"Spare
Durvaasa"
Ambareesha was of very good nature. He had great respect for Durvaasa as a sage of
spiritual eminence. He pitied his plight. He was embarrassed to see such a sage touching
his feet.He prayed to Sudarshana Chakra which came pursuing the sage: "O king of
Chakras, embodiment of efful- gence, you yourself are Agni, Sun you are, and even Moon the
lord of all stars are yourself. You are Dharma.You are courage ; you destroy the wicked
and the cruel who indulge in unrighteous acts; you protect the pious and saintly There is
none who can oppose you. You can perform wonderful deeds.If you are favorable there is
nothing that is impossible. Therefore I am praying to you with folded hands. Please spare
the life of sage Durvaasa."Such was hisprayer, made with a sincere and pure heart.
True, Durvaasa had teased the faultless Ambareesha and went to the extent of even killing
him. But Ambareesha did not nurse any illwill towards the sage. He did not even rake it up
saying, well, this is what you did.' for the sake of sage Durvaasa who had
surrendered, he prayed to Sudarshana chakra. |
