Devi in the Linga Purana

Us gay mein batiis gun the. Woh Ishwari thi, har taraf dekhne wali. Brahma ne use dekha aur pahchana, yeh Mahadevi hai, Maheshwari hai. Yeh Shiv ki shakti hai jo sab chalati hai.

Mahadev ne kaha, aa aa, Mahadevi. Haath jod ke khade ho gaye. Bole, yog se poori duniya ko apne mein le le. Saari duniya ko apne haath mein kar le.

Brahma ne maha devi ka japa kiya, jise sab duniya namaste karti hai. Phir woh dhyan lagake Mahadev bhagwan ki sharan mein gaye.

Ambika ke pati aap ko naman. Uma ke pati aap ko naman. Aap ke haath sona jaise chamakte hain. Aap ka beej sona jaise hai, aap sabse alag ho.

Us time se lekar aaj tak, sab jagah Ling ki puja chal rahi hai. Yeh puja pakki ho gayi hai. Ling ki vedi yani Mahadevi hai, aur Ling khud Maheshwar hai. Yeh seedha darshan hota hai, koi baat chhupi nahi hai.

Bhagwan, aap Rudra hain, aapki maya badi hai. Aapne apni marzi se in dono ko banaya hai. Jab inhone yeh baat kahi, to Bhagwan khush ho gaye. Unhone inki baat suni aur inka samman kiya.

Isliye Brahma aur Mahadevi se paida hua. Hari bhi aaya, woh bhi unhi ka hissa tha. Use ande se paida hua kehte hain, aur kamal se bhi. Woh Shiv ke shareer se nikla tha.

Bhagwan ne Vama shakti ko bulaya, jo left side ki shakti hai. Raudri shakti bhi aayi, jo Rudra jaisi tez hai. Mahamaya aayi, jo sabko maya mein rakhti hai. Vaishnavi aayi, Vishnu ki shakti, jiske aankhein kamal jaisi hain. Kala aayi jo…

Woh Yaksh wahan se gayab ho gaya. Usi waqt Uma aayi, Himavan ki beti, jiska chehra bahut achha hai. Usne sona aur gehne pehne the, woh chamak rahi thi.

Jab devtaon ko pata chala ki woh Yaksh Uma hai, woh sabse badi shakti hai. Indra aur sab devtaon ne usko pranaam kiya. Woh sher jaisi chalti hai, laal, safed aur kala rang mein chamakti hai.

Mahamaya gussa mein aa gayi thi. Usne rakshas paida kiye. Usne Rudra gan bhi banaye. Woh ek gaay aur bhains jaisi dikhti thi. Woh badi devi thi.

Bhagwan mein badi taakat hai, badi chamak hai. Woh hamare andar rehte hain, hamare dil mein. Janwaron ke beech rehte hain, sab janwaron ke malik hain. Unke honth latak rahe hain, woh pakke hain, hilte nahi. Woh Maya ke malik hain, jaise…

Jis Mahadevi ki baat pehle hui thi, woh yahan Sati bani. Yeh duniya ke liye achha tha. Daksh ne pehle is devi ki puja ki thi.

Woh khyati hai, log uska naam jaante hain. PraGYa hai, samajhdari wali. Log use Gauri kehte hain, duniya mein mashhoor hai. Ganon ki maa hai, badi devi hai. Nandini hai, Jatavedasi hai. Yeh sab uske naam hain.

Jab Dvapar yug khatam hone wala tha, us waqt Devi ke chaar naam the. Kalaratri, Mahamaya, Revati, aur Bhutanayika. Yeh sab naam uske hain jo sab praniyon ki raksha karti hain.

Mahadevi ki shakti mein do main cheezein hain. Ek hai gyaan, doosri hai sampatti. In dono se hazaaron Deviyan jagah bhar mein faili hain.

Bhagwan, aapki ek nazar se teen sheher aur teen duniya bhi jal jaati hai. Ambika ne khel-te khel-te ek pal mein teer jala diya. Phir woh teer chhoot gaya. Aapki shakti aisi hai, aankh uthate hi kaam ho jata hai.

Rudra ke upar Mahadev hai, jo Om naam se bhi jaana jaata hai. Ling ke neeche Devi hai, jo teen gun ki maata hai.

Aage tamas ki murti rakho. Beech mein Ambika Devi ko bithao. Dakshin taraf paanch bhoot rakho aur paanch sukshm tatva bhi.

Yeh mahadevi dono cheezein deti hai, duniya ki khushi aur mukti bhi. Apne bhakton ko bina mehnat ke deti hai. Mera paap jaldi se jaldi saaf kar de.
