successful, Lord Brahma

told sage Vashistha to go
to the Chandrabhaga
mountain and instruct her
in tapas. Sage Vashistha
went to her taking the
form of a brahmachari
luminous with tapas and
enquired about her
purpose. She revealed her
purpose and also sought
instructions from the
brahmachari for
performing tapas. The
brahmachari instructed
her to meditate on Lord
Shiva and repeat the
mantra "Om Namah
Shankaraya Om". He also
told her to observe
silence and take bath
while worshipping Hara.
During the first and
second sasthakalas she
should only take water.
During the third
sasthakala she should
observe complete fast.
The tapas: Receiving the
instructions from the
brahmachari, Sandhya
started performing tapas
on the bank of
Brihallohita lake. She
meditated on Lord Shiva
and recited the mantra
given to her. In this way
four yugas elapsed.
Shiva giving darshan:
After four yugas have
elapsed in tapas, Lord
Shiva displayed His form
to her both from within as
well as outside on the
sky. Sandhya became
nervous thinking about
how to pray to Lord
Shiva. Lord Shiva entered
her heart and bestowed
divine knowledge, divine
speech and divine vision.
Becoming endowed with
divine knowledge
Sandhya eulogized Lord
Shiva.
Shiva granting boon:
Hearing her eulogy, Shiva
became pleased and told
her to ask for a boon.

Sandhya asked the first

boon that no living being
should have lustful
feelings immediately after
birth. She asked the
second boon that no
woman in the three
worlds should match her.
She asked the third boon
that none of her creations
should be lustful. If any
person (apart from her
husband) looked at her
with lust, he will go
towards his own downfall
and become an eunuch.
Shiva granted these
boons and also told her
that her husband would
be a great ascetic and will
live with her for three
kalpas.
Giving up her body:
Sandhya decided to give
up her present body in
tapas. For this Lord Shiva
told her to go to the place
on the bank of river
Chandrabhaga where sage
Medhatithi was
performing the great
Jyotistoma yagya
spanning twelve years,
and then enter into the
fire of the yagya. Shiva
told her that she will be
invisible while entering
the fire. Thereafter she
will be born as the
daughter of sage
Medhatithi. While
entering the fire she
should remember the
boons sought by her. As
per the instruction of Lord
Shiva Sandhya gave up
her body by entering into
the fire of yagya. While
entering she sought the
brahmachari (sage
Vashitha in that form) as
her husband.
Birth as daughter of
Medhatithi: At the end of
the yagya, sage
Medhatithi got a girl from
within the fire whose
complexion was like
molten gold. Sage
Medhatithi delightfully

took up the girl and gave

her the name Arundhati.
The girl started growing
up as the daughter of
sage Medhatithi at
Tapasaranya on the bank
of river Chandrabhaga.
Marriage with sage
Vashistha: When she
grew up, Lord Brahma,
Vishnu and Shiva married
her to sage Vashistha. A
huge marriage ceremony
was held. From the hands
of Brahma, Vishnu and
Mahesha, the water that
was dropped formed
seven rivers like Shipra
etc.
