19. The divinely wrathful Durvāsa born of a portion of Bhagavān Śrīkaṇṭha-Rudra comes as a guest to the abode of Kṛṣṇa & Rukminī. Harassing them greatly, only in order to show their greatness, he asks both to cover their bodies with Pāyasa. What happens next? #shivabhAratam
19. Cont’d: Seeing the self-mastery of Kṛṣṇa, Durvāsa then blesses him to have eternal fame & to be looked upon by humans with the same love as would be food! (What a unique blessing?!). Every part of his body obediently covered with Pāyasa will be impregnable…….+
+And Kṛṣṇa covered every part of his body with Pāyasa, except his feet, at which that fierce portion of Rudra was disappointed.

And the rest, as they say, is history, for we know what will happen to those feet. #shivabhAratam #शिवभारतम्
Thus, we see श्रीकण्ठ-रुद्र’s deep involvement with every key incident in the महाभारत. #शिवभारतम् #shivabhAratam
