Chapter 7
In this way Markandeya bowed down to his parents and took leave of them and left for the east. In the middle of the way, they gathered towards Maharishi Narada, who was gathered in boundless majesty and whose body was equal to a snowball.
He set out from there and stood in front of him by the blessing of Muniputra. On seeing Narada, Markandeya humbly prostrated himself at his feet. Immediately Narada blessed him saying ‘You will be happy with Dirkayus’. Very happy with this. The recovering Markandeyar thought thus in his mind.
“Amazing! The result of which we are going to worship God has been achieved right here in the middle. The verse of blessings made by Brahmins in the world will never be false. It is like a shield that cannot be broken by anyone. Then we have achieved the blessings of Ithevarishi. Whoever has the vision of sadhus in the world, he will have a long life. Ashta Lakshmi You will get the Kadaksha. Utkrishta mana kirti will also arise. All his abhishta will be fulfilled. Sadhusangam is like Kalpaka Vriksha.”
With this thought in mind, Markandeyar, who was very happy, looked at Naradamaharishi and began to say Anjalipandanam with great reverence
O Naradamakarishi, the greatest of ascetics! Their darshan was given to me by Janmantara Bhagya Vasa. When I set out to worship God, I got their darshan, which is the reason for the fulfillment of my abhishta. O Dabothana! Bhagavata darshan like you will give results immediately. Devata darshan will give results after a long time. Sadhus have only one vision All the sins and sins are easily removed. The sadhus are wandering in all the holy forests and the holy places in the world These are the darshan of the people, the sambhashanam with them It is the cause of people’s salvation easily.”
Says Karunanidhiana Narada of Parin Munikumaran who says this. ” O Marak Kandeya ! I know your attitude. I will tell you a trick to fulfill your wish. God is the living being in the world.
He dwells in the minds of the people and gives the fruits befitting their karma. He who does auspicious deeds will never attain Durgati. O child! This is the truth. Now because of your father’s karma you have not reached Purnayul. Your father used to worship Sarveshvara with five unflowered sugarcane flowers. One should not worship God with flowers that have blossomed on the first day, those that have fallen down, insects that are infested with flowers, and bonds. Although your father was pious, he did not attain a son who was blessed because he did not worship Shiva with good flowers.
Just as the trees in the world produce flowers, fruits, and fruits at their respective times, the benefits and pains of the good deeds done by the living beings will necessarily occur at the appropriate time. However, Paramashiva, the savior of Pasupasa, will wash away the sins of his devotees and free them from karma. He alone, by his triune illusion, performs sirushti-sthith samharas and attains the name of Brahma Vishnu and Rudra. Without knowing this, people consider the trinity to be great
Hey Vatsa! May you attain a long life by worshiping Lord Siva, who is superior to Vishnu, and who is a deva, and who comes with three eyes.”
