Chapter Three·The Plan to Delude Tripura's Dharma·Verses 1–54
अथ तृतीयोऽध्यायः
In response to the gods' hymn of praise, Śiva speaks: the lord of Tripura is presently protected by merit, and one who abides in dharma may never be slain by the wise, however great the gods' distress and however powerful and unassailable the demons may be. The Tripura demons, sons of Tāraka, are bound by their vows and are his own devotees; knowing that betrayal of a friend is a grave sin from which even the pious find no expiation for ingratitude, Śiva declares he cannot countenance their destruction, and that so long as they remain devoted to him they must not be slain — yet he directs the gods to lay the matter before Viṣṇu. The gods report to Brahmā, and all proceed to Vaikuṇṭha, where they lay their sorrow before Hari. Viṣṇu observes that where eternal dharma abides, sorrow cannot arise, as darkness cannot remain when the sun is seen; the anguished gods press him further, asking how their own dharma can prosper while Tripura lives, and begging that either Tripura be slain or the gods themselves be allowed to perish. Seeing their abject state, Viṣṇu falls into thought, recalls the sacrifices to his aid, and from the sacrificial fire thousands of mighty, weapon-bearing bhūta-hosts spring forth. Viṣṇu, upholding Rudra's command, sends them to burn, pierce, and shatter the triple city and then return; but on entering the fiery radiance of Tripura's lord they are instantly reduced to ashes like moths in a flame, and the few survivors flee back to Hari in terror. Pondering how the demons' city can be destroyed by force, Viṣṇu recalls Śiva's own teaching that hostile magic cannot destroy the righteous, and reasons that the Tripura demons owe their inviolability precisely to their righteousness: their worship of Rudra frees them from every sin and grants them both worldly prosperity and, in time, liberation. He therefore resolves that so long as Vedic dharma, the worship of Śaṅkara, and pure observances continue among them, no destruction is possible; the demons' Vedic dharma must first be made to depart, so that having abandoned liṅga-worship they will no longer be secure. Determining this, and acting under Śiva's own command for the protection of the three worlds, Viṣṇu devises the stratagem of undermining their fidelity to the Veda, sends the reassured gods home with the promise that he will accomplish the gods' task in his own way and by his own effort turn the demons away from Rudra, and thereafter sets about bringing this supreme benefit to pass — the account of which, destroying all sin, is now to be heard.देवताओंकी स्तुति सुनकर शिवजी कहते हैं कि त्रिपुराधिपति अभी पुण्यवान् हैं, और जहाँ पुण्य विद्यमान हो वहाँ ज्ञानी पुरुषोंको कभी वध नहीं करना चाहिये — चाहे देवताओंका कष्ट कितना भी बड़ा हो और वे दैत्य कितने भी प्रबल तथा दुर्जेय क्यों न हों। तारकके पुत्र वे त्रिपुरवासी दैत्य समयों-से युक्त तथा स्वयं शिवजीके भक्त हैं; मित्रद्रोह महापाप है और कृतघ्नका कोई प्रायश्चित्त नहीं होता — यह जानकर शिवजी कहते हैं कि वे इन भक्तोंका वध नहीं कर सकते, और जबतक वे भक्तिमें स्थित हैं तबतक उन्हें मारा नहीं जाना चाहिये — फिर भी वे देवताओंसे कहते हैं कि यह बात विष्णुसे निवेदन की जाय। देवता ब्रह्माजीके पास जाकर फिर सब वैकुण्ठ जाते हैं और हरिके समक्ष अपना दुःख निवेदन करते हैं। विष्णु कहते हैं कि जहाँ सनातन धर्म है वहाँ दुःख नहीं होता, जैसे सूर्यके प्रकट होनेपर अन्धकार नहीं रहता; व्याकुल देवता पुनः पूछते हैं कि त्रिपुरके जीवित रहते उनका धर्म कैसे बना रह सकता है, और वे या तो त्रिपुरका वध करने या देवताओंको ही नष्ट कर देनेकी प्रार्थना करते हैं। उनकी यह दुर्दशा देखकर विष्णु चिन्तामग्न हो जाते हैं, यज्ञोंका स्मरण करते हैं और यज्ञकुण्डसे सहस्रों महाकाय, शस्त्रधारी भूतगण प्रकट होते हैं। रुद्रकी आज्ञाका पालन करते हुए विष्णु उन्हें त्रिपुरको जलाकर, भेदकर और तोड़कर लौट आनेकी आज्ञा देते हैं, किंतु त्रिपुराधिपतिके तेजमें प्रवेश करते ही वे शलभोंकी भाँति अग्निमें भस्म हो जाते हैं, और बचे-खुचे कुछ भूत भयभीत होकर हरिके पास लौट आते हैं। दैत्योंके पुरका बलपूर्वक विनाश कैसे हो, यह विचार करते हुए विष्णुको शिवजीका ही यह कथन स्मरण आता है कि अभिचारसे धर्मात्माओंका नाश नहीं होता, और वे समझ जाते हैं कि त्रिपुरके दैत्य अपने धर्मके कारण ही अवध्य हैं — रुद्रकी अर्चनासे वे समस्त पापोंसे मुक्त होकर लौकिक सम्पत्ति और परलोकमें मोक्ष भी पाते हैं। अतः वे निश्चय करते हैं कि जबतक उनमें वेदधर्म, शङ्करार्चन और शुचि कर्म बने रहेंगे तबतक उनका नाश सम्भव नहीं; इसलिये पहले उनके वेदधर्मका ही नाश करना होगा, जिससे लिङ्गार्चन त्यागकर वे वध्य हो जायँ। यह निश्चय करके तथा त्रिलोकरक्षाके लिये स्वयं शिवजीकी आज्ञासे विष्णु उनके श्रुतिधर्मको भ्रष्ट करनेका उपाय रचते हैं, आश्वस्त देवताओंको अपने-अपने धाम भेज देते हैं और स्वयं ही अपनी बुद्धिसे देवकार्य सिद्ध करने तथा दैत्योंको रुद्रविमुख करके भस्म करनेका आश्वासन देते हैं — तत्पश्चात् वे देवताओंके हितके लिये जो उत्तम कार्य करते हैं, वह सर्वपापनाशक वृत्तान्त अब सुना जाय।
