Goddess Uma’s concluding the description of vratas and performing of vrata by the spouses of Shri Krishna





Uma said — A woman devoted to her husband when gets desirous of virtuous kiths and kins, she should take food once a day on the seventh day of a fortnight.

After the completion of a year, she should give away a tree in gold to the Brahmana and by so doing she achieves the pleasent and virtuous relatives.

A virtuous woman who donates a lamp under a wild tree (Galedapa arborea) for a year, she should after a year give away a lamp of gold.

Such a woman with her beautiful grace becomes beloved of her husband and achieves the son. She attains the highest place among the co-wives, and becomes resplendent like the lamp.

О beautiful one, a woman, who daily takes food last of all, does not hurt the heart of others, does not remain without food, follows the path of nobility always, always practices good conduct, remain daily devoted to the parents-in-law, what is the use of performing of the vratas for such a woman? Or what is the use of vratas for her. The one who adores the husband like the god, follows the noble dharma possessing the noble virtues, (her life becomes a success).

O lady with beautiful waist, the chaste lady, who due to the move of destiny becomes a widow, the conduct to be observed by her as per the provisions of the Puranas is being related by me.

She should conceive her husband in a clay figure or a painting and adore it, keeping in mind the conduct of the noble people.

Such a woman following the excellent conduct, should receive command from her husband’s figure, for taking food etc.

In case she does not obeys the command of her husband, then she reaches the loka of her husband and illuminates in the heaven like the chaste Sandill.

From today onwards I shall visualise the method of the Punyakavidhi as prescribed in the Puranas.

The chaste Narada also shall be well- versed in the method of the performing of Punyakavrata.

О excellent daughter of the moon, yourself, Aditi and IndranI shall also know about the same, with the performing of the same vrata. At the begining of Punyaka and other vratas, the chaste and virtuous woman like you and other chaste women shall always be remembered.

During all the incarnations of Visnu, his wives, shall be well versed with the method of the performing of the Punyaka vrata, correctly.

In all the dharmas or in the dharma of the women, the devotion towards the husband and lack of misconduct, not to speak the foul language - all the three have been praised.

Narada said — О goddess, at these words of the goddess Parvati, all the virtuous women were filled with delight, offered their salutation to Parvati, the beloved of Siva, went back to their respective abodes.

You listen to the vrata performed by the virtuous Aditi. Aditi followed the entire procedure which had been spelt out by the goddess Uma.

She bound the sage Kasyapa with the Parijata tree, gave him to me in my hand. This is known as Aditivrataka. The way Aditi had performed the vrata, the method was followed by Satyabhdma.

Savitri — the religious minded woman, had also performed the same vrata giving away the charities. Comprising of all the means, in the evening time which is considered to be the best.

On the arrival of the evening time, when one performs piija, salutation, and the recitation, yields double the merit.

A chaste woman by performing Savitri- Vrata and Aditi-vrata, redeems not only herself but also the entire races of her in­laws, as well as the parents.

IndranI too performed the Vrarta high­lighted by the goddess Uma, appropriately. The special feature of the vrata had been that the red garment and suitable food with other essential items were also given.

The charities are also prescribed for the fourth day of the Punyaka-vrata. After fasting for a night, a hundred pitchers should be given away.

О Rukmini, you enhance the grace, Ganga too performed the same Punyaka vrata as spoken by Uma giving away the charities. The only addition in this case had been that she used to take bath in her own water or some other water, during the month of Mdgha, in the bright fortnight. This Ganga vrata fulfills all the desires, it is believed.

О beloved of Hari, a religious minded lady observing the Ganga-vrata, redeems seven generations of the families of her parents and the parents-in-law.

О auspicious one, in the Ganga-vrata а thousand horses should be given away in charity. This vrata grants all the desires, relieves one of all the mesiries, and fulfills all the desires.

О beloved of Hari, the wife of Yama had organised a vrata named Yamaratha, which had to be performed in the open in the winter season.

О auspicious one, a woman with examplary conduct, should offer salutation to her husband after taking her bath, and should recite the following passage in the open.

“Bearing the load of snow over my back, I am performing the Yamaratha vrata, it is my desire that I should be devoted to my husband, having long life, mother of sons, and the foremost of the women.

My superiority should be established over the co-wives, I should not face Yama and should enjoy life with my husband and sons for long comfortabley.

At the end I should achieve the loka of my husband, and should increase the delight of my family and race. All my costumes should be neat and clean, I should have an auspicious hand. I should be dear to all my relatives, possessing all the virtues.”

Thus completing the vrata, she should make the Brahmana to recite the welfare mantras, serving him with Payasem mixed with honey and the black sesame seeds.

О goddess with divine lustre, beloved of Hari, in this way the goddess had performed these vratas as speltout by the goddess Uma, in earlier times.

О goddess, I emphasise that the virtuous, worthy and auspicious vratas had been witnessed by the goddess Uma, in ancient times, all of them shall also be witnessed by you with the strength of my tapas. You will also perform these vratas.

Vaishampayana said — О king, because of the.boon granted by the goddess Uma, Rukmini was bestowed with the divine sight who witnessed the vastness of the vratas, thereafter, she herself performed a vrata.

She performed everything according to the Vrata of the goddess Uma, but she gave away much more then Uma in charities in the form of bulls, garlands of gems, besides the giving away of food, which gets all the desires fulfilled.

Jambavati too did similarly, as was done by Uma earlier. But she gave away the charities of the tree of gems, bigger then her.

Satya too also gave away charities as resorted to by Uma, after performing the vratas, but she laid more stress on giving away, the yellow garments inexcess.

О king the increases of the race, in ancient times Rohini, Phalguni and Magha too had also performed many Vratas and charities.

О son of Kuru race, Satabhisa too, also performed the vrata which yields merits, as a result of which she became the foremost of the constellations.

Here ends chapter — 81, of Visnu Parva of the Harivarnsa Purana a supplementary to the epic of the Mahabharata, relating to the concluding of Goddess Uma’s descreption of vratas and performing of these vratas by the spouses of Sn Krishna. (Vrs.1-44, P.T. = 7673)
