bhaktavar ambarish vaivasvat manu ke pautr maharaj nabhag ke putr the.

dhanonmatt ambarish! tumane mera anadar kiya hai.'

shri durvasa ne tapobal se jan liya tha ki kalindi-kul se mere ane ke poorv hi inhoanne shri hari ka charanamrit le liya hai. dvadashi keval ek ghanta shesh thian. varshabhar ka ekadashi vrat aj savidhi poorn hua tha. vastrabhooshanoan se susajjit anekoan gayean dan di gayi thian aur sadar brahman-bhojan karaya gaya tha. paran-vidhi ki raksha ke liye ambarish ne yah vyavastha li thi, par rrishi krodhit ho gaye.

'too shrivishnu ka bhakt nahian. too maha abhimani aur dhrisht hai. amantran dekar anadrit karane ka dand diye bina maian manahian rah sakooangaan'

rrishi ne apani jata ka ek bal ukha dakar prithvi par patak diya.

mahabhayanak kritya hath mean tikshn kh dag liye utpann ho gayi. vah ambarish par jhapati hi thi ki tejomay chakr chamak utha, kritya vahian rakh ho gayian rrishi pran lekar dau de, par vah tivr prakashapuanj unake pichhe p d gaya tha.

dasoan dishaoan aur chaturdash bhuvanoan mean rrishi ghoomate-ghoomate thak gaye, par kahian ashray nahian mila aur vah sudarshan chakr unake pran ki kshudha liye aturata se pichhe laga tha. shrivishnu ke charanoan mean pranipat karate hi uttar mila,

'maian vivash hooan, mahamune! apani raksha chahate haian to ap ambarish se hi kshama maangean. ve hi apako shanti de sakate haian.'

ambarish ne rote hue prarthana ki.

'samast praniyoan ke atma prabhu mujh par santusht hoan to rrishi ka sankat door ho.'

brahman ko apana pair sparsh karate dekhakar ve kaanp uthe the. atyant du:kh se ek varsh se ve keval jal par jivan chala rahe the. rrishi ke pichhe sudarshan-chakr ko lage itana samay ho gaya tha. sudarshan ke adrishy hone par rrishi ke muanh se nikal p daan

bhagavan ke bhaktoan ka svaroop maianne ab samajha!'

ve kaantoan par sokar bhi doosare ke liye suman-shayya prastut kar dete haian. doosare ka sukh hi unaka apana sukh hai.'

'

rrishi ki aankhean gili ho gayi thian aur shriambarish ka mastak unake charanoan par tha.
