वामी—स्वयं ब्रह्मा, विष्णु तथा ईश्वर; निर्विकारी, सदासाक्षी, परमात्मा, परमेश्वर, दीनानाथसहायी, दीनबन्धु, त्रिलोकेश तथा शरणागतवत्सलके रूपमें स्तुति की। उन्होंने प्रसन्न होकर उद्धार करनेकी प्रार्थना की और अपनेको पूर्णतः उनके अधीन बताया। ऐसा कहकर हरि और ब्रह्मा शिवको नमस्कारकर हाथ जोड़े विनीत भावसे मौन हो गये।
१ गत्वा तदैव सविधिस्तदा व्यास रमेश्वरः । शिवलोकं महादिव्यं निराधारमभौतिकम् ॥ १॥
gatvā tadaiva savidhistadā vyāsa rameśvaraḥ | śivalokaṃ mahādivyaṃ nirādhāramabhautikam ||
Doubtful readingThis line's second word functions here as a compound naming Brahmā (Vidhi) as Viṣṇu's companion on the journey, not as the ordinary adverb meaning 'duly, with due rite' — the two readings look identical on the page, and the surrounding narrative (Brahmā and Viṣṇu travelling together throughout the chapter) settles it in favour of the former.
हे व्यासजी! तत्पश्चात् उस समय रमेश्वर विष्णु, विधि (ब्रह्माजी) के साथ, अत्यन्त दिव्य, निराधार तथा अभौतिक शिवलोकको गये।
