Brahma's Regret

 


Brahma's Regret

 

After another thousand years, strangely enough, after vowing to practice, Uma's dark skin gradually transformed into a bright, slightly golden complexion.

The old donkey told Agudengba the story of the snow mountain goddess Uma’s practice. After thousands of years, strangely enough, after Uma vowed to practice, her dark skin gradually transformed into a bright, slightly golden complexion.

The old donkey told Agudemba: After the great god Brahma heard about this incident, he was very excited. He decided to go to Mount Kailasa to meet Shiva in person. Because at that time the three realms fell into chaos, the sky showed strange phenomena, and everything was blazing.

The great god Brahma came to Kailasa Mountain, and the current situation of Kailasa Mountain is also extremely hot.

The sacred bull Nandi, who saw Brahma coming, was guarding outside the temple. The white sacred bull Nandi was Shiva's mount. It saw Brahma and immediately ran out to prevent Brahma from visiting Shiva.

The sacred cow Nandi said to Brahma: "Due to the disturbance of the God of Love and the God of Spring, the Lord Shiva does not want to meet anyone now. Even you, the great god Brahma, cannot enter the temple."

Nandi looked at Brahma and said: "Lord Brahma, you want the God of Love and Spring to help facilitate the marriage between Shiva and Uma. Now it seems that this is in vain and has additional complications."

"If the Lord does not receive anyone, can I ask you to convey emergencies in the three worlds?"

Seeing this, Brahma could only entrust the sacred cow to inform Shiva how critical the situation between the three realms was.

Brahma told the sacred cow that the three realms are already in turmoil and have encountered Uma's practice disaster. Only Shiva can save all living beings, and ask Shiva if he is willing to meet Brahma.

After hearing this, the sacred cow immediately walked into the temple and explained to Shiva the reason why Brahma came.

"Nandi, please invite Brahma to come in and see me. It seems that he has caused trouble again." Shiva said to the sacred cow.

Brahma finally entered the Shiva Temple. After Brahma bowed to Shiva to show respect, he began to describe the current situation.

The great god Brahma said to Shiva:

Since the Snow Mountain Goddess Uma is the daughter of the mountain god, a series of severe ascetic practices caused all living beings in the three realms to feel extremely hot and burning pain. Especially what they endured in the heaven realm was more painful than the punishments in the other two realms.

Brahma also knows how this series of sufferings came about: Uma's penance created all of this.

Brahma went to Mount Kailasa to meet Shiva:

"World Honored Shiva, the current situation in the three worlds is controlled by Taroga, and the more powerful gods are captured by Taroga. They come to see you in order to pray for your protection. Now only you, the benevolent and supreme one, can The crisis in the Three Realms has been saved."

Shiva closed his eyes and sat in meditation without saying a word. Seeing this, Brahma became uneasy. After bowing to Shiva again, he stood up in despair and planned to return to heaven.

At this time, Shiva opened his eyes, looked at Brahma who was disappointed and wanted to return to heaven, and asked: "If you can no longer control the current situation, what is the solution to everything?"

"Due to my negligence, Taroga has an indestructible body. The only exception is that he will only be defeated at the hands of your child, the World Honored One. All of this is caused by my sin. I ask the World Honored One if you can communicate with me. Uma, the daughter of the mountain god Himachal, got married and gave birth to a baby to compete with her? And now Uma is also working hard to be worthy of the position of the wife of the World Honored One. As a result, the three realms are also punished, and all living beings are also suffering. The burning pain..." Brahma's mouth trembled, fearing that he would make a slip of the tongue and become ashes under the fire of Shiva's third eye.

After hearing this, Shiva still closed his eyes and continued to sit in meditation.

When Brahma saw this situation, he was fully informed of the cause of the matter, and after bowing, he returned to heaven. In his heart he only expected all the miracles to happen.

After Brahma left, Shiva did not want to immediately help Brahma's request, but still cared about his own practice. But at this time, He remembered that incident thousands of years ago... That was what the great god Vishnu once said to Shiva:

"World Honored One, if you firmly believe in the divine will of the Vedas: the entire world and the universe are endless in the cycle of creation, operation and destruction, then one day your beloved wife will definitely return to you."

This is what Vishnu said to Shiva when the body of Shiva's ex-wife Sati was broken into fifty pieces.

"Sati, are you... Uma, the daughter of the mountain god Himachal?" Shiva's heart was also shaken by Vishnu's words back then.

The old donkey told this story to Agudengba, and the old donkey sang the song "Sorrow of Love" composed by Shiva:

 

Why does the sadness of love torture me.

I stare fondly at the past,

Will never forget that time.

We once had an oath of eternal love,

Said they would never be separated from each other.

But your painful tears,

What came out was the sadness in my heart.

Even if I am a great god, I will never be able to do anything.

Let's go back to the past.

I can only give you all my love,

Put it into the thoughts and memories of practice.

 

My Satie, a thousand years from now,

Uma suddenly appeared in front of me,

Could it be that Uma is your reincarnation?

That mixture of sorrow and joy that no one understands,

Dandelions still blooming in yellow.

We all love the beauty of dandelions,

If we really had a previous marriage,

How can you crush our weak hearts?

Lost love in the cold wind again.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fables makes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
