Hear now the sacred tale as revealed in the verses: The son of Agni, known as the slayer of Brahmins, was born of fire, and through his actions, many lives were lost. It was foretold that metals would arise from his very body, a sign of his unique nature, and there was no doubt in this prophecy. Witnessing the deeds of his son, Agni was moved. Together with Suvarṇa, he approached me, O goddess, seeking guidance and protection for his child. Agni pleaded, “O Śaṃkara, this son of yours must be protected by you. If you are pleased, O great god, he will surely attain his destined goal.” Hearing these heartfelt words from the Pitṛ-devas, I was filled with affection. I took the son of Agni into my lap, offering him comfort and acceptance. With compassion, I said, “O highly fortunate one, I grant you a boon—choose a splendid blessing. By my command, you shall attain the highest good.” To the son, I promised, “O son, the auspicious Mahākālavana shall remain undestroyed, even at the time of dissolution. Merely by seeing this sacred forest, great sins are removed, and radiance is bestowed. It will be a place of supreme merit, purity, and difficult to attain. By your grace, those who are deformed shall become beautiful. All sacrifices, fasts, pilgrimages, offerings of rice-balls, and the like will be accomplished through you. You will have lordship over all kinds of jewels.” Thus addressed, O great goddess, the divine son of Agni, radiant in form, was named. Gold is called suvarṇa by its sign, and by destiny, it is called kāṃcana. “O son of Agni, you must always remain near me,” I instructed. Receiving these words, the son of Agni became exceedingly pure. Radiance shone forth from gold, and he was encircled by a garland of flames. Whoever worships Śiva, lord of the golden flame, with devotion, receives endless prosperity, the power of giving, and blessed descendants. No matter what sin a person commits—whether knowingly or unknowingly—the rewards of offering funeral rice at Gaya, the merit gained by reciting the Gayatri a hundred thousand times, and the fruits of giving all kinds of gifts according to the prescribed rules, all accrue to those who worship Svarnajvaleshvara on the fourteenth day. Protected by the gods, O Devi, and by various groups of divine beings, by my grace that supreme linga is revealed. Merely by seeing it, one attains the heavenly realm. In the ancient Varaha Kalpa, the pure devarshi Narada wandered in a beautiful garden and grove, adorned with wish-fulfilling trees. The air resounded with the music of veena and flute, attended by gods and gandharvas. Joyful praise rose from gods, siddhas, charanas, and kinnaras in the auspicious realms such as Brahmaloka, realms possessing incomparable qualities. Narada, the great sage, was questioned by Vasava, O Devi, about the delightful Mahakala forest, which always brings joy and auspiciousness. Those worlds that witness the holy Mahakala forest are blessed, for here the god himself stands, surrounded by all groups of beings. On earth, Naimisha is holy and destroys all sins. Yet, Prayaga is declared ten times greater, fulfilling all desires. Thus is the sacred account, flowing from the divine lips and preserved in the verses, a tale of blessings, purity, and the supreme grace of Mahākālavana and Svarnajvaleshvara.
