Chapter – 25 – The conversation
between Dhithi and Kashyapa Prajapathi
Dhithi shamelessly
approached her husband; Sage Kashyapa realized that Dithi is not willing to wait
for the sunset. Therefore he took her in
a place where no one was around and fulfilled her desires. Sage Kashyapa took bath, performed Pranayama
and continued his austerities, Dhithi
was extremely guilty after the incident. She approached Sage Kashyapa, her head was hung
down in shame and said “ Oh! Bhramarishi, I have committed a mistake, hence I shall
prostrate before Lord Rudra, my fetus
should not be destroyed by Lord Rudra, who symbolizes auspiciousness, he is
extremely kind and compassionate to pious, he removes the sorrows of the grief
of worshiper, he showers an abundance of boons on the worshiper, and he is extremely formidable to wicked. He imposes
punishment upon the sinners. Therefore I
shall repeatedly prostrate before Lord Rudra.
He is the husband and dearest darling of my sister Sathi, he represents
wisdom and auspiciousness, he is extremely compassionate even to the tribal
people, I shall earnestly pray to shower his grace upon us.”
Kashyapa Prajapathi
finished the evening rites and said “Oh! Abadhre/inauspicious, your mind is
polluted, you have no control over senses, you have approached me during the
hours of sunset which is appropriate for the veneration of Lord Rudra, you have
ignored all my advice, and you have behaved disrespectfully to the
Rudraparshadha. Therefore you will have
inauspicious children, who will harass the three worlds, they will torture the
living beings on the Earth, and shamelessly approach the women and
disgrace them. The Sages and Rishis will
curse them, at that moment Lord Vishnu takes birth on the Earth and kill them.”
Dhithi said “ Oh! Vibhu, I am prepared to accept the death of my children in the hands of Lord Narayana, but not
from the furious Bhramins that would not let the souls enter into the abode
of Yama after the death, and the soul even after several births remains unfortunate forever.”
Sage Kashyapa replied “
Dhithi, you have felt extremely guilty after the incident, you have equal respect
for Lord Hara, and Lord Hari, you have respect and affection for me, therefore one of your sons will give
birth to a child who will be known as the fervent devotee of Lord Hari, and praised
by all even the deities,/Prahlada. Lord
Narayana would be highly pleased with your Pauthra/grandchild; he would be
illustrious, magnanimous, and a great devotee of Lord. He would contemplate on supreme Lord Hari
and attain the highest of the piousness and fortune. He would remain virtuous,
righteous, kind, compassionate, and unconquerable. He would eradicate the miseries and grief in
the world. He would be the supreme
devotee of Lord Vishnu who assumes various incarnations for his passionate
devotee, he is the ornament of Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, he is adorned in fish-shaped magnificent earrings, he has a radiant lotus-like face, he has the eyes resembles lotus
flower petals.” Dhithi was extremely
happy to hear about the virtues of her grandchild and remained calm to know
that her two sons would be killed by Lord Vishnu.
