ॐ सहस्त्र शीर्षाः पुरुषः सहस्त्राक्षः सहस्त्र-पातस-भूमिग्वं सव्वेत-स्तपुत्वा यतिष्ठ दर्शागुलाम्। आगच्छ वैष्णो देवी स्थाने-चात्र स्थिरो भव।।
Shri-Dhar Maa Durga ka param bhakt tha, wo bahut hi gareeb tha. Ek baar Shri Dhar ko svapan mein Maa durga ke darshan hue Shri Dhar Maa durga ke us svapan ko dekhakar itana prabhaavit hua ki usane Maa durga ka bhandaara karane ka nirnay kiya, lekin gareeb hone ke kaaran wo mohalle ke logon ko bhandaara karaane mein ashakt tha.
ek din Shri Dhar ne shubh muhoort dekhakar devi ka bhandaara karane ka nirnay kiya aur aas pados ke gaanv vaalon ko nimantran de aaya jaise-jaise din peetane lage wo bhiksha Maagane jaata aur bhandaare ke lie saaMaa ikaththa karana shuroo kiya lekin jitane bhojan kee aavashyakata thee utana raashan nahin juta pa raha tha.
isee tarah din beetata gaya aur bhandaara ka din aa gaya, us din Shri Dhar ko neend bhi nahin aai aur unhone Devi ke saamane apni aankhen band kar leen aur ab sochane lage ki main sabako kaise khilaoonga.
bhakt Shri Dhar Mata durga se vinatee karane laga kee he Maa meri madad karen, isee dauraan gaanv ke kuchh log bhandaare ke lie aane lage aur jaise-jaise sab usake jhopadee mein baithane lage Shri Dhar kee chinta bhi badhane lagi parantu kuchh samay pashchaat use aashchary hua ki ki itanee chhotee jhopadee mein itane log baithe hain hai phir bhi jhopadee mein baithane ke lie kaaphee jagah bachee hai aur bhandaar grah mein dekhane par use pata chala saare bartan bhojan se bhare hue hain aur bhojan bartanon mein apane aap bhar raha hai.
Is adbhut ghatna ko dekh kar sabhi log hairaan rah gaye, tab bhakt Shri Dhar ne ek chhotee see bachchee ko apni kutiya mein sabako khilaate hue dekha, use yah jaanane mein der nahin lagi ki wo ladakee koi aur nahin balki khud Maa durga thee.
jab is ghatana kee soochana aaj pados ke logon ko lagi to Bhairav Naath naamak ek saadhu ko shak hua ki yah koi divy kanya hai, us kanya ke baare mein jaanane ke lie wo saadhu kanya ka peechha karane laga.
Bhairav Naath ko dekh Devi tejee se bhaagane lagi, Bhairav Naath bhi unaka peechha karane laga. tab Devi kanya roop mein vaayu roop mein badalakar trikuta parvat kee or ud chalee.
aisee Maayata bhi hai kee jab Devi Bhairav Naath se bachakar ja rahe the to bhagavaan hanuMaa unakee raksha ke lie Bhairav Naath se ladane lage tabhi pavan putr hanuMaa ko pyaas lagi to Mata se aagrah karane par Mata ne dhanush dvaara pahaad par baan chalaakar jal prakat kiya aur usee jal mein apane kesh dhoe.
jab Devi bhaagate bhaagate thak gaee to ek sthaan par ruk kar peechhe mudakar Bhairav Naath ko dekhane lagi usee sthaan par Maa durga kee charano ke nishaan ban gae, is sthaan ko charan paaduka naam se pooja jaata hai.
kanya roopee Mata ne Bhairav Naath ko samajhaane kee koshish kee parantu jab wo nahin Maaa to Mata usase bachane ke lie usee parvat kee gupha mein jaakar chhip gaee, is gupha mein Devi durga 9 maheene tak chhupee rahi.
is gupha ke baahar hanuMaa jee ne 9 maheene tak pahara diya aur Devi kee raksha kee. jab Bhairav Naath ne kanya ka ka peechha nahin chhoda to ek saadhu woaan se gujar rahe the unhonne bhi Bhairav Naath ko samajhaane kee koshish kee ki jise tum kanya samajh rahe ho wo jagat Mata Devi durga hai. parantu Bhairav Naath ne unakee baat nahin Maaee aur usee ko pa ke baahar 9 maheene tak khada raha.
kaha jaata hai ki Devi durga us gupha kee doosaree or se maarg banaakar nikal gaee, tabhi se is gupha ko arddhakumaaree ya aadi kumaaree aur garbh joon naam se jaana jaane laga.
jab Maa durga gupha se baahar nahin nikalee to bhairav naath gupha mein ghusane kee koshish karane laga, yah dekh pahara de rahe hanuMaa krodhit ho gae aur Bhairav Naath ko yuddh ke lie lalakaara. hanuMaa aur bhairav naath ka yuddh bahut samay tak chala yuddh ka koi ant nahin hote dekh Mata durga ne mahaakaalee ka roop dhaaran kar Bhairav Naath ka sar dhad se alag kar diya. yah bhi kaha jaata hai ki vadh ke baad Bhairav Naath ko apni moorkhata par pachhataava hua aur ve Maa durga se maafi Maagane lage.
Mata vaishno ko Bhairav Naath par daya aatee hai isalie unhonne Bhairav Naath ko maaph kar diya aur unhen poorv janm ke chakr se mukti pradaan kee isake saath hee Bhairav Naath ko varadaan diya ki koi bhi bhakt jo mere darshan ke lie aata hai, jab wo aapako bhi darshan karega, to use mere darshan ka phal milega.
