While the Devas, with Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Indra at their head, were proceeding towards Mount Kailasa as narrated in the preceding chapter, the great sages, Sanaka, Sanatkumara, Sanatana and Sanandana had arrived at Kailasa to receive instructions from Lord Siva, regarding the fourfold path to Self-realisation i.e., Yama, Niyama, Yoga and Samadhi. The Lord explained to them the various details of these four stages, and by way of demonstrating the last stage, viz., Samadhi, He Himself remained in it, completely absorbed in Supreme Silence (Maha Mouna). Thus He showed the Rishis that the last stage is not to be explained but to be realised actually in that state of Supreme Silence.

At this critical juncture, the Devas along with Indra, Brahma and Vishnu entered the hills and were stopped from proceeding further by Nandi Deva, who explained to them how it was not a suitable time to see the Lord.

Atharvaveda

The four sages Sanak,Sanandan,Sanatan,Sanat were learned Brahmins. They were the sons of Lord Brahma. They were very proud of their father, Brahma because he was the creator of the holy books, Vedas. They were aware of three Vedas,- Rigved,Yajurved, and Samveda and considered that the whole knowledge is complete in these three books.On the other hand Sage Atharva approached Lord Shiva to get approval of his knowledge which he gathered from the universe using his divine powers. Lord Shiva, impressed by his creation and blessed Sage Atharva that his book of knowledge would constitute the list of Vedas and will be called as ‘Atharvaveda’. When this news reached the sons of Lord Brahma, they protested as according to them the other three Vedas was a complete set of knowledge and there was no need of fourth Veda. They argued with Lord Shiva and challenged his authority to certify a fourth Veda. Finally it was decided that whether to certify a fourth Veda or not depends upon the result learned debate. Goddess Saraswati was appointed as judge. The four Sages fired too much and too complicated questions to Lord Shiva and they were very confident of their victory as they underestimated Lord Shiva. But Shiva, who is the Lord of all the supreme knowledge, answered each and every question. The Sages accept their defeat gracefully and ask for forgiveness. Since then Artharva Veda was added to the list of Vedas, making the total four. The Sages went to their brother Prajapati Daksha who was bitter rival of Lord Shiva. On listening about the defeat of his four brothers, he cursed them to be small children. After that the four sages turned into small children. Since the sages were very learned, they thanked their brother for the curse because after becoming children their urge for learning would be greater.
