[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

170 one

Mahadeva, who sensed Vamana by fetters, closed his eyes and only opened the eyes on his forehead to observe the whole world. The whole world suddenly turned into nothingness in his eyes...everything became invisible. All maya illusions disappeared, and only the three-phase god existed in the universe. Therefore, Mahadeva naturally penetrated countless obstacles and confusion, and easily found Vamana.

The little Vamana is at the center of the world, sitting in the universe, surrounded by countless souls, and these souls return to himself, then fall into the dust separately, return to himself, fall into the dust again... ...They hovered around Vamana constantly, just as the dew cannot leave the lotus, the light cannot leave the sun and the moon, the eyelashes cannot leave the eyes, and the clouds cannot leave the blue sky.

Vamana sighed.

He obviously has no anger towards these souls, and these souls have no malice, but being caught in this independent illusion is definitely not his pleasure, but even if he is not happy, Vamana is not angry because of it—— He's not angry about anything, though he knows it's not that he doesn't have angry emotions but that he doesn't need to be angry right now.

The man who had captured him didn't even know who he was!

Vamana raised his eyebrows, lay down comfortably, took out a Ladu from nowhere, put it on his mouth and licked it——today’s Ladu did a good job, with enough honey and cream , The bean and rice were fried so fragrantly - so he opened his mouth and took a bite.

After taking a bite, Vamana's other hand took out a cup from nowhere, which was filled with sweet milk.

With a sip of Radu and a sip of milk, Vamana lay down and hummed, enjoying this rare leisure and comfort.

And at this moment, a voice came: "Is this the child that the mother just gave birth to?"

"Hush, he's your brother!" said another voice.

"He doesn't look like my brother!" said the first voice.

"These words you should ask mother Aditi instead of complaining here, Indra! If he is not our brother, then who is he? Is he an evil Asura? Is he a mortal? Is he a Naga ? No! Of course not! He is a devas, he is one of the Vasu, he is the manifestation of power and beauty O Indra!" retorted the second voice, "If you continue to observe him like this, Indra, so be it! When Mahadeva finds you, him, and what we have done, then come and ask for forgiveness!

"I'm going to tell Brahma about this!

"At least I can get some forgiveness this way and I don't have to be here with you and watch this kid in a daze!"

After the man finished speaking, Indra was heard begging: "My brother, my friend, my closest friend! Please don't do this to me, please don't!"

Indra's plea was so sincere.

Then the voice calmed down slightly: "Then, Indra, why don't you go and meet this kid? He will be willing to talk to you, after all, he is the youngest among us, and the youngest brother always To agree with his brothers, so go, Indra!"

And this conversation has been heard by Vamana who they think must not be able to hear them, not only Vamana, but even Mahadeva can hear clearly.

When Maha Deva heard what Indra did, she wished she could immediately bring up the trident to kill Indra, who refused to live in peace all the time, but Vamana raised her head, smiled in his direction, and shook her head slightly. waved.

Vamana didn't make him really angry, and because Mahadeva had just touched Sati's fragments and was comforted by Vamana, he put down the trident slightly, but still held the weapon tightly He wants to continue to listen to what kind of idea Naindra has in mind!

And Indra had already appeared in front of Vamana at this moment.

This emperor of heaven, he is shining with divine light, with shining golden armor, holding a powerful vajra thunder pestle in his hand, riding six white elephants under his crotch, dancing chadha on his body, and engraving the name of Narayan on his forehead. Tilak, his earrings are large and prominent, and his face shines like Surya.

He rode on the white elephant, looked at Vamana lying beside him, and asked proudly, "Are you the youngest son of Aditi?"

Vamana turned his face and asked, "Then you are Indra, the eldest son of Aditi's mother?"

"How dare you talk to me like that! I am the eldest son, I am your elder brother! How can you just call me by my name!" Indra proudly raised the vajra thunderbolt, "I will punish you!"

"Then how dare you call your mother by her name without adding 'mother'? Son of Aditi! I will punish you too!" Vamana said, raising Radu in his hand.

"Hahaha! You are such a child, you actually lifted Radu! Do you know what that is? Do you know what is in my hand? You are only less than twelve days old, and you dare to confront me! You Do you know who I am? I am Indra! I am the god of sacrifices! I am the one who drinks soma! I am powerful! I am invincible! I am the commander of all Maludah! I drive away evil! I give generously I am so great, and the vajra thunder pestle in my hand is even more powerful!

"And you?

"You have just been born, you are still unstable when you stand, and you have no strength to restrain a chicken! You even tried to use Radu against the vajra thunderbolt in my hand!?"

Indra's words were not wrong.

A group of flames suddenly appeared, rose suddenly, and then turned into a human form—it was Agni, the fire sky.

Agni came over quickly and said, "Indra, how can you talk to a child like this?

"As you said, he is just a child, just born, and doesn't understand anything. But he actually knows how to respect his mother, how to respect and love his mother--Indra, you can't show your weapon to him because of this! This is tantamount to Join forces with evil!"

Agni walked up to Vamana, stretched out his hand to lightly touch his face, and said joyfully, "Look at how lovely he is, God, his loveliness and beauty make me forget everything!

"I forgot my duty, I forgot whether I should absorb tributes for all the Devas at this moment; I also forgot who I am, I forgot that I can turn into a flame and burn everything; I also forgot my essence, I forgot that my passion can burn everything...but I have forgotten so much, but I will not forget my true self—Vamana, this is my younger brother, my friend, and my love erupts for this Come out!"

Agni's words made Indra even more angry. He jumped off the white elephant and was about to lose his temper.

However, Vamana said: "Brother Agni, we are brothers, and our love for each other cannot be broken. For this reason, I will offer you my silent voice." Li, "please sit down, let's share milk together," he stretched out his hand, and a milk jug appeared in front of him, "Ladu," he stretched out his hand again, and a large plate of ladu appeared, "Cream," followed by Cream jar, "milk porridge." The last thing that appeared was milk porridge.

"Come!" said Vamana, "Let's share this together!"

"Then I can bring some fruits." Agni said, and brought some mangoes and bananas.

Therefore, this was the first dinner together between Vamana and his brother.

Indra saw that Agni made friends with the newly born little devas, he just felt uncomfortable, but seeing that the little devas just liked to eat and seemed to pose no threat to him, he felt a little embarrassed to be with him. dialogue.

After all, it was Agni. Here he persuaded Indra not to continue to be angry, and said a lot of good things. Then Indra put down the airs of the emperor, and sincerely saluted in the direction where Aditi lived. Be near Agni and prepare to enjoy these delicacies.

In any case, if this child can get Mahadeva's attention, he must have his own merits.

Indra still didn't trust Vamana in his heart. He secretly observed the child, but the child's love for food was beyond normal. He grabbed four Radu and started to chew, looking extremely cute.

At this moment, a mist passed, and Mahadeva appeared in front of them.

Vamana dropped Radu in his hand and waved to him: "Mahadeva! Mahadeva! Come here! There is milk porridge here! There is cream in the milk porridge here!"

He greeted Agni and Indra in this way, and turned their heads again, only to see Mahadeva walking over.

He walked up to them, took a sharp look at Indra, and then sat down beside Vamana, and naturally stretched out his hand to put Vamana on his lap.

"Maha Deva!" Indra clasped his hands together and immediately stood up.

And Agni put down the food before standing up and bowing to Mahadeva with clasped hands.

Vamana said, "Sit down and continue eating! This is the first time I'm eating with you!"

But as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, Mahadeva picked up a Ladu and handed it to his mouth.

Vamana was very happy.He also grabbed a pinch of milk porridge and put it in Mahadeva's mouth.

The two of them fed each other's favorite food, even milk, whether it was fruit or cream, they never missed a thing.

"I must have had a nightmare!" Indra thought like this, he couldn't understand why Mahadeva would be so gentle and benevolent, like an ordinary human being, like a mortal loving his child? !

No, no!

This is really weird!

However, Agni felt that this was not the elder's affection for the child.

This kind of emotion is a little strange, it is so natural and so natural, it seems to be the emotion that rises directly from the hearts of Mahadeva and Vamana.

It will not change due to changes in time, space, and characters.

It is the most essential emotion engraved in the prehistoric universe. It is like love, friendship, and family affection, but it is higher than them.

It does not arise, it does not die, it is not dirty, it is not clean, it is not sad, it is not happy, it is not short, and it is not empty.

It is purer than fire, better than sea, better than air, better than wind, better than soil.

"You should eat more." Mahadeva held up another pinch of butter and fed it into his mouth, "The existence of food is so delicate and delicate, Vamana, we can't waste it."

"Of course not." Vamana shook his head, "So I decided to give them all to Indra!"

After the little Vamana finished speaking, the food disappeared, and Indra's belly swelled up as if he was pregnant.

Vamana laughed out loud.

"You...what the hell did you do! You...what did you do to me!" Indra asked in horror while hiccupping.

"I just let you know, Indra, not everyone likes everything about you." Vamana raised an eyebrow at him, "And your feeling is good, indeed, my strength is stronger than yours, Stronger than all devas, but that doesn't mean I'm interested in your position."
