[Comprehensive] Mother of the Gods

The one who came to look for Vishnu was another of the three gods, Brahma, who symbolized the power of creation. As usual, he came to the boundless sea of ​​the universe to look for the guardian god Vishnu for help, but when he appeared in the When the Thousand-Headed Snake Shesha was in front of her, she found that Luo Yantian was not the only one above Shesha, but also a beautiful goddess whom she had never seen before.

She had fair skin and a dignified posture. She sat on the side of Narayana with her eyes closed, so Brahma said to Vishnu, "Narayan, I didn't know that you created a goddess here alone." Brahma thought Such a goddess must have come from the creation of Narayan, just as he created the world, gods and sages.

Floating alone on the sea of ​​the universe for such a long time, even Na Luoyan, who often fell into meditation, would feel lonely, so it is understandable for him to create a partner for himself.

"No." Facing Brahma's words, the gentle patron saint softly refuted his cognition, "This goddess is not created by me, she came from elsewhere, across a distance as vast as the universe, I let her Take a break here."

Hearing Naroyan's words, Kubele's frowning brows relaxed slightly. In her cognition, it was more the goddess who created the male god than the male god created the goddess—as far as she knew, even if Chaos, the great void in the sky, also has no gender.

As soon as she saw herself, she regarded herself as being created by Naroyan, which was a little offensive to Kubler, and Naroyan's justification diluted the displeasure of being offended, she turned her head to face with a smile. Na Luoyan said, "I'm bothering you. If there is something important to discuss, please allow me to descend to the mortal world."

"Oh, there is no need to do this, Goddess," Narayan did not agree to her request, but continued to say in a gentle voice, "You can listen here, there is nothing I can do in front of you."

He also said this to explain that none of the things he did as a guardian god was aboveboard and for the well-being of the world.

Kubler didn't insist anymore, just nodded slightly, and turned his face to Brahma to one side with a calm face. Although her eyes couldn't see, she could feel the "power", so she could accurately find where Brahma was. Location.

After hearing Vishnu's justification, the latter stopped talking about Kubele, and instead sighed, "Now I have married a wife," he said. Neither Vishnu nor Shiva has a partner. If there is no goddess beside Vishnu this time, he will not only complain about the wandering and free Shiva, "but Shiva is obsessed with penance and unwilling Join him with his other half."

"Goddess Sati will always marry him." Vishnu smiled. "No matter how much Shiva resists, she is his other half. Only when she becomes his partner can his meditation be complete."

"In order to free himself from that kind of endless thinking, he even locks himself up to meditate. It may be very inappropriate to continue like this." Brahma added extremely worried, "However, my son Dasha, because of wet Shiva chopped off my head and hated him very much, presumably in the future even if Shiva changes his mind and wants to marry Sati as his wife, he will definitely obstruct it."

Kubler listened to them seriously discussing the marriage of the great gods who are also among the three gods like them, and felt that they really... think too much.

So what if the father refuses to marry his daughter to Shiva?If she really wants to marry Shiva, and Shiva really wants to marry her, what's the point of letting Shiva just grab the marriage?

As if knowing what Kubele was thinking, Vishnu smiled and explained to the goddess, "If you don't get the blessing of your parents, Sati's marriage will add a lot of haze."

"I've been thinking about one thing," Kubler replied, "Why do you know what I'm thinking every time?"

Vishnu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Kubler stopped asking, and turned to Brahma on the side and said, "Can't you talk to your son and ask him to agree to marry his daughter to Shiva?" She really didn't understand, when she was there, she was faced with gods who were so bold and unrestrained when they met, but she was not used to seeing Mensao here.

Brahma: "..." If he could get through the conversation, he wouldn't come to Na Luo Yantian to discuss countermeasures. After all, his son has become more and more arrogant during this period, and even showed signs of despising Shiva, which made him very sad. disturbed.

Kubler: "... If you can't get through, then beat me up." Her way of handling things has always been relatively simple and rude. Back then, when Mimir was unwilling to cooperate with Zeus in exchange for the water from the Fountain of Wisdom, she robbed Zeus. When Kronos wanted to kill Zeus, she led Zeus to kill him, and almost no one could stop him along the way.

Brahma felt that his brain circuit couldn't keep up with this beautiful goddess. She looked dignified and beautiful, so why did she act as fierce and simple as Asura? He couldn't help turning his head to look at Na Luoyantian who was on the side. It's okay not to look , I was shocked when I saw it.

Na Luo Yantian, who has always been known for his gentleness, actually showed an expression of "I believe so". Brahma felt that he was really old. Although Dasha was worrying, he was his son anyway. Can he survive being beaten up by Shiva? This really made him feel... hanging.

"Na Luo Yantian, I think we should try our best to persuade Dasha." In order to prevent his son from being beaten into a dog, he decided to make the last effort, "He has always respected you very much. If you persuade him personally, he must It will work."

Vishnu nodded with a smile, he was willing to be this lobbyist, but he also knew that Daksha would not just obey.

He whispered to Kubler, "Goddess, are you willing to go there?"

"It doesn't matter." Kubele replied with a smile. She put her hand on Vishnu's lotus staff and was led by him to the Daksha Palace. Arriving at his palace, Dasha, who has always been staid and pious, clasped his hands together in front of the two great gods, "Narayantian, seeing your posture has blessed my eyes."

"I wish you prosperity." Vishnu raised his hand in a gesture of blessing.

Dasha's eyes fell on the goddess who was still holding the lotus staff in her hand. He had never seen this goddess. There was no place or temple that stored her statue, and there was no place to hold a fire sacrifice for her. —This must be a newly born goddess.

Cybele didn't know that she had become a newly born goddess in the heart of the living master in front of her—even though she herself was the mother of all things in an ancient pantheon.She turned her head to Vishnu and said, "Narayantian, do you need me to avoid it for a while?"

"As you think." Vishnu showed respect for Kubele's words, knowing that she wanted to go around the world first, "I will find your footprints." He added One sentence.

Kubele smiled and nodded, and collapsed the hall. Although Dasha hated Shiva, who was extremely sloppy in offering sacrifices and had no clear priestly steps, he had the most basic respect for other gods, so he put his hands together He said to Kubler: "Dear Goddess, if you don't mind, please let my daughter Sati take you around."

He could see that the eyes of this goddess could not see things, so he proposed to let his youngest daughter Sati, who was not yet married as a woman, accompany Kubele. Hearing Dasha's suggestion, Vishnu and Brahma looked at each other—they Obviously, he didn't expect Dasha to show such respect for this goddess.

But this is an opportunity.

Kubler nodded, Satie was called out from the boudoir by his father, she didn't look very well, a little sullen.After being called out by her father, she clasped her hands together to salute the two great gods, and then her eyes fell on a goddess she had never seen before. In front of him, he bent down and reached out to touch the instep of Cooper's instep - in the place where Cobele used to be, if the gods wanted to pray to each other for something, then the one who prayed for help would hug the object of his prayer knee, and lightly touch the opponent's chin with his hand.

So she mistakenly took the foot touch ceremony as a kind of begging for help from the other party.

She lowered her head and put her hand on Satie's, "Do you have any grace you want?" Kubler asked her this way when Satie led herself to the outside.

Sati was taken aback by the goddess' sudden inquiry, and then her heart jumped. The goddess who seemed very close to Narayan asked what kind of grace she wanted—even if she didn't practice penance to please her her case.

Satie opened her mouth, but Kubler didn't hear her answer, so she asked again, "Is there anything you want to ask for my help?"

I want to marry Shiva as my wife.

Satie thought in her heart, but she was worried that if she rashly made such a request to the goddess, asking her to help her fulfill this wish would make the goddess feel rude, so she lowered her head and looked sad, and after a while, she Answer in this way, "What kind of grace you want to give me, do as you wish."

She thought of her stubborn father, and the fact that he was going to hold a son-in-law ceremony for her in the near future, and she panicked.

"That's not okay." Kubler put the other hand on Satie's hand, "You are asking me for help, how can I give you whatever I want?"

Sati looked at the goddess in front of her in surprise, "When should I ask you for help?"

After being confused for a while, Kubler suddenly realized that she had misunderstood Satie's behavior and made a big joke, but her expression remained unchanged, and she smiled instead, "You have pain in your heart, and those who suffer are those who want to I beg for help."

"But there are so many suffering people in this world, Goddess, how can you help them one by one?" Satie was even more surprised by her answer, but Kubler smiled, "There is no need to find them one by one, there must be suffering. If people find me, I will help them."

Sati opened her mouth, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this, so she stopped making arguments, and helped Kubele to sit down on the side with a bitter face. She told Kubele about her love for Shiva, and then She told of her father's distaste for Shiva, so much so that she finally burst into tears.

Kubler put his hand on Satie's hair, "I understand."

To put it simply, this thing is that Sati has a crush on Shiva, and Shiva also has feelings for her, but I don’t know why he is not willing to marry. What makes people feel even more pitiful is——Sati’s father Dasha He is also not satisfied with this great god being his son-in-law.

... To be honest, Dasha, let's put it in the place where she was originally, has been killed by all kinds of gods who have blocked her luck a hundred and eighty times.

Kubele thought about the information he got from Vishnu. Since Shiva's followers can obtain Shiva's gift through penance, then...

"Lovely child, why don't you try penance. When your penance satisfies him, he will appear in front of you and ask you what kind of grace you want him to give you."

Kubler looked at Satie with a smile, and the latter listened to the idea given by the goddess with wide eyes, "When the time comes, you will ask him to marry you."

"If you are worried that your father will stop you, I will ask him to ask you to accompany me."

She also had reason to ask Vishnu for a mortal mountain as a temporary residence.

Obviously Vishnu did not persuade Daksha not to become one of the obstacles to his daughter's marriage with Shiva, and Vishnu didn't care much about it. He knew that Daksha was courteous to him, but at the same time he He is also an arrogant Rabbi, so it was expected that he could not be persuaded this time.

That's why he asked Kubler to go around - this goddess can't see things in both eyes, and naturally has difficulty in moving. Naturally, Dasha needs Satie, the only one who is not yet married, to accompany her around.

Kubler didn't know about the touch ceremony, but he heard her say that in her world, anyone who asks for someone will hug the other party's knees and make a prayer—this is the same as the touch ceremony Some are similar, but the function is different.

In addition, this goddess only wanted a holy place of her own in the mortal world, so he was relieved to let Kubele go to contact Sati.

However, things were just as he thought. Kubele asked Dasha if he could let Satie follow him. She has always been a domineering goddess. If Dasha showed any sign of disagreement with her, she planned to grab her up.

Fortunately, Dasha saw that her seemingly gentle expression showed some hostility that other goddesses would not have, and thought that it would not be good to offend the goddess who appeared with Luo Yantian—even though he just rejected the other party's idea. To persuade yourself to marry Sati to Shiva's mind.

So Dasha agreed to give Satie to Kubele. The former showed a shy smile, holding Kubele's hand and following her - Vishnu looked at Kubele on the side, and said with a smile, "Goddess, let Satie take you far away. The place where your lion stops is the place I promised you to worship you in the mortal world."

Kubele felt something was wrong, she turned her head slightly and turned her face to Vishnu, frowning and thinking for a while, before she realized it belatedly.

Well, you Luo Yan, you actually calculated that even she was involved in the calculation together!

Kubele's frowning expression fell into Vishnu's eyes. He knew that this goddess was not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he knew that he had planned on her in Sati's affairs, so he laughed and said : "Goddess, the place you step on is a blessed place, and Sati is a blessed person with you."

He still hopes that Kubele will stay in the sea of ​​the universe instead of going to Nisa Mountain. It is normal for Satie to practice asceticism, but... Kubele is a goddess who indulges in enjoyment, not to mention that she does not need to pass Penance to seek some grace.

He was also a little worried that she would think it would be quicker to just tie Shiva and Sati together because she knew how difficult the penance Sati was going to go through.

However, I have to admit that Vishnu had a very clear understanding of Kubler in such a short period of time—that’s what she thought, although Narayan didn’t think there was anything wrong with this idea—— He was originally a person who didn't often do things according to common sense, but for other gods, Kubler's thoughts and actions were quite shocking.

Kubler only stayed in Nisa Mountain for a period of time, and she was not very mobile. Living in Nisa Mountain might as well go back to Shesha.

So she put the lions on Nisa Mountain—they are the attendants of the mistress of the beasts, and they are docile to the master, but even if they are released into the forest, they are no less ferocious than any wild beast—and then returned to the sea of ​​the universe.

"Goddess." Vishnu, who found her back on Shesha, smiled and said to Kubele, "It's a pleasure to see you again."

"..." Kubler saw that he didn't feel guilty about calculating himself at all, and suddenly his face was a little displeased, but he heard Vishnu say, "The enthusiastic goddess, because of my negligence, I didn't explain the situation here to you. The custom, the sacrificial rites, have caused you the filthiness of your zeal, and I need to apologize to you, and if you will, I am willing to explain to you all your doubts."

"..." Facing his words, Kubler really had nothing to say, and Na Luo accepted everything, and then comforted her with soft words, so that she couldn't express the anger in her heart, so she could only sigh , "Narayan, next time you can't count me like this again."

"If Goddess wishes, then of course it will be like that at that time." Na Luoyan's answer made even the hard-hearted people feel soft-hearted after hearing it. Kubele completely lost his temper, and just walked up to Shesha and sat down. Feet immersed in the sea of ​​the universe, she said after a while, "I think... Sati and Shiva, even if they become husband and wife, it will not last long."

Hearing this, Vishnu showed a sad expression on his face, and finally shook his head, "Goddess, the future is always unpredictable, and people who are in the present can only wait until that moment, to know what the future holds.”

However, Kubler knew that he had acquiesced to his premonition, so he also sighed, "So, why do you have to let Shiva marry Sati?"

"Sati is the other half of Shiva and his other half of power. Only when they are combined can they be a complete 'Shiva'." Vishnu said softly, "But their life..." He Without saying the next word, the fingers holding the lotus gently twisted the stalk of the lotus, and finally heaved a long sigh.

"As you said, Narayan, the future will only know what she looks like when it is in front of you." Kubler's toes gently fiddled with the sea water of the sea of ​​the universe, "You might as well wait, maybe the future does not have you It's so cruel to think."

"Yes." Vishnu narrowed his eyes, and he smiled very dignifiedly and beautifully, and because of his gentle temperament, he won the respect of many gods.

"Beautiful Sati's penance wants to satisfy Shiva, and someone needs to tell Shiva that there is another ascetic who is tougher than him in this world. This person is not suitable for you, nor for Brahma. Well, he should be a celestial being." When Kubele stopped thinking about Narayan and her calculation, he began to help Brahma and Narayan calculate Shiva.

"I have a good candidate, and he will appear before Shiva in due time." Narayan added to her calculations, "And, even the sage does not know, we are trying to make Shiva Let her mother-in-law get consummation and be with his other half." He didn't even use the word calculation, and he didn't seem to regard this kind of thing as a calculation at all—that is, it was originally a fact that Satie could sacrifice to such a degree for love. An admirable penance.

Later, as they thought, Shiva appeared in front of Sati, and the latter's penance satisfied him and fulfilled her desire to be his wife-this request was not made by Sati , is his own will.

However, the biggest difficulty between them was Daksha. He resolutely refused to marry Sati to Shiva, and even held a son-in-law selection ceremony for her. On Shiva's neck, they were married.

After they got married, the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, but Daksha did not give up insulting Shiva. When Vishnu received his invitation, the corners of his smiling mouth were no longer curved, and his eyes became cold. one slice.

"What's the matter?" Kubler asked aloud, feeling that the breath on his body was not right.

"The marriage between Shiva and Sati is coming to an end." Vishnu closed his eyes and opened them again after a while, "I will not go to this fire ceremony, and neither will you. "

"..." Kubler looked at him, and finally had to sigh and asked, "Since you know their marriage is coming to an end, why don't you help them? Things are always made by people. "

"And then?" Vishnu shook his head, "Can I help them for a lifetime? Can Dasha give up his insult to Shiva? It is very difficult to change people's hearts, Goddess."

"So...you just think about letting Sati die and be reborn as Shiva's wife?" Kubele is a god after all, and he has some understanding of Narayan's thoughts.

"Goddess," Vishnu said softly, "If I had other ways, I would not have let things become like this." There was a hint of pain in his voice, "Even if she is reborn, Shakti is still the same. Shakti, Sadie, but not Sadie any more."

"..." Kubler took a deep breath towards Naroyan who said these words, and finally could only shake his head, "It's chilling to say these words from your mouth."

"..." This time, the eloquent Vishnu also stopped talking, and when Sati jumped into the fire to burn himself, he also closed his eyes.

When Shiva knew that his beloved wife jumped into the fire and burned herself into a charred wreckage, he rushed to the scene angrily-all the gods who participated in the sacrifice but failed to stop Sati from killing were all killed by his anger The impact-the gods fled under Shiva's big Lu Nairo in embarrassment, and Vishnu finally couldn't continue watching. He appeared in front of the gods and fought with Shiva.

Kubele sat on Shesha, feeling the battle between the two gods, sighed at last, and said, "The arrow Shiva used to shoot at Vishnu should turn into a rain of flowers— — and his bowstring will be snapped."

If she speaks, everything will come true - so the arrow that was supposed to shoot through Vishnu turned into a shower of flowers, and Shiva's bowstring broke after shooting the arrow.

Kubele appeared beside Narayan, and said to Shiva, who was furious, "I understand your anger, but I don't allow you to touch Narayan." The cane on her back tapped the ground lightly, "Your Satie is there." She extinguished the burning sacrificial fire, "Go and take her away."

At this time, Shiva woke up from his anger. Looking at the charred remains of his wife, he let out a mournful cry, hugged his wife and left the land. Kubele went to Sala whose nose had been cut off Beside Swati, she clutched the cut off part and wept bitterly. Kubele put his hand on it, and when he took it away, Goddess of Wisdom's nose returned to its original state.

Seeing this, the god of fire, Agni, whose arm had been cut off, went to Kubele and begged her, "Goddess, please restore my arm to its original state." His request was granted.

The gods didn't know where this mighty goddess came from, so they whispered. They saw her defending the respected Narayan before, and they thought she was his Shakti incarnation-this goddess must be Narayan's companions, they thought so, and they praised and shouted: "Praise Narayan Heaven."

Kubler frowned, but Naroyan told the gods like this: "This goddess is not my partner." He spoke softly, "Please thank her, and thank her—not me—for maintaining you."

Saying so, he turned his gaze to the direction where Shiva was leaving with Sati in his arms, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he projected the Divine Chakra in his hand.

This chakra will tear Sati's wreckage into countless pieces-although this will make Shiva painful and crazy, but the world does not allow him to indulge in the pain of losing his wife for a long time.

Vishnu never cared about being blamed for being a villain, as long as it was for balance.
