Rivers 05 - Saraswati Saves The Universe Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Rivers 05 - Saraswati Saves The Universe
Padmapuranam
A terrible battle was fought between
the Hehayas and the Bhargavas;
the fierce weapons they used
against each others produced a fire
called Badavagni, that threatened
to consume the entire universe.
Beseeched by the Devas,
Brahma directed Saraswati
to deposit the fire in the ocean.
Saraswati, carries the Badavagni
to the ocean, on her way
rested at lake Pushkar Lake
finally reached the ocean
and complied with Brahma's bidding,
thus saved the Universe
from the impending disaster.
