Shiva Purana is the ultimate source of human transformation and epitome of liberation. The sanctified Shiv Kathasagar is an immense ocean of knowledge and wisdom. Suta further in discussion with Saunaka narrated the story of Cancula. In the horrid city of Baskala where virtues are forbidden and sinful people reside, Binduga was one such brahmin who lead the most wicked life and ignored his wife Cancula. She initially was subservient to her husband but as he lead a sinful life in company of other women she took the same path in youthful lust. After sometime she started earning from her cheap life and this was with great support of her husband. After Binduga passed away and as she became old Cancula went on a pilgrimage to Gokarna where she happened to hear the Shiva Purana. She was at once disillusioned and felt detached realising all her dark sins and fell at the feet of the Scholar who was reciting the story and asked him to show a way for salvation which would be discussed in the next Chapter. It is only the nectar called Shiva Purana which helps us to take ablutions in the Sadhana holy like Ganges. It makes us dear to Shiva and Amba.
Jai Shivji Maharaj!
