हिन्दी अर्थ

राजाने पूछा--मुनिश्रेष्ठ ! इस तीर्थमें गंगा और यमुना कैसे आयीं, यह प्रसंग विस्तारपूर्वक बतलाइये।

English

There was a very splendid river in the middle of the city. It had meritorious waters and rocky banks studded with gems. It was a great river. On its bank I saw a great Linga too. It had the lustre of lightning and the Sun. All round, it was set with blue sapphires. In some places it resembled fire. In some other places it was smoke-coloured, yellow in some places, red in other places and white elsewhere. The Linga of diverse colours was very wonderful to behold. It was surrounded by Brahma, Visnu, Indra and Sadhyas. It was surrounded by Nandlsvara and other Ga$adhyak$as, Indra and Adityas. I stared at that great Linga of Isana alone.

हिन्दी अर्थ

मार्कण्डेयजी बोले-राजन्! त्रिपुरीमें मतंग नामसे प्रसिद्ध एक धर्मपरायण राजर्षि रहते थे। वे भगवान् शिवके भक्त, महान् योगी और वेदवेत्ताऑमें श्रेष्ठ थे। एक दिन तपस्वी मतंग मुनिके समीप

English

Neither the king of birds was there nor those women nor the Devas. The Lihga alone which was being worshipped (by me?) remained there. I was surprised. On account of the grief, I was fainting as it were. I thought everything was an illusion created by Rudra. Then those girls emerged (from the water) brightening the entire universe with the divine gar- ments and ornaments they were wearing, like lightning streaks brightening a cluster of clouds. After adoring the Lihga with divine, golden lotuses those ladies of splendid countenances and excellent ornaments soon entered the water.

हिन्दी अर्थ

English

O Brahmana, how is it that I have been forgotten by you? You had seen me in the previous Kalpa. Let there be no forgetfulness on your part. I am the same Kalpavahini well- known as Narmada; I was born of Rudra's body. The girls seen by you adoring Mahesvara, the girls who have brought you along with the king of birds, O excellent sage, are the quarters. Mahayogin Mahesvara has been brought here by these, Nandisvara and others from Sivapura, O Brahmana. The same deity, Mahadeva, has established himself here in the form of a Lihga. The preceptor of the Suras and Asuras is being worshipped by Brahma, Visnu and Indra. It is called Lihga by the great sages conversant with the Puranas, because the entire universe consisting of mobile and immobile beings, becomes merged therein. Formerly, all the groups of Devas were taken together and dissolved by the Lord through Maya. They are not seen now. On being created by the Self-born Lord, they will be seen 'again. I am engaged in adoring th« Lihga. My name is Narmada. I have been the maid in attendance of Rudra for a period of a thousand Yugas.
