Chapter 22: Whether to Eat Śiva's Food Offering, and the Greatness of the Bilva

Chapter 22 · Whether to Eat Śiva's Food Offering, and the Greatness of the Bilva · Verses 1–36

अथ द्वाविंशोऽध्यायः

The sages have heard that the food offered to Śiva must not be taken, and ask Sūta to settle this and to tell the greatness of the bilva. Sūta says a devotee should drop that idea and eat it gladly: seeing it drives sins away, eating it brings merit beyond countless sacrifices, and a house where it is shared becomes holy. Delay or unwillingness to take it is a sin. A devotee initiated into Śiva may eat the offering of every liṅga. For people with another initiation who love Śiva, he gives a rule: eating the offering of many kinds of liṅga, from śālagrāma and mercury to crystal and the liṅgas of light, equals the cāndrāyaṇa vow. Where Caṇḍa has the right to the offering it is not eaten; where he has none, as with bāṇa, metal, siddha and self-born liṅgas and all images, it is eaten with devotion. What lies on top of the liṅga is not taken, but what has not touched it is very pure. Sūta then praises the bilva as a form of Mahādeva: every place of pilgrimage lives at its root, and worship, lamps, water and feeding a devotee there bring great reward. He ends with the two ways of worship, one for those active in the world and one for those who have turned away from it. ऋषियोंने सुना है कि शिवका नैवेद्य नहीं लेना चाहिये। वे सूतजीसे इसका निर्णय और बिल्वका माहात्म्य पूछते हैं। सूतजी कहते हैं कि भक्त यह भावना छोड़कर नैवेद्यको प्रसन्नतासे खाये: उसे देखनेसे पाप दूर होते हैं, खानेसे अनगिनत यज्ञोंसे बढ़कर पुण्य मिलता है, और जिस घरमें वह बाँटा जाता है वह पवित्र हो जाता है। उसे लेनेमें देर या अनिच्छा पाप है। शिवकी दीक्षा लिया भक्त सभी लिंगोंका नैवेद्य खा सकता है। दूसरी दीक्षावाले शिवप्रेमियोंके लिये वे नियम बताते हैं: शालग्राम और पारेसे लेकर स्फटिक और ज्योतिर्लिंगों तक अनेक लिंगोंका नैवेद्य खाना चान्द्रायण व्रतके समान है। जहाँ नैवेद्यपर चण्डका अधिकार है वहाँ उसे नहीं खाते; जहाँ नहीं है, जैसे बाणलिंग, धातुलिंग, सिद्धलिंग, स्वयम्भू लिंग और सब प्रतिमाएँ, वहाँ भक्तिसे खाते हैं। लिंगके ऊपरकी वस्तु नहीं ली जाती, पर जो लिंगसे छुई नहीं वह बहुत पवित्र है। फिर सूतजी बिल्वको महादेवका रूप बताकर उसकी महिमा कहते हैं: सब तीर्थ उसकी जड़में रहते हैं, और वहाँ पूजा, दीप, जल और शिवभक्तको भोजन करानेसे बड़ा फल मिलता है। अन्तमें वे पूजाके दो मार्ग बताते हैं, एक संसारके कामोंमें लगे लोगोंके लिये और एक संसारसे हटे हुए लोगोंके लिये।

हे द्विजो! इस प्रकार सब अंगों और उपांगोंके साथ शिवलिंगकी पूजा बता दी गयी। वह दो प्रकारकी है। एक संसारके कामोंमें लगे लोगोंके लिये, और एक संसारसे हटे हुए लोगोंके लिये।

Twice-born ones, thus the worship of Śiva's liṅga has been told with all its parts and details. It is of two kinds. One is for those active in the world, the other for those who have turned away from it.
