Bhagawatham-04-Daksha yagnam,Dhruva charitham


"Om namo Bhagawathe Vasudevaya"
"Gurave sarva lokanam,bhishaje bhava roginam
Nidhaye sarva vidyanam, Sree Dakshinamoorthaye namah:"


Swayambuva Manu and Satrupa had three daughters,namely Ahuti,Devahuti and Prasuti and two sons namely,Priyavrata and Uttanapada. Ahuti was given to Sage Ruci and Devahuti was married to Kardama Muni, in whom Kapiladeva Bhagwan blessed with His avataram and His Advises.Prasuti was married to Daksha Prajapati,the veritable son of Brahma.Prasuti and Daksha begot 16 beautiful lotus-eyed daughters, thirteen of whom were married to Dharma , one married to Agni and one given to the forefathers,and one named Sati was married to Lord Siva,on the recommendation of Brahma.Daksha having offended by Siva for not showing respect in the Sacrifice Yagna cursed Siva and his Ganas and later held the Brihaspathisama yagna for which he did not send any invitation to Siva. But Sati took part in the Yagna and she found that there was no Havirbhaga for Siva and started accusing Daksha and finally distroyed her physical body in the fire. Siva got angry and send ganas to destroy the yagna and Daksha beheaded in the war. Later Yagna Narayana appears in the scene and restores peace.

Manu's son,Uttanapada had two queens namely, Sunithi and Suruchi. Sunithi's son was named Dhruva and Suruchi's san was named Uttam . One day when Dhruva came to sit on the lap of the King,Suruchi drove him away and said if he want to sit on the lap of the king he has to take birth in her. Dhruva comes crying to his mother when she consoles him by saying that the real Father is Lord Vishnu. Then Dhruva sets out to find the Lord. Narada becomes his Guru who guides him to the penance. After five months of rigorous penance Drhuva at the age of 5, gets the Darshan of the Lord .

There is description of King Dhruva's ruling the country and his successors. Then the story of Prithu Maharaj attempting the 100th Aswamedha yagna which was throttled by Indra and at the end, Lord Vishnu appearing before Prithu Maharaj,because of whom our earth is known as PRITHVI.Prachetas the children of Prachinabarhis are blessed by Lord Siva, rendering his song.There is the purnjanopakyanam to follow before the chapter ends
