―O guileless Lord!‖ said Bhagwaan Vishnu. ―It is just as well that you have not seen that
form. After visualising that form, you will forget Mahaadevi Paarvati, the fabulous
Kailaash and everything and only worship Mohini…full stop. Mahaadevji! It was only to
stop the war between Devas and the Demons that I took the enchanting form: we have
met today after a long while, that is good. Pray tell me is all well?‖
―No Lord!‖ said Shankar: ―Till I get to see the Mohini form, till then I will remain
anxious. In that form even if the three worlds are enchanted, the achiever of victory over
Kaam – the Mahaadev cannot be enchanted. Give me vision of hat form.‖
―SadaaShiv!‖ Bhagwaan Vishnu said laughingly: ―You may have conquered Kaam, but
that ash turned Kaam dev is still victorious intact in the cosmos. In that form of mine
there was immense attraction, after seeing it even you ….‖
―- then show me that form of yours.‖
―Bhagwaan, you have just arrived. Stay for a few days as my guest in Vaikunth. When
we get some time, then I will certainly show you that form of mine.‖
―Very well,‖ saying thus Mahaadevji became silent. Days passed pleasantly in Vaikunth
immersed in chatting and small comforts. Mahaadevji was so engrossed in the hospitality
of Bhagwaan, he almost forgot why he had come to Vaikunth.
On the evening of the third day, Bhagwaan Shankar said to Vishnu: ―Bhagwaan, if you
permit I will go for fresh air in gardens.‖
―As you wish, also request Mahaadevi Paarvatiji to partake.‖
Taking permission, seated on the Nandiji Shiv Paarvatiji went to roam in the gardens of
Vaikunth. Mild cool fragrant air was flowing, the gardens were filled with fragrant and
colourful flowers and amazing birds. The sun of the dusk rushing to meet the periphery of
earth. Spring had like descended with all its splendour in the gardens.
―Lord, may we have rest here,2 said Paarvatiji as they arrived in a vast court in the
middle of the gardens.
―As you wish,‖ said Mahaadevji alighting from Nandiji. Shankar and Paarvatiji were
observing the beauty of the gardens in all the directions.
Mahaadevi got engrossed listening to the sounds of Swans, Kaarandav, Chaatak, Chakor
and Peacocks, whereupon in the eastern direction, just like the sixteen fold beautiful
brilliance of the moon like light was seen by Shankar.
--And within the light was seen a woman clad in light clothes dancing with a ball! That
for was bewitching, her tap of the feet was rhythmic; there was charm in her smile, in her
expression there was imbedded streak of victory over the three worlds.
Whereas Paarvatiji was at the nearby lovely lake feeding the swans with pearls, at the
same time Bhagwaan Shankar without a flick of the eyes observing the whimsical skilful
beat of her anklets.
She was approaching with a light walk, as if dancing with the invisible beat of the light
breeze. From her light clothes, her beauty was overflowing. As she was drawing near, so
was was Shankar‘s attention drawing more eager to see her.
The Lord‘s enchanting Maayaa is extraordinary. Today Mahaadevji got trapped in the
enchanting wheel. Aat times hiding in the leafy veils of the trees, at times tossing the ball
in the air that young maiden was drawing in front. Drawing nearer she tossed the ball
flowers to Bhagwaan Shankar. Feeling the light ball on his body, Lord Shankar lost
consciousness. He did not realise where he was. He got up from his posture of lotus
position and did not even recollect Paarvatiji was with him. And he ran after the maiden!
