XXXIV : Poem
Tarimi pamu tannu daku gade..
Kapata munna vani kanipettavalenaya
Viswadha Abhirama Vinura Vema.
Telugu Version :
కంద చక్కెఱయును గాలియ బాల్పోసిన ,
తరిమి పాము తన్ను దాకు గాదె ,
కపట మున్న వాని కనిపెట్టవలయెరా ,
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ
Meaning : A snake even if fed with sweet milk regularly with love,will it show gratitude? It may chase and kill the man who fed her as it is her nature. Similarly, a crooked person even if supported and helped well will never remember and show gratitude.So it is better we are cautious in assessing the people's qualities and wisely be away from the cunning and crooked people . Otherwise, we will be in trouble.
Story : Bhasmasura a powerful Rakshasa wanted to be immortal and became greedy to rule over the world.Hence indulged in staunch Tapas and worshipped Shiva for several years.Lord Shiva was impressed wit his worship and Tapas appeared in front of Bhasmasura and offered a boon.
Then Bhasmasura asked him to bless him that he can kill anyone with his right palm. Lord Shiva had bestowed him with that boon without understanding the bad intention of the demon. Bhasmasura wanted to test this boon bestowed bt Lord shiva and hence started chasing Lord Shiva to kill him. The Scary shiva ran towards Lord Vishnu for rescue. Lord Vishnu quickly disguised as Mohini and converted the demon's weakness for women and killed him as a part of a dance competition.
This story tells the moral that Lord Shiva failed to understand and assess the crookedness of Bhasmasura and got into trouble. So we need to be careful in assessing people.
