Lk20. Brahma Appeases Yama

LAVA KUSA (UTTARAKANDA) When Lord Yama thought A losing battle he fought, He took the final weapon To Kill Ravana, the demon. That was Brahma's weapon, The rod for total destruction. Seeing it, gods of the heaven Rushed to Lord Brahma then. Pacifying Yama, Brahma told, "Oh Lord of Death, you're bold, But it's a dangerous weapon, That'll, in the end, spare none." "A total disaster it'll cause, Destroying the total mass, Including Ravana, the demon, Thus falsifying my given boon." "If my boon to Ravana fails, My words also go false, So, please spare your rod From destroying the world." Yama gave due respect To Lord Brahma's request And disappeared at last, From the main battle front. This way Ravana declared That Yama was conquered, And back in his aerial car He flew as a false winner. Thereafter Yama went back To go ahead with his work, While Narada rose to heaven, As what he aimed, it was done. It was Narada's intention To draw the attention Of the silent heaven For killing this demon Narada's plot, be it whatever, Whenever and wherever, Its result was always good, About his nature, it was said.
