पुराणम्
Englishधीरधी / DHĪRADHĪ. A brahmin devotee of śiva. He lived in kāśī. Because he meditated on śiva alone, śiva was pleased with him and helped him in various ways.
The gaṇas of śiva were amazed at Śiva's partiality for dhīradhī. Paramaśiva told them the story of the former birth of dhīradhī. “This Brahmin was a swan in his former life. Once he was flying over a lake when he became tired and fell down. His colour became black. Then Kamalinī, another swan who dwelt in the same lake told him to recite the tenth Chapter of gītā, and to meditate on śiva. Because the swan did that holy act, he was born a Brahmin in his next birth. Though he was a Brahmin in his previous birth, he kicked his teacher and for that fault he had to take birth as a swan. Later, because of the love of śiva, dhīradhī attained heaven. (padma purāṇa, uttara Khaṇḍa, Chapter 184).
