SAGARA CHARITHRAM
Vide 9 - 8
(9th Skandham, 8th Adhyayam)
INDRAN became angry. He was thinking in a crooked way. The pleasures of DEVALOKHAM, kept him still more tempted. He made a devilish plot, to stop the 100th ASHWAMEDHA YAGNAM. In the YAGNAM, a horse will be symbolized as a prestigious representation of the royal kingdom of the ruler. The horse will be decorated with gold ornaments. After the end of YAGNAM, the horse will be purified by chating Vedic hymns. Then the horse will be sent to various places. A huge army will follow the horse.
A ruler who wish to challenge the supremacy of the performer of YAGNAM, can snatch this horse forcefully. The huge army following the horse will come to the rescue of horse. The kings who wish to accept the supremacy of the performer of YAGNAM, will honour the horse with valuable ornaments. The performer of YAGNAM, should take utmost care in preserving the horse from enemies.
As a ruler of DEVALOKHAM, INDRAN knew this very well. As per Vedic sayings, for any reason if the 100th ASHWAMEDHA YAGNAM gets stopped means, then the powers will be lost. As per Vedic saying, he cannot enter heaven. SAGARAN was performing the 100th one.
INDRAN snatched the horse through his magical powers. He was coward. He had not challenged SAGARAN for a battle. Instead, he took the path of cheating the enemy. He snatched the horse and kept it in a secret place. The horse was missing. Knowing this, SAGARAN ordered his sons to search the divine horse kept for the YAGNAM.
Obeying the orders of father, they searched for the horse in all directions. They wandered to different places and searched for the horse, but in vain. At last, they saw a hermitage of a RISHI. In the place of RISHI, they saw the horse. The RISHI was a deep rooted YOGI. He was none other than KAPILA BHAGAVAN. BHAGAWATHAM describes the incarnations of BHAGAVAN.
KAPILA BHAGAVAN comes in the list ans he preaches about SANKHYA YOGAM. The Yoga philosophy profounded by him, was called as NIRESWARA SANKHYAM. He explained the methods of deep rooted meditation and ultimately liberating one self from the bindings of world.
Coming to the story.,
KAPILA BHAGAVAN was in meditation. He had forgotten the entire world. He had forgotten himself in the meditation. He became one with the inner soul and attained a state of absolute silence. He never knew any thing about the surrounding happenings of the world.
The plot made by INDRAN was very tactful. He knew the power of KAPILA BHAGAVAN. He snatched the horse of SAGARAN and placed it, in the hermitage of KAPILA BHAGAVAN.
Kapilar was in deep meditation for a long time and he never knew about the devilish plot executed by INDRAN.
On the search of horse, the sons of SAGARAN came to the place of KAPILA BHAGAVAN and found the horse there. They thought that KAPILA BHAGAVAN was the thief. They concluded that, HE was enacting the drama of meditation by closing HIS eyes, to escape from the royal punishment. They grew very angry. They lost their senses and reasoning power. Without analyzing the situation, they decided to kill KAPILA BHAGAVAN.
Now, see the dimensions of ANGRY.,
They developed a strong sense of affection to the horse. It represented their prestige in the society. At the loss of it, they became depressed. Obeying the command of father, they searched for it in all directions, but in vain. At last, they have found it in a RISHI's place.
At the loss of a thing of pleasure, the sense of 'EGO' in the mind gets aroused to extreme. At the loss of the horse (prestige), the 'ego' of them gone to the extreme. They never analyzed the situation. At once, they decided to kill the RISHI.
They raised slogans, " Let HIM be killed., Let HIM be killed right at the minute.," and wished to attack KAPILA BHAGAVAN through their weapons. SAGARAN's wife was SUMATHI. She gave birth to 60,000 children. Now these 60,000 warriors of SAGARAN's heridity wished to kill the RISHI. obeying the oreders of father, they should have informed the issue to SAGARAN. But, they never did like that. They lost their mental balance.
At once they gathered as a team and wished to attack the RISHI with weapons. The voice raised by the 60,000 people were of unimaginable dimensions. KAPILA BHAGAVAN was in meditaion for a long time, rolling to many hundreds of years. HIS body resembled a burning furnace, emnating heat radiations all around. KAPILA RISHI opened HIS eyes. It was burning with fire.
The hidden fire kept inside HIS body, came out. At once, the fire burnt the sons of SAGARAN, in to ashes. Even though they were huge in number (say 60,000), they were burnt in no minutes time. It resembled as though they were roasted like small insects, in a burning fire. Now, one can understand the destiny of evil - doers, who hinder the path of devotion of a SADHU.
More to come on the successive issues.,
