BIRTH OF GARUDA ARUNA AND ALL SNAKES GETTING CURSED BY THEIR MOTHER TO DIE

Garuda and Aruna get Birth, Aruna becomes Charioteer of the Sun god and Kadru curses all the snakes to die

At some stage in Satya Yuga; one Yuga out of four Yugas or eras, King Daksha Prajapati; son of lord Brahma had two fascinating daughters named Kadru and Vinata. They got married to sage Kashyap; one out of seven incredible sages, regarded as Saptarishis. being pleased by way of his wives’ conscientiousness, he wanted to provide boons to both of them. Hearing this from their husband, Kadru asked one thousand snakes to be her son whereas, Vinata asked for two sons mightier than that Kadru's sons. Kashyap granted the boons and left for the forest.

(Please check the below video👇 in Hindi)

Kadru laid a thousand eggs and Vinata eggs respectively. After five hundred years, all the eggs laid by Kadru got hatched in warm containers, and snakes came out of them. while the two eggs laid via Vinata didn’t get hatched, which made her truly ashamed and illiberal. Vinata impatiently broke one of her eggs with the aid of her very own arms and saw her son inside the egg whose top part was nicely grown and healthy however his lower part was not. he was Aruna dev.

Infuriated Aruna cursed Vinata, “Mother! due to your greedy and impulsive choice, I am in part grown, you'll continue to be the slave of Kadru for five hundred years. Your other son can relieve you of your slavery, only in case you let him develop completely. For that, you have to look ahead to five hundred years with forbearance. after that, he flew toward the sky. From that time, inside the east course, the redness seen within the sky is known as him sitting on the sun god’s chariot as his charioteer.

After completing the specified time, the second egg  Vinata hatched, and Garuda dev was born from it. he turned into a big nicely-built bird. He possessed countless energy and strength that even outmatched gods. As soon as he was born, he became hungry and flew away trying to find meals. During Samudra Manthan or churning of the milk ocean, alongside nectar and others Uchaisravas; the seven-headed white divine horse moreover came out of churning. seeing the horse that time, Kadru asked Vinata the colour of the horse.

Vinata noted the shade of the horse to be white and challenged Kadru to confirm the right colour of the horse. Kadru admitted Vinata regarding the shade of uchaisravas to be white but she referred to the pony’s tail as black colored. Kadru challenged Vinata, “If the tail of a horse is black you will be a slave of mine, if no longer black then I will come to be your slave.”

They each decided to affirm the colour of the tail through themselves the very subsequent day. Kadru wanted to defeat Vinata thru dishonesty. Consequently, she cautioned all her sons to shape as black hair and attach themselves to the horse’s tail as she did no longer opt to emerge as Vinata's slave. The snakes refused to obey their mother’s command. Kadru cursed the snakes who left out her order to be lifeless in the havan hearth that would happen by kuru king Janamejaya. As referred to earlier in my posts, Janamejaya later achieved Sarpa Satra yajna to avenge his father; Parikshit’s demise. Nearly all of the snakes died in that fireplace.
