BHAARGAVA PURAANAM - PART 1
8b. Madhu and Kaitaba – 2
VishNu got tired of the long war with neither victory nor defeat in sight. He went to KailAsh unseen by the asurAs and played YAzh from a forest. Siva was pleased with the music and gave his dharshan.
VishNu told him, “I am unable to kill the asurAs born out of my ears. Has my power got reduced? Please give me enough power to destrory those two foolish asurAs.”
Siva replied, “VignEswar is the God of Victory. You forgot to invoke him before you started the war. That is why you missed an easy victory over those asurAs”. Siva taught VishNu the shadAkshara.
VishNu chanted the shadAkshara for one hundred years and GaNapathy appeared to him. “Victory will be yours!” he told VishNu and vanished.
VishNu went back to the asurAs. They were hiding in a disguise in order to spring a surprise on Vishnu, but their disguise disappeared. VishNu poured a rain of arrows on them but nothing happened to them.
So took his chakrAyudham and let it go. The chakram chopped off the heads of the asurAs and they fell dead. The DevAs were overwhelmed and poured a rain of flowers. They worshiped and thanked VishNu profusely.
