The story of king Anar^ya results in the destruction of all the riches and could create all round miseries.
xITPkI wfH^I W1IIV9I1 Sri Krsna said- All the gods deliberated on the matter considerably and then arrived at the abode of Brahma. All of them then submitted themselves before he creator of the universe.
nwtdr Trwilfr f|TrFBi;i The gods said- O creator of the universe, in your universe, Himalaya happens to be the abode of the gems and diamonds. In case he attains moksa then the title of the earth as Ratnagarbhd gems in her womb) would become infructuous. Himalaya, after giving away his daughter in marriage to Siva the holder of the trident with devotion sure to achieve the Sdrupya moksa of Narayana. There is no doubt about it.
O lord, therefore you go to the abode of Himalaya and denuding Siva pollute his mind.
No one else except you can perform this task.
On hearing the words of the gods, Brahma himself spoke out the words which were sweet like nectar for the ears and were the best in Brahma said- O my children, I am unable to denounce Siva which is extremely difficult and You send Bhutanatha to him with the player that he should denounce himself in the abode of Himalaya. By denouncing others one earns destruction and by denouncing himself one earns great glory.
O dear, on hearing the words of Brahma all the gods left his place after offering their salutations to him. They then reached Kailasa and they started praising him.
Thereafter, the gods told everything to Siva the ocean of mercy, hearing which he laughed aloud. He assured the gods and reached the abode of Himalaya himself. All the gods felt immensely delighted at this and reaching their own abodes they started rejoicing there because the success in one's mission is always delightful and getting unsuccessful in one's mission is Himalaya the king of mountains was seated in his court surrounded by his wife and Parvatl.
In the meantime Siva himself arrived there suddenly in the form of a Brahmana. His face and eyes were delightful and he was holding a staff and a cakra. in his hands. He was clad in a long costume and his forehead was plastered about this. O friend, I shall speak only this that you should consult everyone on the subject but do not consult PSrvatT about it.
WR Tmm fRjra'RrfRRlff^i Because an ailing person does not like the medicine, he only intends to indulge in eating according to his will. Thus speaking the Brahmana delightfully took his bath and food with Himalaya and left the place peacefully. O Radha, you enjoy the love-sport in Vmdavana.
On hearing the words of Brahmana, was filled with agony. Her eyes were filled with tears and she said to Himalaya.
Menakaa said- O lord of the mountains, you listen to my words which would be beneficial at the end. You consult all the best of the mountains. I shall never give away my daughter in marriage to Siva.
Look here I shall discard everything and can consumption also and can also live in a dense forest binding Parvatl around my neck, Thus speaking Mens holding the hand of Parvatl went to the chamber in anger. She discarding food started crying and slept on the In the meantime, Vasistha accompanied with his brothers and Arundhatl arrived there.
Himavan after offering his salutation to them gave them golden seats and adored them making sixteen types of offering.
All the sages were comfortably seated in the assembly and Arundhatl went to the place where Parvatl and Mena were lodged.
Reaching there she found that Mena was drowned on the ocean of grief lying on the ground. The chaste Arundhatl than spoke sweet words to Mena which were also beneficial to her.
Arundhatl said- O chaste lady, Mena get up. I am Arundhatl who has arrived in your home. I happen to be the mind bom daughter of the manes. You consider myself to be the daughter- in-law of Brahma.
at F R cRT: w frar On hearing the words of Arundhatl, Mena at once got up and she bowed in reverence to Arundhatl who was having the divine lustre.
MtR JTTJPrpngj 3tRPFRFi;i RRf gpRarq wssH^i I? 11 Menaka said- what is the great merit that has emerged today as a result of which the daughter- in-law of Brahma has arrived in my abode who happens to be the wife of Vasistha.
O goddess, I am your slave-girl. You treat this house as your home. Because of our great merit we have been fortunate enough to meet the goddess of the Universe. She spoke this quickly.
Thereafter she offered to the chaste lady, the padya and arghya, also gave her the golden seat over which she was seated. She was served the sweet food and thereafter she also tools the food with her daughter.
Siva the lord of the yogis would never be desirous of the marriage, he would accept your daughter in marriage only at the request of Brahmanas. After the completion, of the tapas of your daughter, he had given such a promise.
Because of this, Siva the lord of theyog/s would surely accept the proposal of the marriage. At this words of the sages, Himalaya smiled and feeling panicky he humbly spoke to them.
Arundhati then tried to convince Mena about the qualities of Siva and also insisted that the marriage should be performed.
Himalaya said- Siva does not possess any riches like a king nor does he have any source of pleasure. He has no house no riches and no On the other hand the sages also spoke to Himavan with the best of the won^s which were quite appropriate, beneficial and pleasing about the marriage of Siva and Parvati.
The sages said- O lord of the mountains listen to our beneficial words, you give away in marriage your daughter Parvati to Siva and become the father-in-law of the destroyer of all.
You should try to convince Siva making considerable efforts and starts preparation for the marriage. Soon the doubt about the performing of marriage with ^iva and Parvati would be He is a pauper and remain uninvolved and giving away the daughter to an ascetic like him would not be proper. You people are the sons of Brahma therefore you be graceful to tender me some sane and definite advice.
In case a father because of passion, greed, danger and love gives away in marriage his daughter to an unsuitable person, he has to fall in the hell for long. Therefore I shall not gave away my daughter in marriage to Siva of my own sweet will O sages, you move according to the best possible way.
On listening to the words of Himavan, the sage Vasistha who was well-versed in the Vedas and post-Vedic literature spoke to Himavan the words which were completely according to the provision of the Vedas.
Vasistha said- O lord of the mountains there are three types of words defined in the Vedas, the person who is well-versed in the scriptures is fully aware of the truth, by his divine sight.
The first category of words are those which should be pleasing to all the ears and could be understood quickly. But later on could be false and are found to be harmful. Such words are spoken only by enemies and they do not bestow welfare at all.
The second type of words are those which' appeared to be painful in the beginning but they I result in delight. Such words are spoken by; highly religious people who are quite: compassionate. Such words are spoken only to; close relatives and brothers.
The third type of words are those which serve, like nectar in the ears as soon as one hear them and they look quite sweet. Such words are pleasant for all times, such words are truthful, beneficial, the best and desired by all.
O lord of the mountains thus three types of words have been described in the scriptures, which one of the words of these three categorise desired by you. I would like to speak about the O lord of the mountains, lord Siva is free from the outward show because his mind is always engrossed in the ocean of the tattvas.
The wealth and the riches are by nature unstable and perishable like the lightening, therefore there would be no desire with Siva who is blissful and remains engrossed in his own soul.
The householder gives away his daughter in marriage to a wealthy person. A father who gives away his daughter in marriage to a person who is envious of the ladies, he is termed as the killer of the daughter.

the same lord who is devoid of gwnas is the eternal soul, the lord of all, beyond Prakrti is uninvolved and pervades in all the creatures.
He is not alone in the act of the destruction of the universe. He can also create the universe, he is formless as well as with form. He pervades everywhere, he is the one who moves at will.
Taking to the TrimQrti form merging in him Brahma, Visnu and ^iva at one place, in one form, he performs the task of creation, preservation and destruction of the universe.
Brahma resides in the Brahmaloka, Visnu resides in the ocean of the milk and Siva has Kailasa as his abode. All the three are the vibhutis of lord Lord Krsna has two forms, the first one has two arms and the second one has four arms. In his four-armed form, he resides in Vaikuntha and in his two-armed form he resides in Goloka.
Brahma, Visnu and Siva are the arhsas of Krs na. Same of the gods happen to be his rays and while the other is only the part of his rays.
It is lord Krsna who had created Prakrti with the sole purpose of the creation of the universe and for the purpose of creation, the seed was implanted in her womb.
Out of that womb an egg was bom, out of which Mahavirat appeared. He is also known as MahSvisnu who happens to be the sixteenth Goloka of Sri Krsna.
irUT 'Ji?rv(Tf4n:i The four faced Brahma emerged out of the navel of Mahavisnu who was reclining on the serpent bed in the ocean. Lord Siva appeared from the forehead of Brahma.

Thereafter, she bestowed the RajalaksmI on the gods. After the change of kalpa, she was bom out of the womb of the wife of Daksa and was known by the name of Satl who married to Siva.
Daksa himself gave her away in marriage but listening to the denouncement of her husband, Satl ended her life.
Your wife Mena happens to be the mind-bom daughter of the manes. Jagadambika was bom out of the womb of Mena, O lord of the mountains, Siva happens to be the wife of Siva in all the kalpas. She represents the wisdom of the best of the intellectuals.
sftw fRIlTRRT R3IRT qft i^TR: I She bestows success and is all Knowledgeable. She remembers the events of all her previous births, Siva adorns himself with the garland of her bones and applies the ashes of her fire, on his body.
O form of welfare, you give away your daughter willingly to Siva. Otherwise she is sure to proceed to the abode of her lord and you will keep on watching the sight.
TnrfiqTSTw m gjRiT m w Whichever husband, a women had in her previous birth, the same husband is achieved by her in the present birth. No one can change this order of Brahma.
Siva is well-aware of tattvas who moves in his own way therefore he is not quite anxious for the marriage. All the gods who were terrified by Tarakasura prayed to Siva. Realising the pain of the gods, Brahma prayed to Siva. The compassionate Siva agreed to have her gracefully as his wife.
Promising to marry her. Siva the lord of the yogis himself witnessed the severe, tapas performed by your daughter and he himself went there in the form of a Brahmana boy. He assured her and also granted a bom to her and thereafter he left for the place. On hearing the news the gods like Indra and others were filled with Thereafter lord NSrayana, Brahma, Dharma and all the gods, Sages, Gandharvas, Yaksas and Raksasas met at a particular place and all of them discussed on the subject.

The infallible words of the lord cannot be otherwise.
Everything right from Brahma to the bjade of grass is perishable and unstable but the words of infallible ascetics cannot be otherwise.
All the wings of the mountains were cut off by Indra in a moment playfully; playing with the wind the peaks of mountains were shattered.
Therefore O Himalaya, which one of the mountains with you is competent enough to wage a war against the gods. With the force of the wind all the mountains will fall into the ocean in no time.
O king of the mountains, in case by giving away one thing, one can save the destruction of others, one should protect the rest by giving away one. This rule is not applicable for the one who comes to take refuge with you.
It would be quite appropriate to give away even the life for the protection of the one who has taken refuge. Then what to speak of the son, the wife and riches besides other things? This has been ordained by people who are well-versed in the scriptures.
The king Anaranya was freed from the curse of a Brahmana by giving away his daughter to him in marriage By doing this, he was able to protect all his riches.
He was well-wishers of BrShmanas but facing the curse from them, Anaranya was advised by those well-versed in the scriptures is duty at that time. By following the same he was freed from the danger.
O lord of the mountains, similarly you also save all your relatives and friends by giving away your daughter to ^iva and get control on the gods.
On hearing the words of Vasistha, Himalaya, the king of the mountains laughed aloud and with a painful heart he enquired about the story of Himalaya said- O BrShmana, in which race was the king Anaranya bom and how did he get himself relieved of the danger by giving away his daughter to the Brahmana and saved all his Vasistha said- The king Anaranya was bom in the race of Manu.

Thereafter Uttama Thereafter the Tamas Manu who was the form of Dharma appeared and he was succeeded by Thereafter the sixth one was Caksusa the seventh was Sraddhadeva and the eighth one was the great Savarani who was the son of Surya, who had in earlier birth bom as the king Suratha in the family of Caitra. The ninth Manu was Daksa Savarani and the tenth was Brahma Savarani. The eleventh one was Dharma Savarani and the twelfth was Rudra Savarani who happened to be a great devotee of Visnu and had controlled all his senses.
Thereafter, Deva Savarani was bom and after him the fourteenth the Manu was Indra Savarani.
O brother, thus I have nanated to you the names of all the fourteenth Manus, after the passing of whom a day of Brahma is counted. Now you listen to the story of Indra Savarani.
Indra Savarani happened to be the best of the Manus, was quite a religious one and was a great devotee of Visnu the holder of Gada. He mled the earth for a period of seventy one yugas quite religiously. Thereafter, entrusting tjie care of his kingdom to Surendra his son he himself went to the forest for tapas.

He performed tapas for a long time and than achieved a boon, as a result of which he was bestowed with a son, who had controlled all his desires and was known by the name of Anaranya he entmsting the kingship to his son went to the forest for performing tapas.
Anaranya the best of the king ruled the seven continents and he appointed Bhrgu as his family priest and performed an hundred yajnas.
The king who was full of wisdom did not accept the position of Indra taking it to be quite perishable. He actually conquered Bali and Indra quite playfully.
With the great luster he possessed the king of demons was also defeated. O Himalaya the king had a hundred sons and a beautiful daughter named Padma who resembled Lak§ml in beauty.
Remaining in the house of her father she became youthful Thereafter the king sent the messengers to all sides. Once the great ascetic named Pippalada was anxious to go to his dsrama. In that secluded place he came across to Gandharva who was enjoying the love-sport in the company of the damsels.
Having been drowned in passion, the Gandharva was intoxicated and lost the sense about the day or the night. The sage witnessing the sight was filled with passion. From that day onwards, he remained upset and started thinking about his marriage. Once the sage PippalSda was moving towards the bank of Puspabhadra river for taking a bath.

At that point of time with the lustre of the sage, all the courtiers of the kings were immensely influenced. Finding the body of the sage badly affected with old age, the king started crying with all his attendants and courtiers. All the queens also started crying. No one could think as to what could be done in those The chief queen who happened to be the mother of the daughter got filled with grief and was fainted. Those well-versed in polity and the
scriptures advised the king ”0 king, you have to give away in marriage the girl today or any other day. Do you think it proper to give away your daughter to some-one else besides the ascetic? I do not find anyone more suitable in the three worlds beside this Brahmana who could be given your daughter in marriage, you save all your riches by giving away the daughter to the sage.
The entire kingdom would be destroyed for the sake of the princess.
One should disown everyone else except the one who takes refuge to save everything.
