Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 dear friends in shivapuran, under shatarudra samhita, chapter 30,lord shiva's avadhooteshvar avataar was narrated. once king of devatas Indras along with guru of devatas Brihaspati (jupiter) goes to meet lord shiva. to test the visitors, lord shiva come in the form of a large sized avadhoot manifestation and king indra not only undermines the avadhoot but also try to use his vajra ayudh, only to get his hands frozen (stambhan). then the most benefic guru (as usual) requests lord shiva to show mercy on the ignorant egoist indra after which lord shiva spares indra and then tells brihaspati "BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN JEEVAN DAAN TO INDRA, FROM NOW ONWARDS YOU WILL ALSO BE CALLED JEEVA". under the narration and in some other texts it is written that mere conjunction or aspect of jupiter itself can turn a malefic into a benefic. such is the benevolent disposition of the most benefic planet jupiter as he gives life to even erring planets by making them good. with best wishes pandit arjun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
