Adhyaya 7

हिन्दी अर्थ

महर्षि भृगुके द्वारा कहे हुए इस “करुणाहृदय” नामक स्तोत्रका जो प्रतिदिन प्रातःकाल उठकर पाठ करता है, वह परम गतिको प्राप्त होता है। इस स्तोत्रसे सन्तुष्ट होकर भगवान् शिवने भृगुसे

English

Again there was the advent of a vast expanse of ocean- like water with horrible features in which mobile and immobile beings perished. The whole world was submerged in water. Darkness enveloped everything and there was no light at all. Brahma alone assumed the form of a Khadyota (Firefly, Glow- worm). For the period of a thousand divine years, he moved about in the great ocean enveloped in darkness. He then saw in the terrible expanse of ocean, the Lord asleep in the form of a tortoise. The excellent Lord, the incomprehensible, ex- tended to a thousand Yojanas. He resembled the twelve Adityas (Suns) in splendour. He had a thousand feet and eyes. On seeing him, Brahma was surprised and roused him slowly by means of auspicious hymns taken from the Vedic and Vedanga texts: "O Vacaspati (Lord of Speech), do wake up. O Supreme Being, obeisance to you. O Paramesvara (Supreme Lord), the entire universe is stationed in your belly. Hence, O Mahasattva (huge being of immense inner strength and good qualities), release what was withdrawn within by you. The night of Brahma has passed off. The day has dawned. O Lord of all worlds, have a view, whereby the universe can take birth."

After dividing the entire ocean-like expanse of wa- ter, Paramesvara espied the earth consisting of trees, medici- nal herbs and puddles, extensively abounding in stones and flood of water and full of rivers and lakes. He saw Himavan the great mountain, Sveta the excellent mountain, the great mountain Srngavan as well as other Kulaparvatas. (He espied) the Dvipas

He saw Narmada of unmanifest limbs and noble features. She was beautified by various ornaments of magical origin.

On seeing that splendid lady, I was overwhelmed with surprise in the heart. I took my holy dip in her splendid water. I began to eulogize joyously by means of Mantras taken from the Vedic Scriptures. In front of her I saw the mobile and immobile beings created along with Devas, Asuras, Gandharvas, Pannagas and great Uragas.
