Chapter 23·The Greatness of Ash, Rudrākṣa and Śiva's Name·Verses 1–45
अथ त्रयोविंशोऽध्यायः
The sages ask Sūta to tell them the greatness of ash, of rudrākṣa and of the name. Sūta first praises the three together. Śiva's name, ash and rudrākṣa are like the Triveṇī: the name is like the Gaṅgā, ash is the Yamunā, and rudrākṣa is the one born of Vidhi. Long ago Brahmā weighed the fruit of wearing the three against the fruit of bathing at the Veṇī, and the two came out equal, so from that day the gods wear them. Then Sūta turns to the name itself. It burns mountains of sin like a forest fire. It is a boat across the ocean of worldly life and an axe for the sins at its root. No man can commit as much sin as Śiva's name destroys. King Indradyumna and a sinful brahmin woman reached the highest goal by its power. At the end Sūta says he will now tell the greatness of ash.ऋषि सूतजीसे भस्म, रुद्राक्ष और नामकी महिमा पूछते हैं। सूतजी पहले इन तीनोंकी एक साथ प्रशंसा करते हैं। शिवका नाम, विभूति और रुद्राक्ष त्रिवेणीके समान हैं: नाम गंगाके समान है, विभूति यमुना है और रुद्राक्ष विधिसे उत्पन्न होनेवाली है। पहले ब्रह्माने इन तीनोंको धारण करनेके फलको वेणीमें स्नानके फलसे तौला और दोनों बराबर निकले, इसलिये उसी दिनसे देवता इन्हें धारण करते हैं। फिर सूतजी नामकी महिमा बताते हैं। यह दावानलकी तरह पापोंके पर्वत जला देता है। यह संसार-सागरको पार करनेकी नौका है और संसारकी जड़ बने पापोंको काटनेवाला कुठार है। शिवनाम जितने पाप नष्ट करता है, उतने पाप मनुष्य कर ही नहीं सकता। राजा इन्द्रद्युम्न और एक पापिनी ब्राह्मण स्त्रीने इसीके प्रभावसे उत्तम गति पायी। अन्तमें सूतजी कहते हैं कि अब वे भस्मकी महिमा बतायेंगे।
