Taksha's Revenge

 


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.

  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.
