Narayaneeyam
Dashaka 23
अत्यंत्सगविलयाय भवत्प्रणुन्नो ENGLISH TRANSLATION
To rid himself completely of all sensuous hankerings, prompted by Thee, he once went to Mount Kailaash. There he saw the destroyer of Kaamadeva , Shankara, sitting in the assembly of sages with his consort Umaa seated on his lap without any concern. Chitraketu mocked at him and in turn was cursed by Umaa. निस्सम्भ्रमस्त्वयमयाचितशाप्मोक्षो ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Unperturbed, Chitraketu did not ask for relief from the curse, and was born as Vritraasura. By his devotion, while fighting in the battle against Indra, he imparted the knowledge of the self to Indra and he removed the delusion of even his enemy. Thereby he reached Thy abode. What a wonder! |
