Chapter 29·Śaṅkhacūḍa's Kingship and Former Birth·Verses 1–59
अथ एकोनत्रिंशोऽध्यायः
When Śaṅkhacūḍa returned home married, the demons and dānavas rejoiced; all the asuras, together with their preceptor Śukra, gathered around him in reverence, and the son of Dambha bowed to Śukra with great devotion. Śukra related to him the whole ancient account of the gods and demons — their innate enmity, the asuras' defeats, the gods' victories, and how Bṛhaspati had aided the gods — and then, with the consent of all the asuras, held a festival and made Śaṅkhacūḍa their overlord; the joyful asuras offered him gifts. Thus crowned, the heroic and mighty Śaṅkhacūḍa set out with a vast army of daityas, dānavas, and rākṣasas to conquer Indra's city, shining among his followers like the king of planets. Hearing of his approach, Indra made ready with all the gods to resist him, and a tumultuous battle broke out that thrilled the brave and terrified the cowardly, filled with the roars of warriors and the sound of martial music. The gods at first fought fiercely and the asuras were routed and fled in fear, but Śaṅkhacūḍa himself then entered the battle with a lion's roar and swiftly wrought havoc among the gods, who, unable to bear his splendor, fled and took refuge, wretched and dependent, in mountain caves, like oceans stripped of their radiance. That valiant son of Dambha then seized the offices and sacrificial shares of the gods, conquered all the worlds, and himself became Indra, ruler of the whole universe; he took over the offices of Kubera, the Moon, the Sun, Agni, Yama, and Vāyu, and became overlord of gods, asuras, dānavas, rākṣasas, gandharvas, nāgas, kinnaras, the dwellers of the nether realms, the three worlds, and all besides. Thus, as the great overlord of kings, Śaṅkhacūḍa ruled all the worlds for a long span of years: in his kingdom there was no famine, no plague, no evil planetary influence, no anguish and no disease, and the subjects were ever happy; the earth yielded crops though unploughed, herbs and trees were ever fruitful, the oceans abounded in gems, and the rivers ran with fair water. Except for the gods, all beings, steadfast each in their own duty across the four varṇas and āśramas, lived happily under his rule; only the gods remained unhappy, on account of their ancient fraternal rivalry. Sanatkumāra then reveals that this mighty Śaṅkhacūḍa was in truth Kṛṣṇa's own supreme friend, a virtuous soul devoted to Kṛṣṇa-bhakti and an eternal dweller of Goloka, who, though he had taken a dānava's birth through an earlier curse, never had the mind of a demon. The defeated gods, stripped of their kingdom, took counsel with the sages and went to Brahmā's assembly; recounting their distress to him, they were consoled by Brahmā, who led them all to Vaikuṇṭha. There they beheld Viṣṇu — four-armed, crowned, bearing conch, discus, mace, and lotus, clad in yellow, garlanded, and attended by Sanandana and the other siddhas — and, bowing with joined palms, praised him with devotion and wept before him. Viṣṇu asked Brahmā why he had come to that world so hard for yogis to reach, and Brahmā, humbly bowing again and again, related the whole account of Śaṅkhacūḍa's deeds and the gods' distress. Hari, the all-knowing one, smiled on hearing this and revealed the secret to Brahmā: above all worlds lies the supreme Śivaloka, where Śambhu, the Supreme Brahman and highest Lord, reigns as governor even of Prakṛti and Puruṣa, bearer of the three powers, at once without qualities and with qualities, the supreme light in his own form; from him were born the three agents of creation, Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and Hara, endowed with the guṇas beginning with sattva. That Supreme Soul sports there with Umā, free from māyā, ordaining both the eternal and the transient; and near his realm lies Goloka, Śiva's own cow-pasture, where by Śiva's will Kṛṣṇa — Viṣṇu's own form — dwells to protect the cows, ever happy in that appointed task, together with his consort Rādhā, the supreme, fifth form of Prakṛti, and with the many gopas and gopīs, their own offspring, devoted always to play, who follow Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. Viṣṇu explains that Śaṅkhacūḍa is in truth that very cowherd, now deluded through Śambhu's own play and, needlessly, through a curse, fallen into a demon's birth that brings him suffering; but his death by Rudra's trident was ordained by Kṛṣṇa long ago, after which, giving up his body, he will become an attendant of Śiva. Knowing this, Viṣṇu tells Brahmā there is no cause for fear: let him go for refuge to Śaṅkara, who will at once grant well-being, and let Viṣṇu himself, Brahmā, and all the immortals remain undisturbed. Having said this, Viṣṇu, together with Brahmā, set out for Śivaloka, his heart fixed on Śambhu, the lord of all, ever affectionate to his devotees.शङ्खचूड विवाहित होकर अपने घर लौटे तो दानव आदि सभी आनन्दित हुए; समस्त असुर अपने गुरु शुक्रके साथ आकर आदरपूर्वक उनके निकट एकत्र हुए और दम्भपुत्रने भी शुक्राचार्यको बड़ी भक्तिसे प्रणाम किया। शुक्रने उन्हें देवताओं और दानवोंका सम्पूर्ण पुरातन वृत्तान्त सुनाया—उनका स्वाभाविक वैर, असुरोंकी पराजय, देवताओंकी विजय तथा बृहस्पति-द्वारा की गयी सहायता—और फिर समस्त असुरोंकी सम्मतिसे महोत्सव करके शङ्खचूडको उनका अधिपति बना दिया; हर्षित असुरोंने उन्हें भेंट अर्पित कीं। इस प्रकार राज्याभिषिक्त हुए वीर प्रतापी शङ्खचूड दैत्य-दानव-राक्षसोंकी विशाल सेना लेकर इन्द्रकी नगरी जीतनेके लिये चल पड़े, और अपने अनुचरोंके बीच ग्रहराजके समान शोभित हुए। उनके आगमनका समाचार सुनकर इन्द्रने समस्त देवताओंके साथ युद्धकी तैयारी की, और वीरोंको आनन्द देनेवाला तथा कायरोंको भयभीत करनेवाला घोर युद्ध छिड़ गया, जिसमें वीरोंकी गर्जना और वाद्योंकी ध्वनि गूँज उठी। पहले देवता क्रुद्ध होकर बलपूर्वक लड़े और असुर पराजित होकर भाग गये, किन्तु फिर स्वयं शङ्खचूडने सिंहनाद करते हुए युद्धमें प्रवेशकर देवताओंका संहार कर दिया, और उनके तेजको सहन न कर पानेके कारण देवता निष्प्रभ होकर पर्वतोंकी गुफाओंमें जा छिपे। उस पराक्रमी दम्भपुत्रने देवताओंके अधिकार तथा यज्ञभाग छीनकर सम्पूर्ण लोकोंको जीत लिया और स्वयं इन्द्र बनकर सम्पूर्ण जगत्का शासक बन गया; उसने कुबेर, चन्द्रमा, सूर्य, अग्नि, यम तथा वायुके अधिकार भी अपने अधीन कर लिये और देवता, असुर, दानव, राक्षस, गन्धर्व, नाग, किन्नर, रसातलवासी, त्रिलोकी तथा अन्य सबका अधीश्वर बन गया। इस प्रकार महान् राजराजेश्वर शङ्खचूडने दीर्घकालतक सम्पूर्ण भुवनोंका राज्य किया: उनके राज्यमें न दुर्भिक्ष था, न महामारी, न अशुभ ग्रह, न मानसिक पीड़ा और न रोग, और प्रजा सदा सुखी रहती थी; पृथ्वी बिना जोते ही अन्न देती थी, ओषधियाँ तथा वृक्ष सदा फलयुक्त रहते थे, समुद्र रत्नोंसे परिपूर्ण थे तथा नदियाँ स्वच्छ जल बहाती थीं। देवताओंको छोड़कर सभी प्राणी, चारों वर्णाश्रमोंमें अपने-अपने धर्मपर स्थित रहते हुए, उनके राज्यमें सुखी थे; केवल देवता ही अपने पुरातन भ्रातृ-वैरके कारण दुःखी रहे। सनत्कुमारजी तब प्रकट करते हैं कि यह पराक्रमी शङ्खचूड वस्तुतः कृष्णका परम सखा, कृष्णभक्तिमें रत एक साधु तथा सदाका गोलोकवासी था, जो पूर्वशापके कारण दानवयोनिमें रहते हुए भी कभी दानवबुद्धिवाला नहीं हुआ। राज्यसे वंचित तथा पराजित देवगण ऋषियोंके साथ परामर्श कर ब्रह्माजीकी सभामें गये; अपना दुःख सुनाकर ब्रह्माजीसे सान्त्वना पाकर वे सब वैकुण्ठ गये, जहाँ उन्होंने चतुर्भुज, मुकुटधारी, शंख-चक्र-गदा-पद्मधारी, पीताम्बरधारी तथा सनन्दन आदि सिद्धोंसे सेवित विष्णुके दर्शन किये और हाथ जोड़कर भक्तिपूर्वक उनकी स्तुति करते हुए उनके सामने रो पड़े। विष्णुने ब्रह्माजीसे उनके योगिदुर्लभ वैकुण्ठमें आनेका कारण पूछा, और ब्रह्माजीने बार-बार प्रणामकर विनम्रतापूर्वक शङ्खचूडके कृत्य तथा देवताओंके कष्टका सारा वृत्तान्त कह सुनाया। सर्वज्ञ हरिने यह सुनकर मुस्कराते हुए ब्रह्माजीको यह रहस्य बताया कि सबसे ऊपर परात्पर शिवलोक है, जहाँ परब्रह्म परमेश्वर शम्भु प्रकृति और पुरुषके भी अधिष्ठाता, त्रिशक्तिधर, निर्गुण-सगुण स्वरूपवान् परंज्योतिके रूपमें विराजमान हैं; उन्हींसे सत्त्वादि गुणसम्पन्न विष्णु, ब्रह्मा तथा हर नामक तीनों सृष्टिकर्ता उत्पन्न हुए। वे परमात्मा मायासे रहित होकर उमाके साथ वहाँ विहार करते हुए नित्य-अनित्यकी रचना करते हैं; उसके समीप ही शंकरका गोलोक नामक गोशाला है, जहाँ उनकी इच्छासे विष्णुके ही रूप कृष्ण गौओंकी रक्षाके लिये सदा सुखपूर्वक निवास करते हैं, उनके साथ प्रकृतिकी परम पञ्चम मूर्ति राधा तथा उनके अंशसे उत्पन्न अनेक विहारपरायण गोप-गोपियाँ भी वहाँ रहते हैं। विष्णुने बताया कि शङ्खचूड वस्तुतः वही गोप है, जो अब शम्भुकी लीलासे मोहित होकर शापके कारण व्यर्थ ही दुःखदायी दानवयोनिको प्राप्त हुआ है; उसकी मृत्यु रुद्रके शूलसे होना कृष्णने पूर्वमें ही निश्चित कर रखा है, जिसके पश्चात् वह शरीर त्यागकर पार्षद बन जायेगा। यह जानकर विष्णुने ब्रह्माजीसे कहा कि भय करनेकी आवश्यकता नहीं—शंकरकी शरणमें जायें, वे शीघ्र ही कल्याण करेंगे, और वे स्वयं, ब्रह्मा तथा सभी देवता यहाँ निर्भय रहें। ऐसा कहकर विष्णु ब्रह्माजीके सहित सबके स्वामी तथा भक्तवत्सल शम्भुका मनमें स्मरण करते हुए शिवलोकको चले गये।
