(Holy Basil plant.

General information.

罢耻濒补蝉墨 is a plant held most sacred by the Hindus. There is a Pur膩峁噄c background for 罢耻濒补蝉墨 attaining this spiritualistic importance. In fact it is 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨, wife of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, who had herself taken the form of 罢耻濒补蝉墨. There is a story about it in Devi 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补.

The curse of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨.

厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, 骋补峁単腻 and 尝补办峁�m墨 were all, in the beginning, wives of 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. The Lord loved all the three equally. One day all the four were sitting together when 骋补峁単腻 sent lustful glances at 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 which was immediately noticed by both 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 and 尝补办峁�m墨. 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 got angry and rising up caught hold of the hair of 骋补峁単腻 and dragged her to the ground. 尝补办峁�m墨 then caught hold of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 to prevent further assault but 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 then poured all her rage on 尝补办峁�m墨 and cursed her to be born as a plant on earth. 骋补峁単腻dev墨 could not bear this and she cursed 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 to be born as a river on earth. 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 retorted with a curse that 骋补峁単腻 also would be born as a river. When the whole tumult was over 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 called 尝补办峁�m墨 to his side and said鈥�"Oh 顿别惫墨, do not worry. Things have happened as predestined. You go and be born as the daughter of Dharmadhvaja and grow up there. From there by divine grace you will be transformed into a plant sacred enough to make all the three worlds pure. That plant will be named 罢耻濒补蝉墨. When you will be thus living as 罢耻濒补蝉墨, a demon named 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 with part of my virile strength will be born and he will marry you. Then you can come back to me. The holy river 笔补诲尘腻惫补迟墨 will also be another form of your spirit."

The story of Dharmadhvaja.

Who was this Dharmadhvaja to whom was born 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 as a daughter? In times of old there was a Manu called 顿补办峁�a蝉腻惫补谤峁噄 who was extremely virtuous and a part of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Descending from 顿补办峁�a蝉腻惫补谤峁噄 were 叠谤补丑尘补蝉腻惫补谤峁噄-顿丑补谤尘补蝉腻惫补谤峁噄-搁耻诲谤补蝉腻惫补谤峁噄-顿别惫补蝉腻惫补谤峁噄-滨苍诲谤补蝉腻惫补谤峁噄 痴峁涐梗补诲丑惫补箩补. This last named was a great devotee of 艢颈惫补 and because of his great affection for this devotee 艢颈惫补 lived a whole period of a devayuga in the 腻艣谤补尘补 of 痴峁涐梗补诲丑惫补箩补. King 痴峁涐梗补诲丑惫补箩补 by an edict prohibited the worship of any other deity than 艢颈惫补 in his country. Even the worship of 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 ordained by the Vedas during the month of 叠丑腻诲谤补 (September) became extinct. All Y膩gas and worship of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 came to a stop. 厂奴谤测补 (Sun-god) got angry at this belittling of other gods than 艢颈惫补 and cursed the King 痴峁涐梗补诲丑惫补箩补 that he would cease to be prosperous. 艢颈惫补 did not like it and he went to punish 厂奴谤测补 holding his trident in his hand. 厂奴谤测补 was frightened and he approached his father 碍补艣测补辫补. 碍补艣测补辫补 and 厂奴谤测补 went to 叠谤补丑尘腻 and acquainted him with all details. 叠谤补丑尘腻 also was helpless in the matter and so all the three of them went to 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. They prostrated before 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 and told him all. At that time 艢颈惫补 also came there. Addressing all of them 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 said "Oh, Devas, within this half an hour twentyone yugas have passed by on the earth. He about whom you have come to speak to me is dead and gone. Even his son Rathadhvaja is dead. The latter has two sons named Dharmadhvaja and 碍耻艣补诲丑惫补箩补. They are dull and splendourless now because of the curse of 厂奴谤测补 and are now worshipping 尝补办峁�m墨." Saying thus 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 disappeared.

Birth of 罢耻濒补蝉墨.

Dharmadhvaja and 碍耻艣补诲丑惫补箩补 did penance to propitiate 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨. 碍耻艣补诲丑惫补箩补 had a wife named M膩l膩vat墨. She bore a daughter named 痴别诲补惫补迟墨. 厂墨迟腻, wife of 艢r墨 R膩ma, was a rebirth of this 痴别诲补惫补迟墨.

King Dharmadhvaja had a wife named 惭腻诲丑补惫墨. 惭补丑腻濒补办峁�m墨 entered her womb as an embryo and after a hundred years 惭腻诲丑补惫墨 gave birth to a daughter. Even at the time of birth the child looked like a matured girl and was extremely pretty. She was therefore, called 罢耻濒补蝉墨, meaning matchless. (Tula=match). This 罢耻濒补蝉墨 abandoning all worldly pleasures went to Badarik腻艣谤补尘补 and started doing penance there with the prayer that 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 should become her husband. She did penance for twentyfour thousand years sitting amidst fire in the hot season and sitting in water in the cold season and taking only fruits and water as food. Then she did penance for another thirtythousand years eating leaves only, another forty thousand years taking air only as food and another ten thousand years without any food. At this stage 叠谤补丑尘腻 appeared and asked her the object of her Penance. She replied she wanted 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 to be her husband. Hearing this 叠谤补丑尘腻 said thus鈥�"Devi, you know the cowboy 厂耻诲腻尘腻 born of a part of 艢r墨 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. That brilliant cowboy has now been born on earth, due to a curse of 搁腻诲丑腻, as a demon named 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚. He is matchlessly eminent and has once fallen in love with you seeing you at Goloka. You will become his wife and later you can become the wife of 狈腻谤腻测补峁嘺. At that time a part of your divine body will remain on earth as a plant named 罢耻濒补蝉墨. 罢耻濒补蝉墨 will become the most sacred of all plants, dear to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻, and all worship without using 罢耻濒补蝉墨 leaves would be ineffective."

Marriage of 罢耻濒补蝉墨.

Due to a curse of 搁腻诲丑腻, 厂耻诲腻尘腻, the cowboy, was born on earth as a demon named 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚. He did penance sitting at Badarik腻艣谤补尘补 and obtained 痴颈峁ａ箛耻kavaca. Another object of his was to marry 罢耻濒补蝉墨. He obtained a boon from 叠谤补丑尘腻 that his death would occur only when the 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 Kavaca was removed from his body and the chastity of his wife was lost. At that time 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 and 罢耻濒补蝉墨 met each other in the forests and were married. 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚, brilliant and majestic, went about with 罢耻濒补蝉墨 in amorous sports creating jealousy even among the devas. His arrogance gave innumerable troubles to the devas and they along with 叠谤补丑尘腻 and 艢颈惫补 approached 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 for a remedy. 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 then sent 艢颈惫补 with his spike to kill 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 and he himself started to molest the chastity of his wife 罢耻濒补蝉墨. 艢a峁卥hac奴da took leave of 罢耻濒补蝉墨 to go and fight with 艢颈惫补. When 罢耻濒补蝉墨 was thus left alone, 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 in the form of 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 approached 罢耻濒补蝉墨 and after some preliminary talks entered into sexual acts. 罢耻濒补蝉墨 found some difference in the usual sexual methods and suspecting foul play jumped up to curse the impostor. At once 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻 appeared in his true form and said "You have been doing penance for a long time to get me as your husband. Your husband 艢补峁卥丑补肠奴岣峚 was the chief of my 笔腻谤峁�a诲补蝉, 厂耻诲腻尘腻. It is time for him to go back to Goloka getting himself released from the curse. By this time 艢颈惫补 would have killed him and he would have gone to Goloka as 厂耻诲腻尘腻. You can now abandon your body and come with me to 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 to enjoy life as my wife.

Your body will decay and become a holy river named 骋补峁囜笉补办墨; your hair will become 罢耻濒补蝉墨 plant the leaves of which will be held sacred in all the three worlds."

罢耻濒补蝉墨 then changed herself into the form of 尝补办峁�m墨 and went to 痴补颈办耻峁囜弓丑补 with 惭补丑腻惫颈峁ａ箛耻. (9th Skandha, 顿别惫墨 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补).

The greatness of 罢耻濒补蝉墨.

Everything of the 罢耻濒补蝉墨 plant, leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, twigs, skin and even the soil around is holy. The soul of a dead one whose dead body is cremated using 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twigs for firewood would attain a permanent place in 痴颈峁ａ箛耻loka. Even great sinners would be absolved of their sins if their dead bodies are cremated with 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twigs. If at the time of death one thinks of God and mutters His name and if his dead body is later cremated with 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twigs, he would have no rebirths. Even he who has done a crore of sins would attain 尘辞办峁�a if at the time of cremating his dead body a piece of 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twig is placed at the bottom of the funeral pyre. Just as all waters become pure by the union with 骋补峁単腻 water, all firewood is made pure by the addition of a small piece of 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twig. If the dead body of one is cremated using 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twigs alone, one鈥檚 sins for a crore of Kalpa years would be washed away. 驰补尘补诲奴迟补蝉 would keep away from one whose dead body is cremated with 罢耻濒补蝉墨 twigs and servants of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 would come near. If a light is burnt for 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 with a 罢耻濒补蝉墨 stick it would be equal to burning several lakhs of lights for 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. If one makes the 罢耻濒补蝉墨 leaves into a paste and smears it on one鈥檚 body and then worships 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 for one day, one would be getting the benefit of a hundred ordinary worships and also the benefit of doing a hundred 驳辞诲腻苍补蝉. (gifts of cows). (Chapter 24, Padma Pur膩峁嘺).
