पुराणम्
English
जैगीषव्य / JAIGĪṢAVYA. A hermit who attained salvation by the strength of his penance.
It is stated in harivaṁśa Chapter 18, that three daughters, Aparṇā, ekaparṇā and ekapāṭalā were born to Himālaya by menā and the hermit devala married ekaparṇā and the hermit jaigīṣavya married ekapāṭalā. In mahābhārata, śānti Parva, Chapter 229, mention is made that this hermit gave much advice to the hermit devala, son of asita, about the need for equanimity. On another occasion this hermit talked to yudhiṣṭhira about the glory of śiva. (M.B. anuśāsana parva, Chapter 18, Stanza 37).
There is a story about how this hermit jaigīṣavya attained the world of brahmā. Once he reached the hermitage of devala, who showed the necessary hospitalities. After a few days this hermit disappeared. After that he used to be seen only at the time of meals. Once devala took his waterpot and went by air to the sea, to fetch water. When he reached the sea he saw jaigīṣavya bathing there. devala had gone when jaigīṣavya was in the hermitage. How did he reach the sea before devala? devala filled the pot and returned thoughtful. When he reached the hermitage jaigīṣavya was there. After this devala travelled through the world of the inspired sages. Wherever he went, he saw jaigīṣavya. He asked the inspired sages how it was possible. They praised the attainments, jaigīṣavya had obtained, by his ‘tapas’ (penance). Finally in the sight of everybody, jaigīṣavya flew to the world of brahmā. (M.B. śalya Parva, Chapter 50).
It is mentioned in mahābhārata, Sabhā Parva, Chapter 11, Stanza 24, that this hermit jaigīṣavya sits in the palace of brahmā and carries on meditation and contemplation on brahmā.
