DENOUEMENT
The
Lord sooner than emerging out of the dark, damnable dungeon burst
into laughter, expressive of his victory over Saturn, but the
thundering echos of mocking laughter assailed him all around; and
when he stretched his gaze to find out the source of that jeering,
he found to his shock Saturn coming towards him with face, glowing;
eyes, flashing; frame, fluttering, and words darting-"I'am the
victor" Lord Maheswar could not realise anything - comprehended
his own mind, nor apprehend the import of Saturn's words. Totally
confused, he queried him hurriedly "How"? Then explained
Saturn, "My Lord tell me as to why you left that magnificent
Kailas, your heart's choicest abode, attended by hundreds of willing
pramadaganas and concealed yourselves here in an unknown, uncouth,
rugged, rocky, dark dungeon and sweating and suffocating yourself,
if not for the fear of my grip. My sway is absolute". Lord
Maheswar stood dumb-founded-tongue tied, eye balls stagnated,
indicating the truth of the words of Saturn and his own complete,
clean, perfect defeat. Then continued Saturn, "My Lord, all the
living divine or human are bound by the eternal laws; they pass
through the long labyrinth of life crossing ups and downs and facing
bad and good periods-sani dasa and sukla dasa. I have my painful
duty of causing misery to them during that period of ill-luck.
