Sree Venkatesa PuraaNam
#7b. NArAyNan’s curse
NArAyaNan got up from the anthill in great anger. His forehead was bleeding profusely - split by the axe. Chozha king got bewildered by this sight. He fell at God’s feet and cried begging him to tell him what had happened there!
“After coming down from Vaikuntham I live in this anthill. The celestial cow gives me milk .The foolish cowherd wanted to attack the cow with his axe. I tried to stop his atrocity and got struck by him instead of the cow.
The king told NArAyaNan, ” The cowherd thought that the cow was cheating him of its milk. He did not know that it was you who enjoyed the milk. You are famous for your satva gunam. Please give up your anger and become your usual self”
“When the cowherd saw that the cow showered its milk here in the anthill, he must have guessed that it was for a special purpose. What he did is wrong and is unpardonable.”
No amount of begging and pleading had any effect on Naaraayan. He spoke in anger to the Chozha king thus, “The sins committed by the citizen get attached to the king who rules them. The sin committed by this foolish cowherd is now your sin. You will roam the jungles and forests as a ghost for this sin.”
The God famous for his satva gunam cursed the good-natured Chozha king in this manner!
