adi purush shri narayan ne bhi tapasya janit klesh ko shant karte hue sharnagat prachetaon ki or dayadrishti se niharte hue megh ke saman ganbhir vani men kaha - ‘rajputron tumhara kalyan ho ! tum sabmen paraspar bara prem hai aur snehavash tum ek hi dharm ka palan kar rahe ho. tumhare is adarsh sauhard se main bahut prasann hun. mujhse var mango. jo purush sayankal ke samay pratidin tumhara smaran karega, uska apne bhaiyon men apne hi saman prem hoga tatha samast jivon ke prati mitrata ka bhav ho jayega. jo log pratahkal aur sayankal ekagrachitt se rudragit dvara meri stuti karenge, unko main abhisht var aur shuddh buddhi pradan karunga. tum logon ne bari prasannata se apne pita ki agya shirodharya ki hai, isse tumhari kamniya kirti samast lokon men fail jayegi. tumhare ek bara hi vikhyat putra hoga. vah gunon men kisi bhi prakar brahmaji se kam nahin hoga tatha apni santan se tinon lokon ko purn kar dega. rajkumaron kandu rishi ke taponash ke lie indra ki bheji hui pramlocha apsara se ek kamlnyni kanya utpann hui thi. use chorakar vah svargalok ko chali gayi. tab vrikshon ne us kanya ko lekar pala posa. jab kanya bhukh se vyakul hokar rone lagi tab aushdhiyon ke raja chandrama ne dayavash uske munh men apni amrivarshini tarjani anguli de di.
tumhare pita ne tumhen santan utpann karne ki agya di hai. atah tum shighra hi us devopam sundri kanya se vivah kar lo. tum sabhi ek hi dharm men tatpar v ek hi svabhav vale ho; isliye tumhare hi saman dharm v svabhav vali vah sundri kanya tum sabhi ki patni hogi tatha tum sabhi men uska saman anurag hoga. tum log meri kripa se das lakh divya varshon tak purn balvan rahakar anekon prakar ke parthiv v divya bhog bhogoge. ant men meri avichal bhakti se hriday ka samast vasnarup mal dagdh ho jane par tum is lok tatha parlok ke narktulya bhogon se uparat hokar mere parmdham ko jaoge. shrishukdev ji kahte hain - rajan ! bhagvan ke darshanon se prachetaon ka rajogun-tamogun mal nasht ho chuka tha. jab unse sakal purusharthon ke ashray aur sabke param suhriday, shri hari ne is prakar kaha, tab prachetaon ne hath jorakar gadgad vani se kaha - prabho. bhakton ke klesh dur karne vale apko hamara namaskar hai. apka veg man aur vani ke veg se barhakar hai tatha apka svarup sabhi indriyon ki gati se pare hai. vastav men jagat ki utpatti, sthiti aur lay ke lie ap maya ke gunon ko svikar karke hi brahma, vishnu aur mahadev rup dharan karte hain.
ap hi samast bhagvton ke prabhu vasudevnandan bhagvan shrikrishn hain, apko namaskar hai. jagdishvar ! ap moksh ka marg dikhane vale aur svayan purusharth svarup hain. ap ham par prasann hain, isse barhakar hamen aur kya chahie. bas hamara abhisht var to apki prasannata hi hai. ham apse keval yahi mangte hain ki jab tak apki maya se mohit hokar ham apne karmanusar sansar men bhraman karte rahen tab tak janma-janm men hamen apke premi bhakton ka sang prapt hota rahe. bhagavan ! apke priya sakha bhagvan shankar ke kshanabhar ke samagam se hi aj hamen apka sakshat darshan prapt hua hai. ap janm marnrup duahsadhya rog ke shreshthatam vaidya hain, atah ab hamne apka hi ashray liya hai. hamne annadi ko tyagakar dirghakal tak jal men khare rahakar tapasya ki hai, vah sab ap sarvavyapak purushottam ke santosh ka karan ho - yahi var mangte hain. ap sattvamurti bhagvan vasudev ko ham namaskar karte hain. rajan shri shukdev ji kahte hain prachetaon ke is prakar stuti karne par sharnagatavatsal shri bhagvan ne prasann hokar kaha- ‘‘tathastu’’. shrihri abhisht var dekar parmdham ko chale gaye. iske pashchat prachetaon ne samudra ke jal se bahar nikalakar dekha ki sari prithvi ko unche-unche vrikshon ne dhank diya hai, yah dekhakar ve vrikshon par kupit hote hue apne mukh se prachand vayu aur agni prithvi ko vriksh, lata adi se rahit kar dene ke lie chorne lage.
brahmaji ne jab yah dekha ki ve sare vrikshon ko bhasm kar rahe hain, tab ve vahan aye aur prachinabarhi ke putron ko yuktipurvak samjhakar shant kiya. fir jo kuch vriksh vahan bache the, unhonne darakar brahmaji ke kahne se vah kamlnyni kanya lakar prachetaon ko de di. prachetaon ne bhi us marisha nam ki kanya se vivah kar liya. isi ke garbh se brahmaji ke putra daksh ne, shrimhadev ki avagya ke karan apna purva sharir tyagakar janm liya. inhin daksh ne chakshush manvantar ane par, jab kalakram se purva sarg nasht ho gaya, bhagvan ki prerna se ichchanusar navin praja utpann ki. inhen brahmaji ne prajaptiyon ke nayak ke pad par abhishikt kar srishti ki raksha ke lie niyukt kiya aur inhonne marichi adi dusre prajaptiyon ko apne-apne karya men niyukt kiya. ye karm karne men bare daksh (kushl) the, isi se inka nam ‘daksha’ hua. shrishukdev ji kahte hain- rajan . das lakh varsh bit jane par jab prachetaon ko vivek hua, tab unhen shrihri bhagvan ke vakyon ki yad ayi aur ve apni bharya marisha ko putra ke pas chorakar turant ghar se pashchim disha men samudra ke tat par jahan jajli muni ne siddhi prapt ki thi; vahin ja pahunche aur jisse ‘samast bhuton men ek hi atmatatva virajman hai’ aisa gyan hota hai, us atmavichar rup brahmasutra ka sankalp karke baith gae.
unhonne pran, man, vani aur drishti ko vash men kiya tatha sharir ko nishchesht, sthir aur sidha rakhte hue asan ko jitakar chitt ko vishuddh kar brahm men lin kar diya. aisi sthiti men unhen devta aur asur donon ke hi vandniya shri nardji ne dekha aur prachetaon ke samaksh jaise hi pahunche, prachetagnon ne devarshi ko khare hokar vidhivat puja-pranamadi se santusht kar divya asan samarpit kiya. jab nardji sukhpurvak baith gae tab ve kahne lage. prachetaon ne devarshi nardji se kaha- bhagavan ! apka svagat hai, aj bare bhagya se hamen apka darshan hua. bhagvan shankar aur shrivishnubhgvan ne hamen jo updesh diya tha, use grihasthi men asakt rahne ke karan ham log bhul gaye hain. atah ap hamare hridyon men us parmarth tatva ka sakshatkar karane vale adhyatm gyan ko fir prakashit kar dijie, jisse ham sugmta se hi is dustar sansar-sagar se par ho jaen. sada-sarvada bhagvan shrikrishn ki lila-kathaon men hi raman karne vale bhagavanmay shri nardji ne kaha-rajaon ! is lok men manushya ka vahi janm, vahi karm, vahi ayu, vahi man aur vahi vani safal hai, jiske dvara sarvatm sarveshvar shrihri hi sanpurn praniyon ki priya atma hain.
atah tum brahmadi samast lokpalon ke bhi adhishvar shri hari ko apne se abhinn mante hue bhajo, kyonki ve hi samast dehdhariyon ke ekmatra atma hain. bhagvan svarupanand se hi paripurn hain, unhen nirantar apni seva men rahne vali lakshmiji tatha unki ichcha karne vale narpti or devtaon ki bhi koi parvah nahin hai. itne par bhi ve apne bhakton ke to adhin hi rahte hain. aho ! aise karunasagar shri hari ko koi bhi kritagya purush thori der ke lie bhi kaise chor sakta hai. narad ji ne prachetaon ko is updesh ke sath-sath aur bhi bahut si bhagavatsanbandhi baten sunayin. iske pashchat prachetaon ko sanpurn gyan-vigyan se sanyukt kar devarshi brahmalok ko chale gae. prachetagan bhi unke mukh se sanpurn jagat ke paprupi mal ko dur karne vale bhagavat charitra sunakar bhagvan ke charan kamlon ka hi chintan karne lage aur ant men bhagavaddham ko prapt ho gae.
