00:00One sip of water and a short-tempered sage demands your head.
00:03Would you break a sacred bow or drink and face a deadly curse?
00:06The Bhagavata Purana records the trial of Ambarisha, a humble ancient king.
00:11When Durvasa, a fiery sage, delayed returning, Ambarisha drank just one sip.
00:15Enraged, Durvasa tore his hair and created a monster of fire to slay him.
00:19But Vishnu, keeper of creation, sent his blazing discus, the Sudarsana Chakra.
00:24It destroyed the demon, then turned its spinning flames upon the fleeing sage.
00:29Durvasa fled to Vishnu, who replied, I am bound by my devotees. Ask him.
00:33The proud sage fell at the king's feet and Ambarisha prayed for his life.
00:38Weaponry serves power, but devotion commands the gods.
