Taksha's Revenge
Agudemba told the donkey
Mahu: the love story of Sati and Shiva getting married under the influence of
the great gods Vishnu and Brahma.
But the marriage between
Shiva and Sati was not satisfactory. Because something unexpected happened.
Agudenba said:
At a certain banquet in a
holy land, the gods from various regions came with their wives and children to
participate in the banquet. Of course, Shiva and Sati were not absent. When the
gods saw Lord Shiva and his wife Sati, they all came to the banquet. Salute and
sing as if you are the host of this banquet.
At this time, Tuosha also
arrived at the banquet venue. When the gods saw Tuosha, they also saluted and
sang praises to him. Because Taksha is Sati's father.
However, the status of the
great god Shiva is very high. Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu are the three-phase
Hindu gods. Shiva's status is that of the destroyer, with dual personalities of
reproduction and destruction, creation and destruction. Known as the God of
Destruction.
Shiva's most powerful weapon
is the third eye on his forehead. This eye can emit divine fire that destroys
everything in the universe. Shiva once used the divine fire emitted by the
third eye to destroy three giant castles in space. At the end of each cosmic
period, Shiva will open his third eye, and all gods, humans and animals in the
universe will be destroyed by his divine fire.
In addition to the eyes that
can emit divine fire, Shiva also has other types of weapons, namely a trident
called "Binaka" and a bow called "Ajagawa". There are not
many records about the latter two. It is usually only known that "Binaka"
is a symbol of lightning, which means that Shiva is also the god of storms.
Due to Shiva's special
status among the gods, he did not take Tuosha seriously at all. Naturally, he
did not pay respect to Tuosha like other gods. Shiva himself still lay on his
seat and enjoyed it. Sacrifice.
Of course, this move also
planted unexploded bombs in the conflict between Shiva and Tuosha.
Seeing this scene in
Takshasa's eyes, Takshasa felt that Shiva's behavior was extremely rude.
Tuosha thought to himself: I
betrothed my daughter to you, but you treat me like this! In this case, I must
look for opportunities to make you feel extremely humiliated!
Tuosha was angry in his
heart and planned how to make Shiva feel humiliated in front of the gods.
After the last banquet in
the Holy Land, Tuosha was upset by Shiva's disdainful behavior, so he held a
banquet in the Holy Land again.
This banquet was more
gorgeous and grand than the last one, and a banquet fire table was also placed
in the middle of the banquet hall.
Tuosha invited gods from all
over the world, including Brahma, Vishnu, Indra and other gods, and entertained
all the gods diligently.
However, Tuosha did not
invite the great god Shiva who had caused him great humiliation last time.
Tuosha loved his daughter
Sati very much, but he had been betrothed to Shiva as his wife, so Tuosha
naturally did not invite his daughter to the banquet.
In the eyes of the gods
attending the banquet, they also saw that Tuosha did not invite Shiva as a
guest.
At this time, there was a
god named Dadiji who respected Lord Shiva. He respected Shiva very much. Seeing
that he had been invited to such a grand banquet, but did not see Shiva, whom
he admired, he asked Tuosha in fear:
"Why are all the gods
in the heavens at the banquet venue, but our Lord Shiva has not come. Is this
kind of temple too casual? Or should I invite Lord Shiva and his wife to come
over now? Such a temple banquet Only then can you be perfect and divine!”
Tuosha heard Dadizhi's
question. He spoke about Lord Shiva when he spoke. This made Tuosha extremely
angry, so he shouted loudly:
"The great god Brahma
is invited, the guardian god Vishnu is invited, the thunder god Indra and all
the gods from all over the world are invited by me. All the great gods at the
banquet are already here. How can it be just a Shiva? Enemy the gods who are
having a banquet here? It’s totally meaningless!”
When the gods from all sides
heard what Tuosha said, they couldn't help but become worried, but they could
only remain silent.
After listening to Tuosha's
words, Dadi stood up and left the banquet venue angrily. When leaving, he said
angrily: "You are so insignificant to Lord Shiva, you will definitely
suffer the divine punishment of destruction!"
At this time, Sadie already
knew that her father did not notify her husband to attend the feast with her.
She was slightly confused and asked her husband Shiva if he knew about this. In
fact, Shiva already knew that he was the only one who was not invited.
"My wife, your father
has long been hostile to me after the last banquet. Naturally, he did not
invite me to this banquet. If someone who is not invited goes by himself, and
is not in the presence of the gods, Have you been insulted by your father in
front of you? So naturally I will not fall into his tricks and will never go to
his banquet alone." Shiva told his wife why her father Taksha did not
invite him.
"I must ask why my
father didn't invite you. Great God, please allow me to go to the banquet and
ask him why he did such a bad thing." Although Sati is Shiva's wife, in
front of Shiva The wording is also so rigorous, which shows how respected
Shiva's status is.
Shiva, who knew everything,
sat in meditation and said relaxedly: "Okay, if you decide to go to the
banquet hall, I will allow you to go. Take good care of my white sacred cow,
and you can ride it Go check it out.”
Shiva's mount is a white
bull. Because his mount is a cow, Hindus usually do not eat cows. Shiva also
ordered his servants to follow Sati to the venue.
Sati rode Shiva's white
bull, protected by Shiva's servants, to the banquet venue being held in
Tuosha's palace. She wanted to ask for an explanation from her father Tuosha.
Agudengba said this to the
donkey Mahu and sang a "Song of Involvement in the World":
The red dust and white waves are boundless,
Patience and meekness are the secrets;
Let the years pass by wherever you go,
A lifetime of peace and good times.
Don't let your mind be ignorant,
Don’t glorify others’ faults;
Socialize carefully without any worries,
Be patient and easy to discuss.
The string of a crossbow is always broken first.
Every time a steel knife edge is seen, it is easy to get
injured;
You get into trouble just because of idle talk,
Most of the time, people get offended by being cruel.
There is no need to argue about right and wrong.
There is no need to argue with each other;
There are many flaws in the history of the world,
How can the phantom body avoid impermanence?
It’s okay to suffer some losses.
It’s okay to give in three points;
I spent millions of dollars in vain during my lifetime.
Leave a pair of hands empty after death.
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.
