(14) Trishnaa also joins the crows

(Trishnaa (Thirst for sense pleasures) enters)

TRISHNAA-

“What is the command of AaryaPutra?”

LOBHA-

“Listen, my beloved!”

क्षेत्रग्रामवनाद्रिपत्तनपुरद्वीपक्षमामण्डलप्रत्याशायतसूत्रबद्धमनसां

लब्धादिकं ध्यायतां

तृष्णे देवि  यदि प्रसीदसि तनोष्यङ्गानि तुङ्गानि चेत्तद्भोः प्राणभृतां

कुतः शमकथा ब्रह्माण्डलक्षैरपि [32]

 For those who have their minds bound by a string of desire extending towards

every object in every field, village, forest, mountain, town, city, island,

 and the entire sphere of earth,

and who always are thinking about obtaining more than what they already have-

O Devi Trishnaa,

if you can shed your grace on them and swell up their bodies,

then, Ho, where can there be quiescence for those beings even in lakhs of cosmic eggs?”

TRISHNAA-

“AaryaPutra! I already am engaged continuously in doing these tasks even before you said it! At present, as it is the command I have received from AaryaPutra, even crores of cosmic eggs will not fill my belly.”

{There is no end to wants. Even if one owns crores of cosmic eggs, a man will never have peace of mind and will covet more. That is the power of Trishnaa. Her belly never gets filled up.}

KRODHA-(calls his wife)

“Himsaa! Come here!”

{Where there is anger, there is always an injury. Both are inseparable.}

(Injury (Hurting others) enters)

HIMSAA-

“Here I am! May AaryaPutra command his slave!”

KRODHA-

“Beloved! When you are my life-partner, I do not mind even killing the parents!

As it is-

केयं माता पिशाची क इव हि जनको भ्रातरः केsत्र कीटा

वध्योयं बन्धुवर्गः कुटिलविटसुहृच्चेष्टिता ज्ञातयोsमी ||

Who is this devilish mother? Who is the worthless father?

Who are these worms called brothers?

All the relatives need to be killed!

All these cousin-brothers are of crooked minds and are paramours of some one,

yet act like friends!

(wrenching his hands)

आगर्भं यावदेषां कुलमिदमखिलं नैव निःशेषयामि

स्फूर्जन्तः क्रोधवह्नेर्न दधति विरतिं तावदङ्गे स्फुलिङ्गा: [33]

Till I destroy this entire family to the roots without a residue,

the sparks of  the anger-fire blazing inside me will not subside.

(looks)

This is our Lord coming this way. Let us go near him.”

(All approach MahaaMoha)

MAHAAMOHA-

“The daughter of Shraddhaa, Shaanti is our despised enemy. You have to keep her under control with extreme vigilence.”

ALL-

“As the Lord commands!”

(All leave)
