The visit of Lord Shambhu and Goddess Bhavani to the hermitage of Sage Agasthya
Maharishi Yajjavalkhya with
a pleasant smile on his face begins to speak “ Oh!Vathsa, you are thoroughly
aware of the splendor of supreme Lord Rama, You are a fervent devotee of Rama,
with your action, words, and deeds, I know your skills very well. You wanted to
listen to those highly confidential virtues of Rama, that is the reason you
have revealed your sincere desire to me. Oh! Vathsa, I shall narrate the legend
of Lord Rama in detail, listen to me carefully with intense devotion and faith.
The endless desires are the dreadful demon/Mahishasura, the legend of Rama is
the dreadful Kali who is the killer of that Mahishasura. The legend of Rama is
like the cool rays of the full moon, the ascetics and saintly men like Chakora
birds takes great pleasure in it. Devi Bhavani raised various questions about
the legend of Rama to Lord Mahadeva was elaborately described to her. I shall
narrate that conversation between Lord Shambhu and Goddess Uma, according to my
knowledge. Oh! Mune, listen to the time and circumstance of the conversation
took place between them, it will remove all your grief.”
Maharishi Yajjavalkhya
continues “Oh! Vathsa, once in Thretha Yuga Lord Shiva went to meet the Kumbhasambhava
Sage Agasthya in his hermitage. Lord Shiva who is Lord of Lords was accompanied
by Jagathjanani Devi Sathi, was received reverentially by Sage Agasthya. Later,
Sage Agasthya explained the legend of Rama to this divine couple, was listened
by Maheshwara with great devotion and love. Sage enquired about the glorious
devotion to Lord Hari, was explained by Lord Maheshwara elaborately. In this way, the divine couple Lord Shambhu
and Goddess Sati resided in the hermitage of Sage Agasthya for sometimes,
listening to the glorious legends of Raghupathi. Finally, Lord Kailasanatha,
Thripurari bade farewell to Sage Agasthya and returned to Kailash with the
daughter of Daksha. Those were the days the supreme Lord Hari manifested as
Raghupathi in the illustrious clan of Raghu to reduce the burden on the Earth
was exploring the dense wood of Dhandakavana. Prabhu was sincerely following the promise to
his father, abandoned the crown of Ayodhya, and attired the saffron robes, with hair
lock like an ascetic wandered all over the woods. Lord Hara who was while returning to Mount
Kailash was in deep thought, how did I get the Dharshan of that Prabhu who is
incarnated on the Earth? If I visit him in person the whole world would come to
know about it. This created intense anxiousness
in Shambhu, but Devi Sati was not aware of any of these. Ravana has already
attained a boon from Lord Bhrama that he would be killed in the hands of a
human, Prabhu has to make the boon of Bhrama truthful if I did not visit the
Raghuram later I would regret it. In
this way, Lord Shambhu immersed in various thoughts. In the meantime, the
wicked Dhashanan arrived with Mareecha who disguised into a golden deer, later
the depraved Ravana abducted Devi Sita was not aware of the glory of Lord Rama.
Prabhu returned with Lakshman from wood after killing the Mareecha who was in
the form of a golden deer, found the hermitage empty, could not control his
tears. He lamented over the separation from his dearest wife, like an ordinary
human. The two brothers were conducted thorough search all over the woods. Rama
who is beyond Samyoga and Viyoga expressed his intense grief of separation
from his wife. The various amusements of
Raghupathi are indescribable, which can be understood only by highly
intelligent and noble souls. The dull-minded people who are soaked in the desires
of the material world cannot understand it.”
