As the sacred dialogue between Sūta and Śaunaka continued in the Brahma-khaṇḍa of the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, the wise sage Nārada, filled with curiosity and reverence, addressed the Lord of the universe. He asked, “O Lord, what is his form, and what are his deeds?” Upon hearing Nārada’s earnest question, the blessed sage smiled gently, his countenance radiant with divine grace. Thus concluded the chapter known as ‘Nārada’s Question to Nārāyaṇa.’ Śrī Nārāyaṇa then spoke, illuminating the hearts of those gathered with his words. He said, “One should contemplate the lotus feet of the Lord, worshipped by Vāṇī (Sarasvatī), Śivā (Pārvatī), Gaṅgā, Lakṣmī, and others. The ocean of worldly existence is deep and terrifying, where beings suffer as if surrounded by wildfire and serpents. Even the fame of the Lord’s lifting of Govardhana is immense; the earth itself is upheld, and even at the tips of his teeth, it remains moist. Hari, the creator of the Vedas and their limbs, is known through rays of fame that shine forth from the mouths of the Vedas. He is like a bee at the lotus faces of the cowherd maidens, the Lord of the rāsa dance, the supreme enjoyer and person. The creator of the worlds, in the mere blink of his eye, performs wondrous deeds—O child, who on earth can recount them all? You, I, the Manus, and the great sages are but fractions of fractions of his power. With a thousand heads, he upholds the universe on a portion of his head, no greater than a mustard seed. The pure fame of the Lord of Goloka is not fully revealed in the Vedas or the Purāṇas. In every world and abode, Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Rudra are always present. He, the creator of Brahmā, brings forth creation, having established eternal nature, the mother of the world. Nature, which is of the form of Brahman, is not different from him; by her, the eternal one creates. She is Nārāyaṇī, the supreme, eternal power of the Supreme Person and the Supreme Self. Now, dear child, go and perform the marriage; you are to act according to your father’s command. He who worships his own wife with garments, ornaments, and sandalwood paste—she, in the form of a woman, appears in every universe through her power of illusion. That divine woman, when worshipped, becomes a devoted wife and mother, faithful to her husband and children. She is the original nature, embodying the fullness of Brahman. She is the goddess presiding over the life-breath, belonging to Krishna, the Supreme Self. Lakshmi, beloved of Nārāyaṇa, is the embodiment of all prosperity. Savitri, the mother of the Vedas, is worthy of worship and dear to Brahma.” Thus ended the chapter named ‘Description of the Nature of the Lord’s Praise.’ With reverence, the next section began. Salutations were offered to Śrī Ganesha. Savitri, in the act of creation, is remembered as nature in fivefold form. The question arose: By whom did she appear, and who is she—the best among those who know? What is their story, and how is worship to be properly performed? Nārāyaṇa replied, “I will speak a little of what I have heard from the mouth of Dharma. The prefix ‘pra’ denotes excellence, and ‘kṛti’ signifies creation. In the scriptures, ‘pra’ indicates superior quality and excellence in sattva. She whose nature consists of the three qualities, endowed with all powers, is thus named. The prefix ‘pra’ comes first, and ‘kṛti’ means creation. By means of yoga, the self became twofold in the process of creation. She is of the nature of Brahman, eternal and everlasting illusion. Therefore, the supreme yogi does not consider the distinction between female and male. By the will of Śrī Krishna, who acts according to his own desire, and with his intention to create, the fivefold acts of creation occur in various forms. Ganeśa’s mother is Durgā, who is the form of Śiva and beloved of Śiva. She is always worshipped by Brahmā and the other gods, sages, and Manus.” Thus, the divine narrative unfolded, revealing the profound mysteries of creation, the nature of the Lord, and the eternal power of the goddess, as spoken by Nārāyaṇa and preserved in the sacred Purāṇa.
