Mahabharatha episode - 24

 

The Suta said: “Hearing all the Nagas speak their words and these words of Vasuki, Elapatra addressed them and said: "Neither this sacred sacrifice nor the victory of the Pandavas, which is the cause of all our great fear, can be stopped." King! A man afflicted by a deity should only appeal to God, otherwise nothing else will come to his rescue.

O Pannagasattam! This fear of all of us is also God-given. The refuge of God is the only way for us. Listen to these words of mine. O Pannagasattama! When the curse was pronounced against us, I sat on my mother's lap in fear. Then I heard the Lord say, "This is very sharp! Very sharp!" Then that great light, sorrowful, went to the father and said:

The gods said: “Father! God of gods! What other mother, let alone Kadru, could curse her beloved sons so harshly in front of you? "Father! We heard you say, 'Let it be so, too.' We want to know the reason why you did not stop it." Brahma said: "There are many poisonous snakes, fierce and fierce. For the sake of all the people, I did not stop her."

Only those who are always prone to biting, who bite even at the smallest things, and who have a lot of poison, are the ones who will be destroyed. Not the righteous. When that time comes, ask how the serpents will attain salvation from their great fear. In the clan of Yayava, a great sage, renowned as Jaratkar, is born, brilliant, disciplined, and wise.

His son, a great ascetic named Astika, who is born in Jaratkaru, stops this sacrifice and releases the religious serpents.” The gods said: "God! To whom will the great and virtuous son of that sage, great ascetic, Jaratkaru be born?" Brahma said: “O gods! That virile Dwijasattam will have a son as virile as himself from a wife who bears his own name.”

Elapatra said: “The gods said to the father, “So be it.” Having said all this to the gods, the father of the gods departed. Vasuki! I see your sister, who is known as Jaratkaru. To remove the fear of the serpents, give her to that sage Suvrata, who is wandering around begging for a wife. I have heard that this is the key to our salvation.”

9 . The love story of Ruru.

Suta said: “Brahmin! Bhargava Chyavana got a son named Mahatma Diptatejasa Pramati from Sukanya. Pramati got a son named Ruru from Ghritachi. Ruru got a son named Shunaka from Pramadwara. Brahmin! Now I will tell in detail the whole story of that Bhuritejasa Ruru. Listen to the story without leaving anything out. In the past there was a famous sage called Sthulakesha. Hey the bramhin! At the same time we know that Menake was pregnant by Gandharva king Vishwavasu. Bhrigunandana! When the time came, Menake left that womb near the hermitage of Sthulakesha. She went away, leaving the girl on the bank of the river, shining like an immortal child. The great sage Sthulakesa saw that Tejaswini on the banks of the river. Dwijottam! Munishreshtha Sthulakesa saw the girl and was gracious and took her and raised her. She grew up in his ashram. The great sage named her as Pramadvara because she was superior to all others in all forms. Seeing Pramadvara near that ashram, Dharmatma Ruru fell in lo...

11. The desire of Kadru and Vinata.

Shaunaka said: “Suta! Retell in detail the great story of the saintly poet Astika that you told me. You tell the story melodiously, using the right syllables. We are delighted by your words, which are like those of your father. "Your father has always been busy with our caretaking. So tell me the story you are telling, just as your father told you." The Suta said: “I will tell the story of this Astika just as I heard my father tell the story. Brahmin! In the past, in the Devayuga, Prajapati Daksha had two auspicious daughters. Both these sisters had assumed the form of a wonderful goddess. They were the wives of Kasyapa: Kadru and Vinata. Kasyapa, the husband of Prajapati’s daughters, who had attained supreme happiness with his wives, bestowed boons of love upon them. Hearing that Kashyapa was going to grant them good boons, both the women were filled with incomparable joy and love. Kadru asked for a thousand Nagas, equal in brilliance, as her sons. Vinata asked for two sons,...

15. Garuda leaving the bramhin.

Suta said: “Then Mahavira, Mahabala, that bird who can go at will came to the mother on the other side of the ocean. There, Vinatha lost the bet and became a slave, and was very sad. Then once Kadru called Vinatha and said to her who was bowing before her son: “Bhadre Vinate! Take me to the solitude of the temple of Nagas, which is very beautiful located at the bottom of the sea.” Then the mother of Suparna left with the mother of serpents and Garuda carrying the Pannagas on the shoulders as the mother said. As that Vihangama Vainateya ascended towards the sun, all the pannagas were struck by the rays of the sun. Seeing the plight of the children, Kadru praised Shakra Indra: “Save the snakes from the scorching sun by raining. Amarottama! You alone are our greatest strength. Purandara! You are the lord of rain and you can make it rain as much as you want. You are the cloud, you are the air, and you are the lightning that shines in amber. You are the one who disperses the clouds and ...
