Shattering of the Pride of Durvasa Sri Krsna said- O dear one, Durvasa a great yogi was bom out of the amsa of Siva. He was quite illustrious and you listen to the manner in which his pride was reduced to ashes. Once the king Ambarlsa performing the Dvddasl-vrata, served food to many Brahmanas and sat there to break his own fast. In the meantime the sage Durvasa arrived there who was quite hungry and thirsty because of performing Visnu vrata.
He said to the king, "O virtuous one, give me the food.” The king at once, with his mind filled with devotion, served him the pdyasam.
But a hair emerged from the pdyasa as a result of which Durvasa got ready to pronounce a curse on him. He plucked a lock of hair from his head and threw it on the ground.
Out of the lock of hair a divine person emerges like the burning flames, who was seven tdla trees in height and was horrible to look at.
In anger he got ready to kill the king. Terrified from that horrible person all the people present there started trembling with fear. Their throats, lips and palates dried up the terrified king started thinking of my lotus-like feet, as soon as he remembered my lotus-like feet, all his dangers were ever.
But in the meantime the Sudarsana-cakra of Visnu appeared there which was quite horrible and possessed the lustre of crores of suns. He started roaming about in the assembly of the king and in an instant he cut into pieces, the artificial person created by the sage Durvasa and started running after the sage.
iraf I n 1 1 The cakra followed Durvasa through out all the seven oceans, the Sumeru mountains and the entire universe.
t g)-4-dgxfqTq;i 1? ^ 11 The locks of hair of the sage were dishevelled, while running, getting frightened totally disgusted. Durvasa the great Brahmana could cover even the lustre of the sun with his glory and was illumining the area through which he was running. He went to Kailasa, the seven heavens the Brahmaloka and ultimately took refuge with Visnu.
Thereafter Visnu the ocean of mercy finding that Durvasa had fallen on his feet, assured him all protection.
Thereafter Narayana by pronouncing a boon on him, relieved Durvasa of his mental agony.
Offering prayer to Narayana. Durvasa returned to the abode of the king.
The king on getting back the sage felt delightful. He again served paysam and nice food first to the sage and then took his food together with his wife and other relatives.
After taking his food the Brahmana blessed the king variously and went back to his home. I had issued the cakra for the protection of my devotee. During the time of dissolution everything is destroyed but my devotee can never be destroyed. All the gods are like my life, but my devotees are more important to me than the gods.
Your self Lak§ml, Mahamaya, Savitrl, Sarasvatl, Brahma, ^iva, Ananta, Dharma, Brahmanas, cowherdesses, the cowherds are all very dear to me. But my devotees are far dearer to me than all of them. No one else is dearer to me than my devotees.
Even after issuing Sudars'ana-cakra for the protection of my devotees I still don't have satisfaction, therefore I myself rush for their O great goddess, O virtuous one, you have listened from me the way how the pride of Durvasa was shattered. What else do you want to listen from me, you give me the command.
JTliir it XRIR ^ 11 Radhika said- O teacher of the universe, I am getting anxious to know about the shattering of the pride of Dhanvantari, you kindly tell me the w g f vR Tgn Narayana said- On hearing the words of Radhika, Madhusudana smiled and started narrating an ancient story which is quite
