Tripurasura
samharam a story of destruction of evil.
This
is the story of
tretayuga. There was an intelligent sage
gritasmada. Once that sage had a very big cough. From that came a child.
The main
ambition of the child was to conquer the
three worlds and to defeat indra. To change his mind the sage told that
child to
worship lord ganesha. he chanted the mantra
of lord ganesha.. lord ganesha pleased with his devotion offered him
boon, ganesha
said to the child that “I will give you three
cities made of gold, silver and iron, only lord shankara can defeat you
and with one arrow all the three cities can
be destroyed. With this boon tripurasura defeated all the kings of the
earth,
and all the gods of the heaven. He had two
sons he gave the kingdom of lord bramha to one son and the kingdom of
lord Vishnu
to the other son. Narada advised all the gods
to pray ganesha. Ganesha appeared before the gods and said that only
lord shankara
can defeat tripurasura. After that ganesha
went to tripurasura in guise of a Brahmin. He said to tripurasura that ‘
O King iam the master of 64 arts. Tripurasura
said that show me your arts if iam pleased with your arts I will give
you what
ever you want.
Ganesha
said that I
will give you three planes through which you
can go any where in the world and you can fulfill any desire. Only lord
parmeshwara
can destroy them. With this tirpurasura
became very pleased and asked Ganesha to ask him any thing in the world.
Ganesha asked
the idol of chintamani which was with lord
shiva. Shiva refused to give that idol to
tripurasura, and there started a war between lord shiva and tripurasura. Lord Shiva destroyed all the three buildings
, planes with a single arrow,
Description of the chariot
used in the war between Lord Shiva and Tripurasura.
Prithvi was the chariot,
sun and moon was the wheels, bramha was the charioteer, meru was the bow and Vishnu was the arrow.
When
Shiva released
the arrow there was a lot of lighting emitted
from it, by seeing the light tripurasura got fainted and the arrow
destroyed
all the three cities, the asuras athma came
out of the body in the form of jyothi and entered Lord Shiva.
