Sri Lalithambal Sobanam - Devi Mahathmyam !!

Jai Sriman Narayana !!


Sri Lalithambal Sobanam describes the glory of 'Devi',  Sri Hayagreeva - Horse faced Lord  (one of the incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu) explains to Maharishi Agastya.  Goddess Lalitha,  The Mother of the Universe neither has a beginning nor an end.  It is impossible to describe her glory in a few words. 


Once, Lord Indra was mejastically travelling on his white elephant and  passed through the three worlds .  He was thoroughly immersed in  his blissful ride made him  forgot to worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathy.  Lord Shiva got irritated at the disrespectful act of Lord Indra.   Lord Shiva instructed Maharishi Durvasa to present a  garland to Lord Indra while he enjoys his  ride on white elephant.  As instructed by the Lord,  Maharishi Durvasa appeared before Lord Indra and handed over the garland to him.  Indra received the garland from Maharishi Durvasa with humbleness and  placed it on the head of the elephant.  The elephant got annoyed at the presence of bumblebee on the garland.  Thus, took the garland with its tusk, banged on the floor and thrashed with its foot.  Maharishi Durvasa got raged  at the discourteous behavior of  Lord Indra.  He cursed Lord Indra.


Lord Indra arrived at Amarapuri.  He  terrified at  the bad omen in his Kingdom.   He invited 'Raja Guru' Brihaspathi,  received  him with  honor and  paid obeisance to him.  Lord Indra requested Sage Brihaspathi to advise him to eliminate the  existing bad omen  in his country.   After hearing Lord Indra, Maharishi replied that all these he had to go through because of his previous Karma.  He continued that there is no other choice left at this moment other than face the fruit of it.

Jai Sriman Narayana !!
