||Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya||

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.
