You have no shame.' Varaha heard these insulting words and put aside the Earth. His eyes were red with anger. He said, 'These words of empty pride will only lead you to the jaws of death.' 'Well, then, fight', said Hiryanyaksha. A dreadful fight followed between them. The gods witnessed this terrible fight. It went on from morning till evening. Brahma was very anxious to see the fight finished, before darkness fell, by Adivaraha (the first pig), for, as darkness approaches, the strength of Rakshasas, too, grows. As though he read Brahma's thoughts, the divine pig smiled and sent his disc (the Chakra) whirling towards Hiranyaksha. This mighty weapon destroyed all weapons of Hiranyaksha. HIRANYAKSHA' S DEATH Seeing all his weapons destroyed by the pig, Hiranyaksha's anger rose high and he rushed forward roaring with anger to crush Hari in his arms. Then the divine pig struck a stunning blow on Hiranyaksha's cheek. The blow was so terrible. That Hiranyaksha fell to the ground and died. Thus the evil was outdone and also mother earth was safely restored in her place. «Prev   [1]   [2]   Next»     © 2000 - . All rights reserved.
