Chapter 25·The Gods' Hymn after Jālandhara's Slaying·Verses 1–37
अथ पञ्चविंशोऽध्यायः
Sanatkumāra relates that after Jālandhara's death, Brahmā and all the gods and sages, bowing low, praised the Lord of Lords with words dear to him. The gods declared him ever kind to those who seek refuge, a giver of happiness to the good and a remover of his devotees' sorrow — of wondrous sport, attainable only by devotion, hard to reach and hard for the wicked to propitiate, yet ever gracious to his own. Even the Veda, they said, does not truly know his greatness; great souls sing his glory each according to his own understanding, and even the thousand-mouthed serpent-lord and others forever sing his deeply hidden majesty, purifying their own speech thereby. By his grace the dull-witted become knowers of Brahman, and the Veda itself declares that he is ever attainable through devotion alone; compassionate to the humble and always all-pervading, he manifests himself through true devotion, changeless, the refuge of the good. The gods then recounted a long roll of devotees who, through devotion to him alone, had reached perfection: the Yadu king and devotee Dāśārha and his wife Kalāvatī; King Mitrasaha and his beloved Madayantī, who won the supreme, undivided state; Saumini, daughter of the lord of the Kaikeyas, who gained a happiness rare even for great yogis; King Vimarṣaṇa, who enjoyed many kinds of pleasure across seven lifetimes before reaching the true goal; King Candrasena, freed from sorrow and enjoying every pleasure here and hereafter; Śrīkara, a cowherd woman's son and disciple of Mahāvīra, who won supreme happiness in this world and liberation beyond; King Satyaratha, whose sorrow he removed, and Prince Dharmagupta, whom he made happy and carried across; the brahmin Śucivrata, made wealthy and wise by his grace at his mother's urging; King Citravarmā, who enjoyed pleasures rare even for the immortals before reaching liberation; Prince Candrāṅgada, who together with his wife Sīmantinī cast off all sorrow and attained the great goal; the brahmin named Mandara — a frequenter of a courtesan and the lowest of the wicked — who nonetheless worshipped Śiva with devotion and went to that same goal together with her; Prince Bhadrāyu, freed from affliction, who together with his mother reached the supreme state; a wicked man addicted to every woman's pleasure and to forbidden food, freed by mere service to the Lord; Śambara, ever wearing the ash of the cremation-ground, a great devotee of Śaṅkara, who by the rule of bearing that ash went to the Lord's own city with his wife; the son of Bhadrasena and a minister's son, both of righteous and auspicious conduct, always wearing rudrākṣa, freed by his grace after enjoying happiness here — the two of whom, in a former birth, had been a monkey and a cock likewise adorned with rudrākṣa; the two courtesans Piṅgalā and Mahānandā, who by devotion reached the true goal, O Lord who is ever intent on delivering his devotees; the brahmin's daughter Śāradā, widowed as a child, who by the power of devotion to him became blessed with a son and good fortune; and Binduga, a brahmin in name only and a frequenter of a courtesan, and his mistress, who upon merely hearing his glory attained the supreme goal. Thus, the gods said, many souls have reached perfection through devotion to him, O Lord of Lords, friend of the humble, abode of compassion — for he is the Brahman beyond Prakṛti and beyond Puruṣa, the supreme Lord, without qualities yet the support of the three guṇas, himself of the nature of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Hara, ever performing manifold actions though changeless and lord of all; and they, Brahmā and the rest, declared themselves his servants and his subjects, forever taking refuge in him, praying that he remain gracious and ever protect them. Having praised him thus, the gods and great sages fell silent, their minds fixed on Śiva's two feet. Then Śambhu, the great Lord, hearing their auspicious hymn, at once granted them excellent boons and vanished from that very place. All the gods, their enemy slain, rejoiced and returned to their own abodes, singing Śiva's true glory. This supreme account of Jālandhara's destruction, this sacred deed of the great Lord, destroys the mass of great sins; and this sacred hymn of the gods destroys all sin, ever grants every happiness, and delights the great Lord. Whoever reads or causes to be read these two accounts together shall enjoy the highest happiness here and thereafter attain the state of a lord of Gaṇas.सनत्कुमारजी बताते हैं कि जलन्धरके मारे जानेके पश्चात् ब्रह्मा आदि समस्त देवता और मुनिगण सिर झुकाकर प्रिय वचनोंसे देवाधिदेवकी स्तुति करने लगे। देवताओंने कहा कि आप शरणागतवत्सल, सज्जनोंको सुख देनेवाले तथा भक्तोंका दुःख दूर करनेवाले हैं; आप अद्भुत लीला करनेवाले, केवल भक्तिसे प्राप्य, दुर्लभ तथा दुष्टोंके लिये दुराराध्य हैं, फिर भी अपनोंपर सदा प्रसन्न रहते हैं। वेद भी आपकी महिमाको यथार्थरूपसे नहीं जानता; महात्मालोग अपनी-अपनी बुद्धिके अनुसार आपके यशका गान करते हैं, और सहस्रमुख शेषनाग आदि भी सदा आपकी अतिगूढ़ महिमाका प्रेमपूर्वक गान कर अपनी वाणीको पवित्र करते हैं। आपकी कृपासे जड़बुद्धि भी ब्रह्मज्ञानी हो जाता है, और वेद स्वयं कहता है कि आप सदा भक्तिसे ही प्राप्य हैं; आप दीनोंपर दयालु, सर्वत्र व्यापक तथा निर्विकार होकर भी सद्भक्तिसे प्रकट होते हैं और सज्जनोंकी गति हैं। तदनन्तर देवताओंने अनेक भक्तोंका स्मरण किया जिन्होंने केवल भक्तिके बलपर सिद्धि पायी — यदुवंशी भक्त राजा दाशार्ह तथा उनकी पत्नी कलावती; राजा मित्रसह तथा उनकी प्रिया मदयन्ती, जिन्होंने परम कैवल्य पाया; केकयनरेशकी पुत्री सौमिनी, जिसने महायोगियोंको भी दुर्लभ सुख पाया; राजा विमर्षण, जिसने सात जन्मोंतक विविध भोग भोगकर सद्गति पायी; राजा चन्द्रसेन, जो दुःखसे मुक्त होकर इहलोक-परलोकमें सुख पाता रहा; गोपीपुत्र श्रीकर, महावीरका शिष्य, जिसने इहलोकमें सुख भोगकर परलोकमें सद्गति पायी; राजा सत्यरथ, जिनका दुःख आपने हरा, तथा राजपुत्र धर्मगुप्त, जिन्हें आपने सुखी बनाकर तार दिया; ब्राह्मण शुचिव्रत, जो मातासे प्रेरित होकर आपकी भक्तिमें लगा और आपकी कृपासे धनवान् तथा ज्ञानी बना; राजा चित्रवर्मा, जो देवदुर्लभ भोग भोगकर अन्तमें सद्गतिको प्राप्त हुआ; राजपुत्र चन्द्राङ्गद, जो अपनी पत्नी सीमन्तिनीसहित सम्पूर्ण दुःख त्यागकर महागतिको प्राप्त हुआ; मन्दर नामक ब्राह्मण — वेश्यागामी तथा अधम दुष्ट — जिसने भी शिवकी भक्तिपूर्वक पूजा कर उसी वेश्यासहित गतिको प्राप्त किया; राजपुत्र भद्रायु, जो व्यथासे मुक्त होकर अपनी माताके साथ परम गतिको प्राप्त हुआ; सभी स्त्रियोंमें रत तथा अभक्ष्यभक्षी एक दुर्जन, जो केवल सेवासे मुक्त हो गया; चिताभस्मधारी शम्बर, जो शंकरका महाभक्त था और भस्मधारणके नियमसे अपनी पत्नीसहित प्रभुके धामको गया; भद्रसेनका पुत्र तथा मन्त्रीका पुत्र, दोनों सुधर्मी, शुभकर्मा तथा सदा रुद्राक्षधारी, जो इहलोकमें सुख भोगकर कृपासे मुक्त हुए — और पूर्वजन्ममें ये दोनों ही रुद्राक्षधारी वानर तथा कुक्कुट थे; दो वेश्याएँ पिङ्गला तथा महानन्दा, जो भक्तिसे सद्गतिको प्राप्त हुईं, हे भक्तोद्धारपरायण नाथ! एक ब्राह्मणकी पुत्री शारदा, जो बाल्यावस्थामें विधवा हो गयी थी, आपकी भक्तिके प्रभावसे पुत्रवती तथा सौभाग्यवती बनी; तथा बिन्दुग, नाममात्रका ब्राह्मण एवं वेश्यागामी, तथा उसकी प्रिया, जो आपका यश सुनकर ही परम गतिको प्राप्त हुए। इस प्रकार, देवताओंने कहा, हे महेशान, हे दीनबन्धो, हे कृपालय! आपकी भक्तिसे अनेक जीव सिद्धिको प्राप्त हुए हैं — क्योंकि आप प्रकृतिसे तथा पुरुषसे भी परे ब्रह्म, परमेश्वर, निर्गुण होते हुए भी त्रिगुणके आधार, तथा ब्रह्मा-विष्णु-हरस्वरूप हैं, निर्विकार तथा अखिलेश्वर होकर भी नाना कर्म करते हैं; और हम ब्रह्मादि सब आपके दास तथा प्रजा हैं, सदा आपकी शरणमें हैं — आप प्रसन्न होइये और सदा हमारी रक्षा कीजिये। इस प्रकार स्तुति करके ब्रह्मादि देवता और मुनीश्वर शिवके दोनों चरणोंमें चित्त लगाकर मौन हो गये। तब महेशान शम्भुने देवताओंकी वह शुभ स्तुति सुनकर उन्हें तुरन्त उत्तम वर देकर वहीं अन्तर्धान कर लिया। शत्रु मारा जानेसे प्रसन्न सभी देवता ब्रह्मादि शिवका यश गाते हुए अपने-अपने धामको चले गये। जलन्धरके विनाशका यह परम आख्यान, महेशका यह पुण्य चरित्र, महान् पापसमूहका नाश करनेवाला है; और देवताओंकी यह पुण्य स्तुति सब पापोंको नष्ट करनेवाली, सदा सब सुख देनेवाली तथा महेशको आनन्द देनेवाली है। जो इन दोनों आख्यानोंको पढ़ता या पढ़ाता है, वह इस लोकमें परम सुख भोगकर अन्तमें गणपतित्वको प्राप्त करता है।
