Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ============================================================= Challenge 3.02. " WHY ARE YOU STARVING? " ============================================================= mayi thishTathi dushkrithAnAm pradhAnE mitha dOshAn itharAn vichintvathee tvam / aparAdhagaNair ApoorNa kukshi: kamalA kAntha dayE katham bhavithree // (DayA Sathakam SlOkam-29) Meaning " Oh! DayA DEvi! You have such a big stomach (kukshi) with insatiable hunger. Unless it is fed properly, you will be starving. What is your food? The sins of Jivas are your favorite food. There is none in the world who can provide you enough of this food than myself because I am the foremost among sinners. You will not find another equal to me in this respect. When I am here capable of filling your belly to saturation, why run after and chase others who cannot provide you even a fraction of the food I can give? If you leave me and resort to others, only you will be fated to starve. I am sorry for you! " Comment: Another ingenious way to bring out his own naichya and the supremacy of DayA DEvi all at once! ============================================================= (To Continue) Challenge 3.03.
