katha

ek bar vipadagrast devata bhagavan shankar ke pas ge. us samay bhagavan shiv ke pas svami kartikey tatha ganesh bhi virajaman the. shivaji ne donoan balakoan se poochha- 'tum mean se kaun aisa vir hai jo devataoan ka kasht nivaran kare?'

tab kartikey ne svayan ko devataoan ka senapati pramanit karate hue dev raksha yogy tatha sarvochch dev pad milane ka adhikari siddh kiya. yah bat sunakar shivaji ne ganesh ki ichchha janani chahi. tab ganeshaji ne vinamr bhav se kaha- 'pitaji! apaki ajna ho to maian bina senapati bane hi sab sankat door kar sakata hooan.'

yah sunakar hansate hue shiv ne donoan l dakoan ko prithvi ki parikrama karane ko kaha tatha yah shart rakhi- 'jo sabase pahale poori prithvi ki parikrama karake a jaega vahi vir tatha sarvashreshth devata ghoshit kiya jaega.'

yah sunate hi kartikey b de garv se apane vahan mor par chadhakar prithvi ki parikrama karane chal die. ganeshaji ne socha ki choohe ke bal par to poori prithvi ka chakkar lagana atyant kathin hai isalie unhoanne ek yukti sochi. ve 7 bar apane mata-pita ki parikrama karake baith ge. raste mean kartikey ko poore prithvi mandal mean unake age choohe ke pad chihn dikhaee die. parikrama karake lautane par nirnay ki bari aee. kartikey ji ganesh par kich d uchhalane lage tatha svayan ko poore bhoomandal ka ekamatr paryatak bataya. is par ganesh ne shiv se kaha-'mata-pita mean hi samast tirth nihit haian isalie maianne apaki 7 bar parikramaean ki haian.'

ganesh ki bat sunakar samast devataoan tatha kartikey ne sir jhuka liya. tab shankaraji ne unmukt kanth se ganesh ki prashansa ki tatha ashirvad diya- 'trilok mean sarvapratham tumhari pooja hogi.' tab ganeshaji ne pita ki ajnanusar jakar devataoan ka sankat door kiya.

yah shubh samachar janakar bhagavan shankar ne apane chandrama ko yah bataya ki chauth ke din chandrama tumhare mastak ka sehara (taj) banakar poore vishv ko shitalata pradan karega. jo stri-purush is tithi par tumhara poojan tatha chandr arghyadan dega. usaka trividhi tap (daihik, daivik, bhautik) door hoga aur eshvary, putr, saubhagy ko prapt karega. yah sunakar devagan harshatirek mean pranam kar aantardhan ho ge.
