The story of Alaksmi and Jyeṣṭhā – The Deity of Misfortune

Liṅga Mahāpurāṇa

षष्ठोऽध्यायः
ṣaṣṭho’dhyāyaḥ

Chapter 6
The story of Alakṣmi


SYNOPSIS

This story, narrated by the sage Sūta, reveals the origin and nature of Jyeṣṭhā, the goddess of misfortune, and her role in the cosmic order as established by Lord Viṣṇu.

The Creation of Jyeṣṭhā and the Dual Forces of the Universe

  • Lord Viṣṇu, the eternal, omniscient creator and preserver of the universe, manifested two opposing aspects to balance creation:

    • Auspicious forces, represented by the Brāhmaṇas (priestly class), Vedas (sacred knowledge), virtues, Padmā (the lotus goddess), and Śrī Lakṣmī (the goddess of prosperity and fortune).
    • Inauspicious forces, represented by Jyeṣṭhā (misfortune), Alakṣmī (inauspiciousness), and sin, which symbolize negativity and chaos.
  • The inauspicious goddess Jyeṣṭhā was created first, making her the elder (hence the name Jyeṣṭhā). After her creation, Viṣṇu brought forth Padmā (Lakṣmī), the embodiment of auspiciousness, who later became his consort. This duality symbolizes the interplay between fortune and misfortune in the universe.

Jyeṣṭhā's Marriage to Sage Duḥṣāha

  • A sage named Duḥṣāha, attracted by Jyeṣṭhā despite her inauspicious nature, married her.

  • Together, they roamed the earth, but Jyeṣṭhā could not bear the atmosphere of auspicious places, such as:

    • Homes filled with the chanting of Vedic hymns.
    • Areas where sacrifices were performed, or the smoke of yajñas (rituals) rose.
    • Places where Viṣṇu and Śiva were worshipped with devotion.
  • In such environments, Jyeṣṭhā would close her eyes and ears in fear and discomfort. Her behavior left Duḥṣāha confused, and he sought guidance from the wise sage Mārkaṇḍeya.

Sage Mārkaṇḍeya's Counsel

  • Mārkaṇḍeya explained that Jyeṣṭhā was destined to thrive only in inauspicious and impure environments. He advised Duḥṣāha to take her to places where negativity and chaos prevailed.

  • He listed places suitable for Jyeṣṭhā's presence, such as:

    • Homes where family members quarrel constantly.
    • Residences devoid of devotion to Viṣṇu, Śiva, or Vedic rituals.
    • Houses with uncleanliness, neglect of religious duties, or sinful activities.
    • Places where selfishness, dishonesty, and moral decay were rampant.
    • Areas marked by heretic practices or the absence of respect for teachers, elders, or the divine.
  • Conversely, Mārkaṇḍeya detailed places that Jyeṣṭhā must avoid:

    • Homes of virtuous and devout individuals.
    • Places where the chanting of divine names, offerings, and sacred rites occur regularly.
    • Residences of those who follow dharma (righteousness) and engage in acts of selflessness and purity.

Jyeṣṭhā's Separation from Duḥṣāha

  • Following Mārkaṇḍeya’s guidance, Duḥṣāha eventually left Jyeṣṭhā at a cottage near a tank, intending to find a more suitable place for them in the underworld (Pātāla).
  • Feeling abandoned and destitute, Jyeṣṭhā appealed to Lord Viṣṇu for sustenance and shelter.

Lord Viṣṇu's Decree

  • In response to Jyeṣṭhā’s plea, Lord Viṣṇu granted her the right to reside in the wealth, homes, and possessions of those who:
    • Neglected worship of Śiva and Viṣṇu.
    • Disregarded Vedic rituals and dharma.
    • Engaged in sinful or immoral behavior.
  • Viṣṇu further decreed that devotees of Śrī Lakṣmī, Viṣṇu, and Śiva must offer propitiation to Jyeṣṭhā to ensure her absence from their homes.

The Role of Jyeṣṭhā in the Cosmic Order

  • Jyeṣṭhā’s existence serves as a reminder of the consequences of neglecting spiritual duties, morality, and devotion.
  • Her presence represents misfortune and inauspiciousness, but her power is limited by the strength of faith and righteous conduct.
  • Viṣṇu’s devotees acknowledge her presence and offer small sacrifices to ensure that she does not disturb their prosperity and peace.

Moral and Spiritual Lessons

  • The tale emphasizes the duality of fortune and misfortune, showing that both have a purpose in maintaining balance in the universe.
  • Devotion to Viṣṇu and Śiva, adherence to dharma, and the performance of sacred rites are essential to ward off inauspiciousness.
  • The narrative serves as a cautionary tale against neglecting spiritual practices and living a life of disorder and sin.

Conclusion and Blessing

  • Sūta concludes the story by highlighting its spiritual merit:
    • Those who narrate, read, or listen to this story with devotion are relieved of sins, gain wealth, and ultimately attain mokṣa (liberation).
    • The story thus serves as both a warning and a guide for leading a righteous and harmonious life.

Chapter 6


ऋषय ऊचुः
मायावित्यं श्रुतं विष्णोर्देवदेवस्य धीमतः । 
कथं ज्येष्ठासमुत्पत्तिर्देवदेवाज्जनार्दनात्॥१॥ 
वक्तुमर्हसि चास्माकं लोमहर्षण तत्त्वतः ।

kathaṃ jyeṣṭhāsamutpattirdevadevājjanārdanāt||1|| 
vaktumarhasi cāsmākaṃ lomaharṣaṇa tattvataḥ |

The sages said-
O Lomaharṣaṇa, the Māyā of intelligent Viṣṇu - the lord of the Devas, has been listened to. How did Jyeṣṭhā - the deity of misfortune, originated from Viṣṇu - the lord of the Devas? It would be in the fitness of things in case you narrate the story about the same.

Sūta said-
In order to delude the universe, the glorious lord Viṣṇu, who is without beginning or end and is the lord of the universe, created the two-fold aspects of the universe. Viṣṇu created one set consisting of the Brāhmaṇas, Vedas, Vedic virtues, Padmā and   Śrī Lakṣmī. The god of the great refulgence made another set comprising of Jyeṣṭhā, Alakṣmī, the base of me, excluded from the Vedic sphere as well as the sin. It was after creating Alakṣmī at the outset that Viṣṇu created Padmā. Therefore, Alakṣmī is Jyeṣṭhā (the elder). O excellent Brāhmaṇas, at the outcome of nectar soon after the terribly potent poison, the inauspicious Jyeṣṭhā was born. It is so heard. Thereof, Śrī Padmā was born, who subsequently became the wife of lord Viṣṇu.

A Brāhmanical sage Duḥṣāha married the inauspicious Jyeṣṭhā after seeing her fully stabilised. Accompanied with her, the delighted sage wandered all round the world. O Brāhmaṇas, wherever there was a loud chanting sounds of the names of Viṣṇu and  Śiva - the great souls, wherever there was a loud sound of the Vedic hymns, wherever there was a big column of smoke from sacrifices and wherever there were people with their limbs smeared with ashes, the deity of misfortune was extremely frightened. She used to close her ears and eyes here and there. On seeing Jyeṣṭhā thus behaving, Duḥṣāha became confused and bewildered. Accompanied by her, he went to the forest. In the terrible forest, he performed a great penance. The girl Jyeṣṭhā roamed from house to house. The pious sage, who was a leading yogin, devoted to the yogic practices and possessed perfect wisdom, once saw the noble sage Mārkaṇḍeya, arriving in the forest. Bowing down to the great sage, he said to him- "O great sage, my wife does not pull on well with me in any way. O Brāhmana Muni, what shall I do with this wife? Where should I enter and where should I not?"

Mārkaṇḍeya said-
"All such places. She would enter all such places, which are inauspicious and full of disrepute, Alakṣmī, (misfortune), Atula (unbalanced), and Jyeṣṭhā (the eldest). By no means should she enter the places of the noble souls who are devoted to Viṣṇu following the Vedic path, as well as the devotees of Rudra having dusted and smeared their bodies with ashes.

By no means should she enter the precincts of parks, cowpens, wealth and the abodes of such delighted Brāhmaṇas, Kṣatriyas, Vaiśyas and Śūdras, who offer prayer to Nārāyaṇa, Hṛṣīkeśa, Puṇḍarīkākṣa, Mādhava, Acyuta, Ananta, Govinda, Vāsudeva, Janārdana, Rudra, devotees of Rudra, or the places of tapas for Śiva or where salutation is offered to the auspicious Śiva, Mahādeva, salutation to the consort of Umā, to the lord of gold. Salutation to you with golden arms, salutation to bull-bannered lord, Narasimha, Vāmana, the incomprehensible one, O Mahādeva.

Lord Viṣṇu's discus is quite terrible with a cluster of flames that resembles a thousand suns, dispelling people's inauspiciousness forever.

Avoid the house where there is Svāhākāra or Vaṣaṭkāra and go elsewhere. Discard from a distance the places where there is a loud chanting of the Sāmana hymns where the people are engrossed in chanting the Vedic hymns and where the people are engaged in repeating the Sāmana hymns, devoted to the rituals of their deity and the houses where the worshippers of Vāsudeva are present.

Avoid the persons or the houses where the holy Agni hotra is performed, where the liṅga is worshipped, and the places where the images of Vāsudeva and Caṇḍikā are present. Avoid persons who are free from all the sins and move away from them. Avoid the devotees of Maheśvara by means of obligatory and conditional yajñas. O Duḥṣāha, go elsewhere, where along with the lady, you must disown these persons by whom the Brahmā well-versed in Śrutis, cows, preceptors, guests, and devotees of Rudra are always worshipped.

Mārkaṇḍeya said-
Getting relieved of fear and together with your wife, you can enter the houses, where the husband and wife are at loggerheads and where the Brāhmaṇas well-versed in the Vedic lores, as well as the cows, preceptors are never found present. Completely fearlessly, you can enter the place where Rudra - the lord of Devas, Mahādeva, the lord of the three worlds, is disposed. O dear one, in company with your wife, enter the house where there is no devotion to Vāsudeva, Sadāśiva, japams, and homas are not performed or the ashes are not applied over the bodies, where Rudra is not worshipped on the fourteenth and eighths days of the dark fortnights, where the people do not apply bhaṣma. They are not devoted to Viṣṇu and are associated with evil women or wicked men. Together with your wife, you shall enter the houses of even those who do not repeat their salutation to Kṛṣna, to Sarva, to Śiva and Parameṣṭhī. 

तत्रैव सततं वत्स सभार्यस्त्वं समाविश ॥ ३७ ॥

vedaghoṣo na yatrāsti gurupūjādayo na ca |

Accompanied by your wife, you should enter those places where there is no loud sound of the chanting of the Vedic hymns, where the preceptors are not worshipped or the places where the people do not worship their ancestors.

गृहे यस्मिन् कलहो वर्तते मिथः ।

gṛhe yasmin kalaho vartate mithaḥ |

Devoid of fear and accompanied by this lady, always enter the house where there is always a mutual quarrel between the inmates every night.

लिङ्गार्चनं यस्य नास्ति यस्य नास्ति जपादिकम् ।

liṅgārcanaṃ yasya nāsti yasya nāsti japādikam | 
rudrabhaktirviniṃdā ca tatraiva viśa nirbhayaḥ || 40||

Fearlessly enter a place where there is a liṇga that is not worshipped and men do not perform japa and where Rudra is not adored with devotion.

Accompanied by your wife, you enter the house where there is no preceptor and which is deprived of a Vaiṣnava or a cow.

You enter with delight, together with your wife, to a place where the people eat food without giving it to the children, who keep on watching the same.

अनभ्यर्च्य महादेवं वासुदेवमथापि वा ।

anabhyarcya mahādevaṃ vāsudevamathāpi vā |
ahutvā vidhivadyatra tatra nityaṃ samāviśa || 43 ||

Always enter the place where the people do not worship Mahādeva, Vāsudeva, or perform the sacrifices in a proper manner.

पापकर्मरता मूढा दयाहीनाः परस्परम्।
गृहे यस्मिन्समासंते देशे वा तत्र संविश ॥ ४४ ॥

pāpakarmaratā mūḍhā dayāhīnāḥ parasparam|
gṛhe yasminsamāsaṃte deśe vā tatra saṃviśa || 44 ||

You can delightfully enter with your wife at a place where the people are indulged in sinful activities and the cruel people have no co-operation among themselves. You should enter such a house.

प्राकारागारविध्वंसा न चैवेड्या कुटुंबिनी ।

prākārāgāravidhvaṃsā na caiveḍyā kuṭuṃbinī |
tadgṛhaṃ tu samāsādya vasa nityaṃ hi hṛṣṭadhīḥ || 45 ||

Reaching those places, where the damsels of the houses never keep secrets and destroy the domestic felicity, is never worthy of praise. Always stay there with a delighted mind.

Together with your wife, you enter the house where there is a single maidservant, three cows, five buffaloes, six horses, or seven elephants; you enter the house with your wife, of the person, whose household deity is Kālī Dākinī of the form of a ghost or a kṣetrapala - guardian of a center; you can enter the house freely wherein the image of Buddhist mendicant or a Buddhist anchorite or the statue of Buddha is found installed. The house of the people who do not recite the names of Viṣṇu when going to bed, taking up a seat, or moving about in the course of their activities like taking food, etc., would belong to you. Enter such houses accompanied by your wife.

In the company of your wife, you enter the place where the people are engaged in heretic activities or the people excluded from the sacred rites prescribed in the Vedas, Smṛits, or the persons devoid of the devotion to lord Viṣṇu, the people who denounce Mahādeva, atheists, and knaves. You can enter with your wife abodes of such persons who do not adore the Pināka bearing lord or consider him as an ordinary god. It is only the wicked who do not say that the Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Indra - the ruler of the gods, are all born by the grace of Rudra. Only the foolish people of deranged minds would say that the glow worm or the sun are equals. They would say that Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Indra are equal to lord Śiva. Even when their houses are full and flourishing, enter them without fear and enjoy yourself with your wife.

Enter the houses of the people who unite with the women during the daytime, who do not recite scriptures on festive occasions, or who unite with their wives during the evening time or in the water. You enter the houses of such people with your wife. You enter the house of a person who cohabits like the dogs or animals in the water. You enter the house of the degraded people who cohabit with a woman in period, or a Cāṇḍālī woman in a cowpen. What is the use of excessive talk, you enter the house in which the daily auspicious rites are not performed or are devoid of the devotion of Rudra; you enter the house of the people who cohabit with the artificial liṅga or by applying artificial medicines over the liṅga. Enter the houses of such people."

Once Duḥṣāha said to her- "You live at the bank of this tank in the cottage because I shall enter Pātālaloka. I shall reach for a suitable place for both of us to dwell and shall return to you." At this, Jyeṣṭhā said- "What shall I do here? Who will feed me here?" At the words thus spoken by Jyeṣṭhā, the sage replied to her.

बलिभिः पुष्पधूपैश्च न तासां च गृहं विश। 
इत्युक्त्वा त्वाविशत्तत्र पातालं बिलयोगतः ॥८०॥ 
अद्यापि च विनिर्मग्नो मुनिः स जलसंस्तरे । 
ग्रामपर्वतबाह्येषु नित्यमास्तेऽशुभा पुनः॥८१॥

balibhiḥ puṣpadhūpaiśca na tāsāṃ ca gṛhaṃ viśa|

adyāpi ca vinirmagno muniḥ sa jalasaṃstare | 
grāmaparvatabāhyeṣu nityamāste’śubhā punaḥ||81||

"You never enter the houses of the ladies who will adore you offering incense, flowers, and fragrance." Thus speaking, the sage entered Pātāla through an anthill, where the sage lives even today at the water level. The inauspicious goddess Jyeṣṭhā always wanders over the mountains, outside the villages.

प्रसङ्गाद्देवदेवेशो विष्णुस्त्रिभुवनेश्वरः ।
लक्ष्म्या दृष्टस्तया लक्ष्मीः सा तमाह जनार्दनम् ॥ ८२ ॥
भर्ता तो महाबाहो बिलं त्यक्त्वा स मां प्रभो ।
 अनाथा जगन्नाथ वृत्तिं देहि नमोस्तु ते ॥ ८३ ॥

bhartā to mahābāho bilaṃ tyaktvā sa māṃ prabho |
anāthā jagannātha vṛttiṃ dehi namostu te || 83 ||

As a matter of chance, lord Viṣṇu was present there with Lakṣmī, who spotted Alakṣmī. Then, she spoke to Janārdana or Viṣṇu- "O lord, my husband has entered Pātāla through the snake hole leaving me as destitute. O Lord of the universe, salutation to you. You kindly arrange for my daily food."

ityukto bhagavānviṣṇuḥ prahasyāha janārdanaḥ |

Sūta said-
At this, lord Janārdana, lord Mādhava, the lord of all gods, lord Madhusūdana, replied.

श्रीविष्णुरुवाच

Lord Viṣṇu said-
"Such of the people who do not adore the sinless Rudra, Śarva, Nīlalohita, Śiva, and Haimavatī - the mother of the universe, besides my devotees, those who denounce Mahādeva and adore me, all their riches belong to you. Lord Śiva, by adoring whom, both myself and Brahmā exist, the riches of my foolish devotees belong to you. Such of the people who are envious of me, denounce me, are not my devotees, and do not worship me like my devotees, belong to you. Their | riches, the fields, crops, and all the noble deeds done by me, belong to you. The digging of the tanks and wells also belongs to you."

Sūta said-
Thus speaking, lord Viṣṇu, accompanied by Lakṣmī, left the place. Then lord Viṣṇu meditated upon Śiva, for the destruction of Alakṣmī. Since that time, the devotees of Viṣṇu, also make offerings to Alakṣmī. O Brāhmaṇas, the ladies should adore Alakṣmī, making various types of offerings to her. One who narrates the story of Alakṣmī or reads it or reads it out to the excellent Brāhmaṇas, he is relieved of all the sins and becomes rich. He ultimately achieves mokṣa.
