<\/a>When the wise Samika woke up, he found his son in front of him, who, with tears in his eyes, informed him of the whole incident. The father’s reaction was immediate.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhat have you done?\u201d he asked to his son. \u201cDon\u2019t you realize that Pariksit is the holiest monarch in the world and that our serenity depends on his protection? For such an insignificant offense you have led the whole world to a catastrophe. When society finds itself deprived of pure and honest guidance, everyone suffers and the peace is shattered. Unfortunately, when a Brahmana, even if young and unconscious like you, utters a curse it is bound to have an effect. I will warn Pariksit and will do everything in my power to save him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That same day one of Samika’s disciples went to Hastinapura,<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0the capital, and told the king about the latest events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n He felt very distressed, and shooking his head, said:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI accept the curse of that young man as a true blessing. In fact, from the day I dared to mistreat a saint so rudely, I have not had any more peace within me. I am happy to pay my debt in this way. I will await death with serenity, aware that in this way I will have the opportunity to atone for my sin\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a section of the book \u201cMaha-Bharata As It Is vol. 1 of 2\u201d.<\/span>
