And
on securing admission into the inner most chamber by Nandi with great
difficulty, he reached Siva Sannidhi, and found the Adidampatis engaged in
amorous sports. Finding them indifferent to his presence, he grew angry and
cursed them. When he went to Satyaloka, Brahma never even got up to receive him;
for, Brighu was after all his manasapurta. Unable to stomaching the
insult, he cursed him and straightway directed his steps to Vaikunta. Still
worse! he found here Lord Vishnu in deep sleep oblivious of his duty. The
Highest divinity in the deep sleep during the day! A sight unbearable!! His
anger reached the climax Flying into irrepressible indignation, he gave a kick
on the Lord's chest. Vishnu anon got up and tactfully asked him whether he
received any injury to the foot; for, it was a forceful kick against his rock
like chest. And confessed that his negligence of protecting the world received
just punishment, ending that Brighu must be thanked for reminding his duty.
Brighu's purpose ended; and his search bore fruit. But it left disastirous
effects in the domestic scence of Lord Vishnu, as Lakshmi is ever abiding in the
chest of Lord Vishnu, she received the force of kick.
