Alarka Insect attacks Karna and Lord Parashurama frees Dansha demon from his curse
Do you all know that after the Mahabharata war, while Yudhishthira came to understand approximately the birth of Karna from his mother Kunti, he turned devastated? He couldn't even think of ruling the whole earth and regretted killing his own elder brother only. He decided to go to the forest and live the life of Sannyasi. It became almost impossible for all his brothers and Draupadi to persuade him for ruling the kingdom. Narada had too defined Yudhishthira that Karna's death occurred as in step with the curses that he had had from one Brahmin and his Guru Lord Parashurama. we all are privy to those curses but we aren't aware of the truth that the insect that bit Karna was a demon who was cursed by way of sage Bhrigu earlier. let us realize it in brief.
Suta Putra Karna was constantly jealous of the outstanding power of Bhima, the quickness of Arjuna, the intellect of Yudhishthira, manners of Nakula and Sahadeva. He could not tolerate the friendship of Arjuna and Lord Krishna and love of people towards the Pandavas. therefore he did friendship with Duryodhana and stored hatred emotions for Pandavas from a younger age. one day after seeing the extremely good skills of Arjuna, Karna requested to Dronacharya in privacy to train him the Brahmastras so that he could be knowledgeable same to Arjuna and fight with him. After knowing his fickleness, Dronacharya responded to him that only a proper Brahmin with a proper way of celibacy exercise or a devoted Kshatriya could grow to be the expert of Brahmastras. After paying attention to him, Karna respectfully took the permission of Drona and went to Mahendra mountain to meet with Lord Parashurama.
Karna introduced himself as a Bhrigu Brahmin to Lord Parashurama. Lord Parashurama accepted him as his disciple and welcomed him to his hermitage. whilst staying on that heavenly mountain, Karna got possibilities to meet with many Yakshas, Gandharvas, Demons, and Deities there. After learning the Astras from his guru, Karna continually practiced there and became popular amongst those demons, deities, and Gandharvas. (during that time one day Karna was roaming across the hermitage while holding his sword and Dhanush found one Homadhenu cow of a holy Vedic Brahmin and he by accident killed it. Out of guilt, he informed that Brahmin about it and requested forgiveness. That Brahmin cursed him that, Karna's chariot's wheel would be swallowed via the earth at the same time as fighting with that person from whom Karna was once resentful usually and moreover, that warrior would kill him at that same moment. Karna attempted to delight him by means of providing cows however he failed to earn that Brahmin's mercy.)
Then he regretted his act and got here back to his guru Lord Parashurama. He thrilled his guru with his great efforts, devotion, and having managed over his passion. Lord Parashurama taught him the use of divine Brahmastras. one day at the same time as wandering around his ashrama, due to the fact of his fasting he felt exhausted and Out of having heartiness and trust in Karna, he slept on his lap. that time a terrible looking insect who usually ate saliva, flesh, and blood got here close to Karna and stung him piercing via his thigh. Neither Karna could throw that insect away nor kill it. He did not want to awaken his Guru from sleep or disturb him. That insect continuously stung Karna there. consequently, his blood came out from the wound and touched his guru. Lord Parashurama asked him how could he make him unpure with his blood? Karna showed him that insect and defined him about its bite.
That horrible insect had eight legs. It was known as the Alarka
insect. on the time when Lord Parashurama had a glance at the insect, it
straight away left its body there. That insect was a demon who had a reddish neck
and black skin that seemed in the sky. That demon mounted on the clouds there. He
while folding his arms informed Lord Parashurama that, "Oh incredible
Lord! wish you well. I will now leave this world. you've got freed me from
the Insect yoni. I pray to you for doing this to me." Parashurama asked
him his identification and the motive behind him being the Insect. That demon
spoke back to him that, "In Satya Yuga or era I was a terrifying demon
named Dansha. I stayed impactful just like Sage Bhrigu. one day I abducted
sage's beloved spouse forcefully for which he had cursed me to grow to be an
insect on the earth. He cursed me to fall into this Naraka whilst being the
excrement eating Insect. Then I requested him for the end of the curse. Sage
instructed me only Lord Parashurama can do it. I roamed on this earth like inside
the sinful Insect yoni however now has been freed by means of manner of you
only. " after saying this, he offered his prayers to Lord Parashurama and left him. Then Lord
Parashurama was amazed to see how could a Brahmin tolerate this kind of large
pain of Insect stinger. He doubted Karna to be a Kshatriya and questioned him about it. Karna told him the reality of being born to the Shudra clan who with
a goal to acquire the expertise of Astra came near Lord Parashurama. After
being privy to the greediness of Karna toward attaining Brahmastras, Lord
Parashurama cursed him that, Karna could simplest be capable of keep in mind
Brahmastra until he fought with notable warriors similar to him in the Warfield
and moreover he referred to Karna that, apart from Brahmins nobody ought to ever
recollect Brahmastras in their coronary heart but Karna being the disciple of
him would emerge as a warrior incomparable to all the Kshatriyas.
