46 - Married life of Shiva and Parvati 

Radhika said- О lord, Rati after getting her husband back to life who had been reduced to ashes by Shiva was extremely delighted. What did she do thereafter? 

The separation of the women from her husband is like death and is quite painful and getting the husband bake, provides immense pleasure. 

In the welfare ceremonies of Shiva, Sati was restored to him and he was filled with pleasure after long separation from her. What did he do thereafter?

The separation of a woman from a man is quite painful and to get her back is a like getting the life back. 

Rati had been separated from her husband for long and Shiva was suffering from the pain of separation of his wife. Both of them got back their beloved's. Thereafter what type of pleasure did they enjoy I am quite anxious to know about the same You are the best of the intellectuals, therefore, О lord, you kindly tell me everything in detail. 

Because the union of Shiva and Parvati besides Kamadeva and Rati removes all the pains and bestows all the pleasures. 

Narayana said- Thus speaking the smiling Radhika kept quiet. Listening to her words Sri Krishna smiled and he said. 

Sri Krishna said- Rati who was infatuated with love after getting back her husband brought back kamа, her husband to her own abode. 

Reaching home with the help of her female friends she. adorned her husband with beautiful costumes and the ornaments, kamа who was the creator of the scriptures on kamа and his desires were understood by Rati. She at once mounted with him on the chariot and went from the house to the garden. Thereafter they roamed about in all the beautiful mountains, rivers, rivulets islands, sea-shores, charming flower orchards, mines of gold, under the banyan trees located in secluded places, on the desert lands the forests, the places with blossoming flowers where black-wasps were issuing hissing sound and cuckoos were issuing sweet notes, the places where the water was issuing like fragrant fountains, where the cool and fragrant breeze was blowing. Thereafter Rati, enjoyed the company of her husband in different ways, witnessing which even the intelligent damsels lost their heart and were surprised. 

Then kamа enjoyed the company of Rati for a hundred divine years and during the period they remained unmindful of the day and night. Both of them were well-versed in the scriptures on love-sports. This both of them ware engrossed in pleasure and engaged themselves in the conjugal pleasure in which Rati never felt detached. 

Thereafter Rati, shed away the grief of the separation from her husband. A person who gets back his last diamond would never part with it even for a moment.

О Radhika, I have now narrated to you the cause of the grief of Rati and its disappearing. Now you listen to the charming union of Наrа and Gauri which is like nectar for the ears, quite astonishing, which fulfils all the desires, removes the suffering, bestower all the pleasures besides being auspicious. 

Shiva was residing in the house of his father-in law together with Parvati Thereafter Shiva with the permission of Himavan for the enjoying love sport mounted on the gem-studded chariot which was built by Vishvakarma inlaying precious gems. Both of them mounted on the chariot and departed from the place of Himavan. 

They roamed about in the mountain of hundred peaks and Suvasana besides mountains like Malay a, Gandhamadana, Nandana, Pus pabhadra, Paribhadra, Bhadraka, Pulinda, Kalinda, Pundra, Pindaraka and Andhaka mountains. They went around many of the charming forest, sea-shore, close to Astacala (mountain of the setting sun), under the pleasant roots of banyan tree where he had disowned Sati and lamented for long, several other places and the places which were devoid of animals and birds and were completely deserted. They travelled according to their own sweet-will and enjoyed the company of each other. 

Again, Shiva delightfully took Sati to the places where he had roamed about carrying her dead body on his shoulders. 

Thus, enjoying the conjugal pleasures for long and they were still, not satisfied after the laps of a thousand years. 

The one who is beyond the illusion and is known as the lord of illusion was influenced by, the illusion of the illusion itself. The great yogi who had created time became unmindful of the same. 

He shed away the entire grief emanating from his separation from Sati and therefore they did not have to make efforts for keeping shakti and the bestower of shakti together. 

The minds of both of them were, attracted towards the pleasure. The bodies were overwhelmed lying on the flowers bed. They were fainted with passion and were unrobed with the enjoying of the pleasure. Both of them were well- versed in the conjugal pleasures and had injured each other's bodies with nails or teeth. The sandal-paste, aguru, kasthuri, vermilion, spots which were painted over their bodies were erased. The knots of hair were dishevelled and the garments had been tom. They were creating sound with the garments, anklets, armlets, kundalas, while engaging in the physical exercise over flower bed crushing the flowers, they were breathing heavily. Even though they were equal in strength and the performing of the love-shorts and were feeder of the universe, but in spite of that the earth was pressed with their weight getting tom out, she started shaking together with the mountains and the ocean. 

Because of your excessive weight the earth started shaking and with her shaking the serpent Sesha also felt terrified, with the suffering of the serpent Sesha, the tortoise also started trembling because of the agony of the tortoise even the wind god became upset as a result of which the breathing of all the creatures was disturbed, with the disturbing of all the creatures, all of them were upset. Thereafter, Brahma and all other gods reached Vishnu to take refuge with him. All the gods narrated the entire story to lord Narayana who spoke to Brahma accordingly. 

Narayana said- О Brahman, the time for disturbing their conjugal pleasure has not get arrived. Everything would be done at the appropriate time. After the lapse of a thousand years, they themselves would feel disinterested. At the moment Shiva would like to enjoy the conjugal pleasure. No one the earth would be competent enough to dissuade him from doing that. 

Any-one who separates husband and wife from the conjugal pleasures, he has to face separation between, the husband and wife in every birth. Thereafter the sinful person falls into the kalasutra hell and remains there for a lakh of years. In the present birth he remains devoid of knowledge and devoid of glory he becomes a pauper. The love-sport of Rambha and Indra was disturbed by the great sage Durvasa as a result of which he had to face separation from his wife. 

Thereafter, he adored lord Shiva the holder of the trident for a thousand years. He then got back another wife, as a result of which his suffering, because of separation came to an end. 

The great sage Gautama disturbed the conjugal pleasure of Rohini and Candrama, as a result of which he had to face the separation from his wife. He also performed tapas in the Pushkara for a divine thousand years. Meditating upon Shiva he got back Ahalaya as a result of which his grief came to an end.

Once the sage, in a secluded forest, found his own son named Brahmandaka enjoying the conjugal pleasure with his wife and he separated him in anger, as a result of this in due course of time he was separated from his son. Thereafter in the second kalpa he performed tapas for Shiva and after getting back his son he was relieved of his anxiety. 

Once a ploughman was found enjoying the company, of a Shudra woman. Now you listen to the results he had to face for the same. 

As a result of this the sage Vishvamitra who deprived of the riches, the kingdom and was denounced badly. Thereafter, he adored Shiva who is the bestower of all the riches. As a result of this he went to Vaikuntha with all his relatives. 

It is because of this, that Ajamila the best of the Brahmanas was engaged in union with a degraded woman, the god could stop him from doing so. 

After the ending of the deed my devotee himself left her and with the reciting of my name, he reached my abode. 

Therefore, О Brahman, the action is quite powerful, everything can be achieved with the same and the reward for that action is bestowed by me, who can make it otherwise?

Shiva, who bestows the reward of actions, is going to enjoy the conjugal pleasure for a thousand years. After the completion of a thousand years Shiva would move in such a way that his semen would fall on the earth as a result of which Skanda would be born who would redeem the devotees, I am always the form of welfare, therefore why should all of you worry, when I am there?. 

О lord, presently all of you should go back to your respective abodes together with your attendants and let Shiva and Parvati enjoy the conjugal pleasures in the secluded places. 

After speaking like this, he immediately went back to his inner apartment and the gods, also went to their respective abodes, while Shiva and Parvati enjoyed their conjugal pleasure nicely. 

Narayana said- Krishna together with who wears a smile on her face always looks and side glances, went to the forest of sandal-wood in a secluded place.

That secluded place was extremely charming where the cool fragrant breeze was blowing and had a number of flower orchard in the same. They enjoyed each other’s companies in that place. The beds of flowers garlands were available there, the sweet sound of the cuckoos was being heard, the black-wasps were issuing hissing sound. The place was the best for the passionate damsels. 

Radhika enjoyed the union with Krishna and was fainted Krishna, with the touch of the limbs of Radhika was also fainted. 

While enjoying the conjugal pleasure both Radha and Krishna became motionless. What more do you want to listen from me? 

О Narada, whosoever, listens to this welfare ceremony quite attentively he is never has to face a separation from his relatives. Getting plunged in the ocean of grief, after developing the difference of opinion with the son, the wife, the servant and the relatives whosoever, listens to the same for a month, he surely gets his desire fulfilled. 

Suta said- О great sage, Narayana the son of Dharma kept quiet after thus speaking. Thereafter the sage Narada asked him.
