[[chitr:Shiva-and-Sati.jpg|thumb|300|bhagavan shiv sati ko kandhe par uthakar sabhi dishaoan mean bhraman karate huye]]

• daksh prajapati ki kee putriyaan thi. sabhi putriyaan gunavati thian. par daksh ke man mean santosh nahian tha. ve chahate the unake ghar mean ek aisi putri ka janm ho, jo shakti-sanpann ho. sarv-vijayini ho. daksh ek aisi putri ke lie tap karane lage. tap karate-karate adhik din bit ge, to bhagavati adya ne prakat hokar kaha, 'maian tumhare tap se prasann hooan. maian svay putri roop mean tumhare yahaan janm dharan karooangi. mera nam hoga sati. maian sati ke roop mean janm lekar apani lilaoan ka vistar karooangi.' phalatah bhagavati adya ne sati roop mean daksh ke yahaan janm liya. sati daksh ki sabhi putriyoan mean alaukik thian. unhoanne balyakal mean hi kee aise alaukik krity kar dikhae the, jinhean dekhakar svayan daksh ko bhi vismay ki laharoan mean doob jana p da.
• jab sati vivah yogy huee, to daksh ko unake lie var ki chianta huee. unhoanne brahma ji se paramarsh kiya. brahma ji ne kaha, 'sati adya ka avatar haian. adya adishakti aur shiv adi purush haian. atah sati ke vivah ke lie shiv hi yogy aur uchit var haian.' daksh ne brahma ji ki bat manakar sati ka vivah bhagavan shiv ke sath kar diya. sati kailash mean jakar bhagavan shiv ke sath rahane lagian. yadyapi bhagavan shiv ke daksh ke jamata the, kiantu ek aisi ghatana ghati jisake karan daksh ke hriday mean bhagavan shiv ke prati bair aur virodh paida ho gaya. *ghatana is prakar thi— ek bar brahma ne dharm ke niroopan ke lie ek sabha ka ayojan kiya tha. sabhi b de-b de devata sabha mean ekatr the. bhagavan shiv bhi ek or baithe the. sabha mandal mean daksh ka agaman hua. daksh ke agaman par sabhi devata uthakar kh de ho ge, par bhagavan shiv kh de nahian hue. unhoanne daksh ko pranam bhi nahian kiya. phalatah daksh ne apaman ka anubhav kiya. keval yahi nahian, unake hriday mean bhagavan shiv ke prati eershya ki ag jal uthi. ve unase badala lene ke lie samay aur avasar ki pratiksha karane lage. bhagavan shiv ko kisi ke man aur kisi ke apaman se kya matalab? ve to samadarshi haian. unhean to charoan or amrit dikhaee p data hai. jahaan amrit hota hai, vahaan kaduvahat aur kasailepan ka kya kam?
• bhagavan shiv kailash mean din-rat ram-ram kaha karate the. sati ke man mean jijnasa utpann ho uthi. unhoanne avasar pakar bhagavan shiv se prashn kiya, 'ap ram-ram kyoan kahate haian? ram kaun haian?' bhagavan shiv ne uttar diya, 'ram adi purush haian, svayanbhoo haian, mere aradhy haian. sagun bhi haian, nirgun bhi haian.' kiantu sati ke kanth ke niche bat utari nahian. ve sochane lagian, ayodhya ke nripati dasharath ke putr ram adi purush ke avatar kaise ho sakate haian? ve to ajakal apani patni sita ke viyog mean dandak van mean unmattoan ki bhaanti vicharan kar rahe haian. vriksh aur lataoan se unaka pata poochhate phir rahe haian. yadi ve adi purush ke avatar hote, to kya is prakar acharan karate? sati ke man mean ram ki pariksha lene ka vichar utpann hua. sita ka roop dharan karake dandak van mean ja pahuanchi aur ram ke samane prakat hueean. bhagavan ram ne sati ko sita ke roop mean dekhakar kaha, 'mata, ap ekaki yahaan van mean kahaan ghoom rahi haian? baba vishvanath kahaan haian?' ram ka prashn sunakar sati se kuchh uttar dete n bana. ve adrishy ho gee aur man hi man pashchatap karane lagian ki unhoanne vyarth hi ram par sandeh kiya. ram sachamuch adi purush ke avatar haian. sati jab lautakar kailash geean, to bhagavan shiv ne unhean ate dekh kaha, 'sati, tumane sita ke roop mean ram ki pariksha lekar achchha nahian kiya. sita meri aradhya haian. ab tum meri ardhaangini kaise rah sakati ho! is janm mean ham aur tum pati aur patni ke roop mean nahian mil sakate.' shiv ji ka kathan sunakar sati atyadhik dukhi hueean, par ab kya ho sakata tha. shiv ji ke mukh se nikali huee bat asaty kaise ho sakati thi? shiv ji samadhisth ho ge. sati du:kh aur pashchatap ki laharoan mean doobane utarane lagian.

unhian dinoan sati ke pita kanakhal mean bahut b da yajn kar rahe the. unhoanne yajn mean sabhi devataoan aur muniyoan ko amantrit kiya tha, kiantu shiv ji ko amantrit nahian kiya tha, kyoanki unake man mean shiv ji ke prati eershya thi. sati ko jab yah jnat hua ki usake pita ne bahut b de yajn ki rachana ki hai, to unaka man yajn ke samaroh mean sammilit hone ke lie baichain ho utha. shiv ji samadhisth the. atah ve shiv ji se anumati lie bina hi virabhadr ke sath apane pita ke ghar chali geean.

• kahian-kahian sati ke pitrigrih jane ki ghatana ka varnan ek doosare roop mean is prakar milata hai— ek bar sati aur shiv kailash parvat par baithe hue paraspar vartalap kar rahe the. usi samay akash marg se kee viman kanakhal ki or jate hue dikhaee p de. sati ne un vimanoan ko dikhakar bhagavan shiv se poochha, 'prabho, ye sabhi viman kisake hai aur kahaan ja rahe haian?'
  

bhagavan shakanr ne uttar diya, 'apake pita ne yajn ki rachana ki hai. devata aur devaanganaean in vimanoan mean baithakar usi yajn mean sammilit hone ke lie ja rahe haian.'
sati ne doosara prashn kiya, 'kya mere pita ne apako yajn mean sammilit hone ke lie nahian bulaya?'
bhagavan shankar ne uttar diya, 'apake pita mujhase bair rakhate haian, phir ve mujhe kyoan bulane lage?'
sati man hi man sochane lagian, phir bolian, 'yajn ke avasar par avashy meri bahanean aeangi. unase mile hue bahut din ho ge. yadi apaki anumati ho, to maian bhi apane pita ke ghar jana chahati hooan. yajn mean sammilit ho looangi aur bahanoan se bhi milane ka suavasar milega.'
bhagavan shiv ne uttar diya,'is samay vahaan jana uchit nahian hoga. apake pita mujhase jalate haian,ho sakata hai ve apaka bhi apaman karean. bina bulae kisi ke ghar jana uchit nahian hota'
bhagavan shiv ne uttar diya,'haan, vivahita l daki ko bina bulae pita ke ghar nahian jana chahie, kyoanki vivah ho jane par l daki apane pati ki ho jati hai. pita ke ghar se usaka sanbandh toot jata hai.' kiantu sati pihar jane ke lie hath karati rahian. apani bat bar-bat doharati rahian. unaki ichchha dekhakar bhagavan shiv ne pihar jane ki anumati de di. unake sath apana ek gan bhi kar diya, us gan ka nam virabhadr tha. sati virabhadr ke sath apane pita ke ghar geean, kiantu unase kisi ne bhi premapoorvak vartalap nahian kiya. daksh ne unhean dekhakar kaha,'tum kya yahaan mera apaman karane aee ho? apani bahanoan ko to dekho, ve kis prakar bhaanti-bhaanti ke alankaroan aur suandar vastroan se susajjit haian. tumhare sharir par matr baghanbar hai. tumhara pati shmashanavasi aur bhootoan ka nayak hai. vah tumhean baghanbar chho dakar aur pahana hi kya sakata hai.' daksh ke kathan se sati ke hriday mean pashchatap ka sagar um d p da. ve sochane lagian, ‘unhoanne yahaan akar achchha nahian kiya. bhagavan thik hi kah rahe the, bina bulae pita ke ghar bhi nahian jana chahie. par ab kya ho sakata hai? ab to a hi gee hooan.'
pita ke katu aur apamanajanak shabd sunakar bhi sati maun rahian. ve us yajnamandal mean geean jahaan sabhi devata aur rrishi-muni baithe the tatha yajnakund mean dhoo-dhoo karati jalati huee agni mean ahutiyaan dali ja rahi thian. sati ne yajnamandap mean sabhi devataoan ke to bhag dekhe, kiantu bhagavan shiv ka bhag nahian dekha. ve bhagavan shiv ka bhag n dekhakar apane pita se bolian, 'pitrishreshth! yajn mean to sabake bhag dikhaee p d rahe haian, kiantu kailashapati ka bhag nahian hai. apane unaka bhag kyoan nahian diya?' daksh ne garv se uttar diya, 'mai tumhare pati kailash ko devata nahian samajhata. vah to bhootoan ka svami, nagn rahane vala aur haddiyoan ki mala dharan karane vala hai. vah devataoan ki pankti mean baithane yogy nahian haian. use kaun bhag dega.

• sati ke netr lal ho uthe. unaki bhauanhe kutil ho geean. unaka mukhamandal pralay ke soory ki bhaanti tejoddipt ho utha. unhoanne pi da se tilamilate hue kaha,'oh! maian in shabdoan ko kaise sun rahian hooan, mujhe dhikkar hai. devatao, tumhean bhi dhikkar hai! tum bhi un kailashapati ke lie in shabdoan ko kaise sun rahe ho, jo mangal ke pratik haian aur jo kshan matr mean sanpoorn srishti ko nasht karane ki shakti rakhate haian. ve mere svami haian. nari ke lie usaka pati hi svarg hota hai. jo nari apane pati ke lie apamanajanak shabdoan ko sunati hai, use narak mean jana p data hai. prithvi suno, akash suno aur devataoan, tum bhi suno! mere pita ne mere svami ka apaman kiya hai. maian ab ek kshan bhi jivit rahana nahian chahati.' sati apane kathan ko samapt karati huee yajn ke kund mean kood p di. jalati huee ahutiyoan ke sath unaka sharir bhi jalane laga. yajnamandap mean khalabali paida ho gee, hahakar mach gaya. devata uthakar kh de ho ge. virabhadr krodh se kaanp ute. ve uchhl-uchhalakar yajn ka vidhvans karane lage. yajnamandap mean bhagad d mach gee. devata aur rrishi-muni bhag kh de hue. virabhadr ne dekhate hi dekhate daksh ka mastak katakar pheank deya. samachar bhagavan shiv ke kanoan mean bhi p da. ve prachand aandhi ki bhaanti kanakhal ja pahuanche. sati ke jale hue sharir ko dekhakar bhagavan shiv ne apane apako bhool ge. sati ke prem aur unaki bhakti ne shankar ke man ko vyakul kar diya. un shankar ke man ko vyakul kar diya, jinhoanne kam par bhi vijay prapt ki thi aur jo sari srishti ko nasht karane ki kshamata rakhate the. ve sati ke prem mean kho ge, besudh ho ge.
• bhagavan shiv ne unmat ki bhaanti sati ke jale hie sharir ko kandhe par rakh liya. ve sabhi dishaoan mean bhraman karane lage. shiv aur sati ke is alaukik prem ko dekhakar prithvi ruk gee, hava rook gee, jal ka pravah thahar gaya aur ruk geean devataoan ki saanse. srishti vyakul ho uthi, srishti ke prani pukarane lage— pahimam! pahimam! bhayanak sankat upasthit dekhakar srishti ke palak bhagavan vishnu age badhe. ve bhagavan shiv ki besudhi mean apane chakr se sati ke ek-ek aang ko kat-kat kar girane lage. dharati par ikyavan sthanoan mean sati ke aang kat-katakar gire. jab sati ke sare aang kat kar gir ge, to bhagavan shiv punah apane ap mean ae. jab ve apane ap mean ae, to punah srishti ke sare kary chalane lage.
• dharati par jin ikyavan sthanoan mean sati ke aang kat-katakar gire the, ve hi sthan aj shakti ke pith sthan mane jate haian. aj bhi un sthanoan mean sati ka poojan hota haian, upasana hoti hai. dhany tha shiv aur sati ka prem. shiv aur sati ke prem ne unhean amar bana diya hai, vandaniy bana diya hai.
