Caṇḍīśa, Gaṇeśa, Nandī, and Guha were present, listening attentively. “O goddess,” the narrator said, “hear now the delightful story that dwells in my mind.” After eight days had passed, one opened his eyes and beheld Śivā, who was resting in sleep. The goddess Jagadambikā then asked, “How many verses have you heard?” Upon hearing this, the parrot, who had been dwelling in the hollow, attained longevity. Remaining in Śiva’s abode, the parrot became absorbed in meditation upon the goddess. Through this devotion, he realized the greatness and rarity of the Bhāgavata. The story continued: “When you reach the banks of the Narmadā, narrate this auspicious tale. It should be shared only with a worthy recipient—a wise devotee of Vishnu.” Having spoken thus, the serene-minded god Bopadeva disappeared. Thus ended the thirty-second chapter in the compendium of Kali Age history, within the Caturyuga-khanda-aparaparyaya section of the Pratisarga Parva in the glorious Bhavishya Mahapurana. Next, the listeners expressed their desire: “Because of the vastness of all the Vedas, we wish to hear them. By which hymn may one obtain the fruit of reciting the Vedas?” The account was then given of a man known as Vyadhakarma, born from a Shudra father and a Brahmin woman named Kamini—the wife of a twice-born who recited the threefold sacred texts. Seeking livelihood, the twice-born went to recite the Saptashati. A month passed, and he did not return home. Kamini, seeing the strong Nishada who made his living by carrying wood, conceived after receiving his seed. Twelve years later, her son, lacking Vedic knowledge and considered wicked, was expelled along with his mother by the twice-born. The two, having fallen from their caste, went to dwell in the house of the Nishada in the forest. There, daily reciting the Candika hymn, he remained on Mount Vindhya. Engaged in the work of a hunter, he pleased his parents through theft and continued to bring ornaments for a woman, addicted to a life of crime. Once, he obtained garments belonging to a twice-born. Yet, through the power of reciting sacred texts, his mind gradually became devoted to righteousness. He became a disciple and chanted the Maisha syllable, reciting a garland of syllables and recounting the deeds of Adi. With supreme joy, he praised Annapurna, the great goddess—eternal giver of bliss, bestower of supreme fearlessness, ocean of beauty and gems, purifier of all sins, and sovereign of Kashi. Having recited her one hundred and eight names, he entered deep meditation. The goddess then granted him knowledge of the Rigveda and disappeared. He later became the priest of sacrifice for King Vikramaditya. Thus, the meritorious account of Adi’s deeds was described. The thirty-third chapter, ‘The First Account of Deeds,’ concludes here in the Bhavishya Mahapurana. Following this, the tale turns to Bhimavarman, a man known for eating meat and drinking liquor. Driven by greed, he consumed pigs and village fowl, and eventually became a devourer of human flesh, abandoning all other foods. Though still young, he died from a wasting disease and fever. That evil and fearful man had the recitation of Candika performed for him. Thus, the stories are told—of devotion, transformation, and consequences—within the sacred compendium of the Bhavishya Mahapurana.
