Chapter 241
"But I am the daughter of Daksha, and this body contains disbelief and doubt. This will forever be my stain, God Kavia..."
"The Himalayas will wash themselves clean."
Kavia spoke, and the surroundings fell silent, no one knowing what he meant.
"The Holy Mountain will wash away your stain, Sati."
"From this day forward, you shall remain frozen on the Holy Mountain for ten thousand years, thus becoming the daughter of the Holy Mountain."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding gods all showed expressions of disbelief.
The Holy Mountain is the Himalayas Mountains, and the daughter of the Holy Mountain is the daughter of the Himalayas, meaning... the god Kavia wanted to recognize Sati as his daughter?
"No, this..."
"Say yes, Sati."
"Kavia said softly."
Sati's Fate was predetermined, just like that of the Jalandhara.
No one could stop it—neither Shiva nor Vishnu, nor even Kavia.
Such is the rule and Fate of the India World: Sati will inevitably Self-Immolation, and in her next life she will become the Parvati, undergo many trials, and eventually become Shiva's wife.
This was Sati's Fate, Aspected God could see but could not change.
After Sati's death, Vishnu waged a great battle against the Wrathful Aspect of Shiva in order to maintain the continuation of the world. In order to awaken the mind of Shiva who had exiled himself, Vishnu had to use the Sudarshana Chakra to divide Sati's body into fifty-one parts. The places where the parts were scattered became Holy Land, and Sati's soul transformed into rhododendrons at the foot of the Snow Mountain.
Shiva eventually regained his senses and left the Forest to meditate in the Himalayas Mountains for ten thousand years.
However, besides Vishnu, Brahma also comforted Shiva, saying:
"In the countless eons to come, millions of Sati will die for you. You know this perfectly well, so why are you still in such agony?"
The Parvati is merely a reincarnation of Sati; if that fails, another 'Parvati' will be born.
Shiva knew this, of course, but even if the Parvati reincarnated as the Sati was no longer the stubborn, headstrong, impulsive, and passionate daughter of Daksha, the Sati who rushed towards Shiva with the joy and love of a young girl, she would never return for all eternity.
This is the tragedy of being Aspected God. Despite being the most supreme being in the world, having insight into Fate and witnessing everything unfold, one is powerless to stop it. This is the greatest tragedy of being Aspected God: being within the rules yet being restricted by them.
Now.
Brahma is bound by the rules he himself set.
Vishnu was bound by his promise to Daksha.
Shiva is bound by the vows of Sati.
If the Aspected God sets the rules does not lead by example, how can people be convinced to obey them?
The Universe also needs to learn and correct itself, just as humanity develops and progresses. There is no God who is always right, nor is there a God who always possesses absolute authority.
All energy and karma in the Universe are interconnected; what you owe must be repaid, and what you do wrong must be punished.
Moreover, the matter between Daksha and Shiva was not solely Daksha's fault; Shiva also bore responsibility. When faced with Daksha's questioning, Shiva maintained the Pride of Ascetics, which is the reason for Daksha's Wrath.
Both sides made mistakes, both committed crimes, and both were inevitable consequences for the Lila.
No one could stop her from being enraged by her father Daksha's Wrath towards her beloved Shiva, and from making the decision to destroy her own body and never Daksha's daughter again.
"No need for Self-Immolation, Sati, I deny your oath."
"Your Majesty Kavia-- "
Kavia waved, then looked up and walked toward the center of the Fire Sacrifice.
"From this day forward, Sati is no longer the daughter of Daksha, but the daughter of the Himalayas, the daughter who has slept for tens of thousands of years in the Snow Mountain and has reunited with Shiva. She is Parvati, the Parvati."
He spoke those words in a quiet, serene, and fleeting voice—
"All the Lila, all the karma, I alone shall bear."
This is Kavia's "oath".
"No!"
Brahma hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him.
"Absolutely not, Ga! Absolutely not!"
Vishnu then appeared again, even more so than before, to persuade Sati.
"No, Kavia..."
The same was true of Shiva who arrived.
The three of them imposed various restrictions on Daksha, but not on Kavia, which is why they were able to come together.
In India, karma is the origin of all causes and effects. A person's mission, responsibility, and even Fate are born from karma. It is the bondage of the past, present, and Future. Without karma, there would be nothing. Karma not only affects this Present World but also extends to the next life and even lifetimes after lifetime.
Sati Self-Immolation Lila, and is also part of the karma.
Kavia cleverly regarded Sati as the Parvati, since she was the Lord of the Himalayas, and the Himalayas Mountains were the "snow Snow Mountain" in the title of the Parvati Parvati. However, this was a violation of the Lila and an obstruction of karma, and even the Aspected God could not foresee the consequences of such an action.
However, Kavia no longer cares about the purpose of his role as the Aspected God.
Neither knows.
Even Kavia himself didn't know that, unlike the other three gods, he could clearly sense karma, yet he was unaware of its influence on him.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva all only became aware of their responsibilities after experiencing their own karma.
But it didn't matter to Kavia anymore. He wasn't the Aspected God of rules. He had been the Aspected God for so long, so what did it matter if he became a human, Asura, or something else? Aspected God of Aspected God? Let it be that way, because at this moment, it was just as his name suggested.
Then, in the sight of the gods, in the sight of Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Kavia smiled.
"I will be reincarnated, and before the end of the Treta Yuga Ages, I will collect countless flowers bearing my name. At that time, I will return to my position Aspected God, and return to the Himalayas Mountains!"
All energy and karma in the Universe are interconnected; what you owe must be repaid, and what you do wrong must be punished.
Since that's the case, let's do it that way.
A large number, specifically 10 to the power of 72.
The Treta Yuga period is represented by a Yaksha in Indian Mythology.
Currently, we are in a period of 1,728,000 years of Satya Yuga, followed by a period of 1,296,000 years of Treta Yuga, which is the era of Rama.
What followed was the 864,000-year -Dvapara Yuga Era, the era of Mahabharata, which Dvapara Yuga with the death of Krishna and marked the beginning of the Kali Yuga.
Ultimately, after 432,000 years of Kali Yuga, the Savior was born in this era.
Finally, on the eve of the world's destruction, the White Horse Kalki will arrive riding a white horse and wielding a sword to rebuild the Universe Order.
Ultimately, Shiva destroys the world, Brahma creates the world again, and another cycle begins.
"My lord, no! What will I do if you leave? Narayana, Brahma, Great God, please persuade my lord..."
Upon hearing this, Vritra, the only one who stayed with Kavia, immediately stumbled over and pleaded.
Kavia watched as a tear slid down Vritra's cheek and said softly:
"While I'm away, take good care of Sati, who sleeps in the Himalayas, Vritra."
As his vow took effect, a sudden Flesh transformation occurred. A dazzling light enveloped Kavia's body, circling his skin in shapes like wings or petals. It made the Lord of the Himalayas exceptionally beautiful, gradually fading into an ethereal form, leaving only his outline.
"Everyone, I will be waiting for you in the Future."
By the time those words echoed in the air, the speaker was no longer there.
Everyone fell silent in shock, and tears streamed down Vritra's face uncontrollably before she burst into sobs.
She cried as if roaring, as if unleashing the intense emotions she had been suppressing for so long. Kama, watching her sob and cry like a child from afar, felt for the first time that she was somewhat similar to him.
"... What have I done...?"
Daksha murmured noncommittally. He could accept Sati's death, but he could not accept that he had caused the Aspected God to disappear for many years.
The Four-Aspected Gods have existed since the beginning of the Universe, but now one of them is missing. What should be done?
Daksha dared not imagine it, and no one could conceive of it.
"... How could this be... I..."
Shiva murmured, tears welling in his eyes once more.
Although Kavia defied Fate and allowed Sati to survive through a clever trick, the outcome was...
"I cannot accept this..."
Shiva revealed a Wrath expression.
Come, my Wrathful Aspect, Virabhadra, it's time to make a decision, let me destroy everything!
Finally, Shiva raised his head, his eyes flashing with clear Wrath, and shouted:
"Daksha!!!!"
His face was still streaked with tears, but his entire body had turned Cyan.
Virabhadra is the Wrath manifestation of Shiva.
At the same moment, dark clouds filled the sky.
Rumble!
A terrifying thunderclap resounded instantly, and bolts of Thunderbolt fell one after another, booming in all directions. The lightning burned across the land like torches. As the lightning continued to fall, the entire Underworld Realm began to shake, and lava volcanoes erupted.
Above the stars, countless Planet trembled, broke free from their orbits, and began to collide with each other, while a great Flood also swept through the Human Realm.
The gods, of course, also discovered the Wrath Shiva.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The gods' expressions changed instantly, revealing fear. They shrank back, bowed their heads cautiously, and clasped their hands together.
Seeing this, Daksha swallowed Daksha, staring at Shiva's Wrathful Aspect.
"Lord, you promised me—"
"Daksha, I have completely given up on you."
With tears streaming down his face, Vishnu said calmly, "No one in this world can save you now. The only place for someone like you is Hell."
"No, Narayana, I revere you so much, you cannot abandon me, please come back—"
Daksha panicked. He looked at Shiva, who was walking step by step as if leading the destruction of the Universe. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't move or even speak. He could only watch as the Wrath Shiva approached.
Before Daksha, Shiva held the unconscious Sati in one arm, and with the other hand, as if trying to scoop up water slipping through his fingers, he desperately reached out to grasp what he had lost.
"Aaaaaah!"
Accompanying the roar was not only the fear of all things in the Universe and its own destruction.
Even more so--
Swish!
Daksha's head was severed and fell to the ground. Then, the Wrath Shiva looked at the still weeping Vritra, abandoned his thoughts of destroying everything, withdrew his hand, picked up the unconscious Sati, his face blank, and turned to leave.
"... Sati, I'll take you to the Himalayas Mountains in Kavia. We'll wait for him to return there..."
Kama Jpg.
Chapter 304 The Treta Yuga Era: Kama's Great Disrespect and Insubordination.
"Go ahead, the land you have crossed is yours."
Under the watchful eye of the Demon King Bali, Vishnu's fifth Dwarf Vamana, slowly began to move.
The Demon King Bali was an Asura, another benevolent Asuras King after the Jalandhara. He was killed by Indra with Thunderbolt, but was resurrected by Shukra. In the sacrificial fire, he obtained a golden Chariot, Lion banner, divine armor, a divine bow and quiver, and defeated Heavens gods, who fled to Vishnu for protection.
It is worth mentioning that Bali did not rely on blessings, but led the Asura to conquer the Three Worlds purely through his own strength. He was also a follower of Vishnu.
But at the urging of the gods, Vishnu was forced to step in and resolve the situation.
Then the fifth incarnation, the dwarf Vamana, appeared. He visited the court of Bali and asked Bali to grant him the land that he could take three steps across.
Bali laughed and agreed to his request, right at that moment.
Then, to Bali's astonishment, Vamana swiftly transformed into an enormous Giants, standing amidst the Three Worlds, gazing upon the vast blue galaxy of the Universe.
So many years have passed...
Vishnu thought this to himself.
