[Indian Mythology] Self-cultivation of male gods

44

For gods, their time is different from that of mortals, and even for Daxian, Asura's time is so short.

Jin Mu was practicing hard on the edge of the cliff, and he praised Brahma every moment: "Om—Namo, the great god of Brahma."

He meditates here year after year, he sings praises to Brahma; he meditates here day and night, he praises Brahma; he meditates here all the time, he sings Brahma constantly... Jinmu, this Asura with golden eyes, his originally strong and dark body became harder, his body was no longer as plump as before, the originally raised muscles shriveled, and his skin became as dry and rough as gravel; His eyes are sunken, his eyebrows are long, his beard is all over his cheeks, and his hair is hanging on the ground... However, this did not kill his determination. He is still practicing penance, turning a blind eye to external things.

Narada looked at this Asura worriedly. He was worried that if Jinmu succeeded in penance and received the blessing of Brahma... then, would it be a disaster for the whole world?

The brother of Jinmu, Jinchuang, has already done the thing of capturing the goddess of the earth, Simitivi. He dragged the earth into the bottom of the sea, imprisoned the goddess of the earth, and even tried to occupy the mother of the earth. Such an Asura, his brother will do it again. What happened?

Narada looked at Narayantian worriedly.

Luo Yantian's face was calm, and the corner of his mouth that was always smiling still didn't drop at the moment, his face was plump and lovely, and it looked infinitely radiant against the backdrop of the smile.And his smile reassured Narada.Narada knew that Narayantian was the essence of the three gods, he was the root of everything, and his soul included all souls, and if he didn't feel that this matter was irreversible, then this matter must be nothing to fear .

So, he saluted Narayana, bid farewell to Mahadeva, and left Jiluosa.

Nandi believes in the power of the two Lords. He has become the mount of Mahadeva and he no longer has any other thoughts. Serving the Lord wholeheartedly is his only goal.

He picks the freshest fruits every morning, and in the evening he turns into a cow to plow the most fertile land. This happy and auspicious white cow, he only wants to be the servant of the Lord. His love for the Lord makes him forget himself. , He doesn’t need himself, because all the knowledge he knows tells him that serving the great heaven well is the meaning of his existence, and serving this god well is the work closest to the origin of the universe.

Because of Nandi's diligence, Mahadeva's life in Jiluosa was really easy. He kept Narayan again and again, and invited him to visit the world together every day.

Na Luoyan is also willing to stop in the world for him.As for Lakshmi, of course she couldn't stay in Kyrasa forever.She is the goddess of good fortune and she has to fulfill her duties.

When the human sacrifice began, Lakshmi rushed to Shanjian City, where she enjoyed the sacrifice and bestowed blessings on the human world.

However, just as this year's sacrifice was about to start, when she rushed to Shanjian City, she was shocked by the terrifying sight.

There were no offerings on the altar, not even... not even the flames of Agni's burning.

The city of Shanjian was cold and desolate, and the faces of the gods were all ugly.

"Agni, what's going on here?" Goddess Lakshmi walked up to Vulcan and asked.

The goddess is the representative of beauty in the Three Realms. Her face is beautiful and her posture is elegant. Her eyes are big and long, like water lily petals. Her black eye cream draws smooth lines at the corners of her eyes. The same is true for the tilak on her forehead. Beautiful and lovely, making her face look more delicate.And such a beauty is even more gentle on weekdays, so all the heavenly people like her very much, and they are also happy to answer her questions.

Agni replied: "Goddess, please listen to me. Today should be the first day of sacrifice. The people of Manu should prepare water and flowers, ghee and honey. Those soma juices are brewed, and those flower petals are prepared. Picking and placing, however, Manu's son Vena, that haughty young man, destroyed the altar just as it was being prepared!

"Heavenly Emperor Indra was very angry because the altar was destroyed. He has led all the heavens to fight against the arrogant Barna. Only I, because I am a flame, need to clean these up here, just to welcome Manu. sacrifice."

Agni's answer touched Lakshmi's heart. She knew that Veena, that arrogant child, had left Manu a long time ago and gone away to build his own country.

And this child has a natural distrust of gods, not only gods, there are too many things he doesn't trust, and he refuses to believe in the authenticity of anything he hasn't personally experienced.

Iro also said that Vena didn't believe that Radu was sweet, and he didn't know it was sweet until he ate it.

But back then in Manu's palace, her lord thought that the child was not a villain, so he let him go without showing any miracles.

But now, isn't he overwhelmed by arrogance?

Lakshmi hurried back to Kirasa to meet her Lord.

When she arrived at Jiluosa, she found Narayan who tasted the frozen mango with Mahadeva in the cave formed by ice and snow. She hurried over and put her hands together: "Swami."

"Lakshmi, come and sit," Narayan beckoned to her, "Eating mangoes with ice and snow is actually very interesting, come and try."

Lakshmi pursed her lips and had to go over and sit aside.

She is restless, the things in the human world and Shanjian City make her unable to sit here with peace of mind, but before she wants to tell what Vina has done, her Lord will stop her with even more novel food .

Honey is poured on snowflakes, milk is poured into coconuts, many fruits and milk are smashed into mud with ice and snow... These things, Lakshmi has never thought that they are so delicious, and every time she wants to speak When Wena was mentioned, a more novel food would appear in front of her, which made her unable to say the name of Wena for two days.

On the third day, Na Luoyan smiled and said: "I already know what you are going to say, goddess, and I am about to do it."

The food in front of Lakshmi finally ran out.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mahadeva, who nodded to her.

So she had to say, "Swami, what is your plan?"

Na Luoyan said with a smile: "I have called Na Luo Da, he will go to settle this matter."

Then Narada appeared before them.

He bowed to the two Lords, to the auspicious Victory.

"My lord, what are your orders?" Na Luo Tuo put his hands together and asked Na Luo Yantian softly.He didn't dare to raise his voice because it didn't seem respectful enough, and he couldn't even let his voice vibrate to the peacock feathers on Luoyan Tiandu, because the peacock feathers were so beautiful that it made people happy, and it was the peacocks that made people happy. Ling, or because the peacock feathers are adorned on Na Luo Yantian's crown, Na Luo Tuo would never think about it.

In fact, whenever he saw peacock feathers, Narada felt cute and amiable. He made peacock feathers into pens and inks to record knowledge and treasured them, because they adorned Narayan Heaven, that is, knowledge and truth.

Seeing his inquiry, Naluoyantian glanced at Mahadeva, then looked at him again, and said with a smile: "Sage, you should go to the Vina side and ask him if he would like to meet his old friend and tell him that there is an old friend in the evening." If you are going to visit him, please prepare the etiquette and meals for him."

Narada clasped his hands together, and without asking the reason, he disappeared in place after receiving the order.

After Narada left, Lakshmi finally couldn't help looking at Narayan with doubts in his heart.But Mahadeva said at this time: "Lakshmi, Narayan is going to give Veena one last chance."

Narayan smiled.

Lakshmi smiled just now and stopped worrying.

Like other goddesses, Lakshmi is kind and loving, but she is decisive, but she does not often reveal her decisive side.As for the arrogance of the Veena, she was really angry, but she also thought of the cuteness of the Veena when she was young. Therefore, Lakshmi, who did not want the victory to belong to the Veena, also did not want death to befall him.

And her Lord was willing to give him a chance, which was too merciful.

Lakshmi clasped her hands in heartfelt admiration for her Lord.

When Surya landed on the western mountain, Narayan stood up and went to see Vina.

Maha Deva was worried that his temper was too good and he was unwilling to be separated from him, so she turned into a hunting Brahmin, went out and caught a stag, and wanted to go with Narayan.

Na Luoyan retracted his four arms into two arms, and the golden crown was also replaced by a turban. This is because the peacock feathers were still trembling and swaying beside the gems on the turban.

As for Lakshmi, she turned into a girl, but about ten years old.

Girls around the age of ten are female students. She looks holy and lovely in a white apprentice sari.

In this way, the white bull Nandi, carrying the three gods on his back, came to the gate of the palace of Veena.

Wena had been waiting at the door with his ministers for a long time.

When he saw a huge white bull walking in the dust, he was really surprised. He had never seen such a strong and auspicious white bull. Its horns were huge and its hooves were very powerful. The eyes, too, are big enough to please.

So, with folded hands, he begged the owner of the cow to come to his palace as a guest.

"Of course, Veena, the son of Manu. We are your old friends, but you were too young when you left home, and you probably have forgotten the guests in your house." Mahadeva said, stepping off the back of the bull.

Narayan also stepped off the back of the bull, and Lakshmi was carried down in his arms.

"Then bull among men, jasmine among girls, please come to my palace, since the old man Narada said is you, please come to my palace and enjoy soma juice! "Vina said, "The Emperor Indra has sent a war letter to me, but it is too late now, and he cannot enter my city!"

When night falls, troops cannot be sent to attack the enemy. This is a law-rectification rule.

Therefore, Narayan also chose this time to visit the Veena. He not only visited the Veena, he also wanted to end this useless war.

Walking into Veena's palace, Lakshmi found that it was very similar to Manu's palace, but it was too luxurious. Veena seemed to be trying to imitate the city of good view and turn his palace into a paradise.

"Honorable guests, are you from my father's kingdom?" asked Veena. "He is still obsessed with the gods, isn't he? Poor man, my father!

"It is absurd, my guests, how foolish and pathetic he is, my guests, for all that he has earned with the labor of his hands, and yet he gives it to gods he has never seen.

"Please bring my words to him, guests, let him wake up! I will defeat Indra and replace him, so that no one will be fooled again, guests, please be my witness!"
