Vyāsa, listen closely, for I have no doubt in my mind: those who depart from this world, regardless of their condition, journey to the realm of Rudra. Even if they have not dwelt in sacred places or followed strict observances; even if they are mute, dull, blind, deaf, or lacking in austerity and discipline—when their time comes and they pass away, they too reach Rudra’s world. There, they are blessed with bodies of divine form and enjoy all pleasures. Long ago, at that sacred site, there was a quarrel between Śiva and Gaurī. Once, the goddess was reviled as Kālī and Pārvatī, and thus discord arose between them. To resolve this, a pit was created and named the Destroyer of Quarrels. At this holy place, whoever bathes and worships the great Lord, or offers even a fragment of sandalwood as a gift, attains great merit. If one donates land there—even a cow, a single wish, or a finger’s breadth of earth—or gives a horse, sesame seeds, cloth, a vessel, or a copper milking pot to the Brahmins, their worlds become inexhaustible, their blessings unending. Here dwells the goddess who removes the sins of all worlds. Whoever bathes at this site and respectfully beholds the backs of the mothers, then continues on his path, finds himself freed from afflictions—whether in his own land or another, on mountains or in forests, and from all troubles caused by planets, kings, and other fears. If a Brahmin addresses the goddess there, he attains his desired fruits. Bathing before her grants the highest accomplishment. If one bathes with a pot filled with fruits before the goddess, following the proper rites, a son is born to him, just as the six-faced god was born. Whoever bathes there becomes endowed with beauty, good fortune, and prosperity. King Purūravas, the descendant of Ila, obtained these blessings; it was he who established the site and gained its favor. Now, you ask how Purūravas won the celestial nymph as his wife. Hear the true tale: While Nara and Nārāyaṇa were residing at Badarikāśrama, Indra, king of the gods, grew fearful. He instructed those assembled to create obstacles for the two sages. Arriving to hinder them, the gods found Nara and Nārāyaṇa deep in conversation. After their discussion, Nara spoke to Nārāyaṇa. With the blossom of a mango tree, he fashioned a woman, her thighs as graceful as a lady’s. When she emerged, radiant like fire and of exquisite beauty, Śakra (Indra) heard of her and approached the gods, expressing his desire: “I wish for this woman; let her favor be granted.” By the power of their words, they bestowed her upon Indra, naming her Urvaśī, for she arose from the mango blossom. Indra then ascended to heaven and summoned Citrāngada, instructing him to train Urvaśī quickly and well. She became skilled, excelling in dance and song, and thus dwelt in the mansion of the gods, her beauty and talents celebrated by all.
