DEVI BHAAGAVATAM - SKANDA 1
1#11b. Chandran
Chandran was not perturbed by his guru’s anger. He said coolly, “Saastra says we should not honor men who are angry. So I am not going to honor as my guru now, since you are very angry.
If Tara wants to go back to you, how much time does she need to do it? All your students came here to take her back and failed.
If she wants to live with you she will come back to you. If she wants to live with me she will stay on here. Learn to find happiness in your loneliness while we discover new joy in company of each other”
Devaguru felt crestfallen in this open and blunt insult but could not not do anything about it. He plodded back to his place feeling wretched and miserable.
He came again to Chandran’s palace later. The guard stopped him. “Tell Chandran that his guru calls him to come out now”
Chandran did not come out to answer his guru. Bruhaspati become more hurt than angry. he thought to himself, ‘If I don’t punish this lustful Chandran now, I will become the laughingstock among the Deva.’
He cursed Chandran from the street in seething anger,”I shall turn you into ash. You have made me stand on the road while you are holding my wife in there”
