Lord Mahadeva speaks “ Oh! Devi, I shall describe the people who should not be chosen as preceptor, 1) the person who creates false notion and illusion in their presence is not deserved to worship as a Guru, should be abandoned immediately and search for a true and courageous preceptor.  2) The people who oppose Veda, Vedanta, Shastra, are Pankhandi, and sinners, 3) people who promote unrest,  does not have belief in religious and spiritual rites, or does not have belief in Lord, 4) Bhedhabudhdhi/lack the sense of Oneness-in-all, Dhurachara/does not follow the rite or disciplines, 5) Sthreelampada/womanizer, Krithaghna/ungrateful, selfish, Bakavriththya/deceitful like the crane that stands on a single leg in the pond waiting for the prey like the people who create the wrong impression in others,  and reveal themselves as great teacher/knower of all before others, are not considered as a preceptor or not deserved to respect or worship, these kinds of people should be abandoned for good. Oh! Priye 6)Karmabhrashta who does not show any interest in the performance of customary rites or basic rite 7) impatient, the person who engages in constant conflicts and arguments 8) The person with excessive desire/Kami, Kopi/person who get angry without any reason, Ahmisasheela/person who torture others, Chanda, Kroora/cruel, Shata/dull-minded, Ajjani/lack of knowledge, Mahapapi/the person who commit grave sins, should not be considered as Guru. Oh! Deveshi, the Paramarththa Thaththva should be taught to the Mumukshu who yearn to achieve liberation from the miseries and sorrows of worldly existence and repeated births, sincere devotion is the supreme source to achieve fruitfulness in life. The Guru is Gooda/ is difficult to understand the nature of him because he is Sarvasanga Parithyagi/abandoned the association of people, Dhrida/courageous and firm, freely and fearlessly wander around, pleasant always, achieved the supreme state of Samadhi, remain serene and blissful always. The Guru Upadhesha is highly propitious, it removes the sins of the worshiper. Oh! Suvrithe, I get highly pleased with the ingredients offered to Gurudeva, the Gurupadhuka, Gurumudra, and Gurumanthra should be kept highly confidential.”

 

Goddess Parvathi speaks “Oh! Natha, I shall surrender Buddhi, Indhriya, Mana, Prana, Vacha, Karmana at your lotus feet, I shall repeatedly prostrate at your lotus feet which is the shelter place of Mumukshu who yearn to get rid of interest in worldly matters and bondage, impurities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Madha, and Mathshcharya, Body and I consciousness, and immerses in meditation and contemplation at your lotus feet and undertakes austerities and Tapsya to get rid of impurities, and protect themselves from the vicious cycles of rebirth, ultimately achieves union with the supreme Bhramam.”

 

Lord Mahadeva speaks “Oh! Priye, I shall describe the consequences of the Jeeva who is completely drenched in the material matters, richness, wealth, money, possession, fame, attachment to wife, children, companion, and relatives, /Laukikasukha, and also describe the need to abandon the same for the welfare of the world.”
