Saraswati Saves the World from Shiva's Third Eye and the Beast of Doom

 

Shiva was woken from his meditations and looked around to discover a world on

the brink of corruption and being unsalvageable. Shiva decided it was time to

wipe the slate clean. Shiva, the destroyer, opened his world destroying third

eye attempting to destroy the three worlds.. Out came a terrible fire that

threatened all existence.

 

There was panic everywhere. Only Saraswati remained calm. "Shiva's fire burns

only that which is impure and corrupt."

 

She took the form of a river and with her pure waters picked up the dreaded fire

from Shiva's third eye. Within the folds of her water she carried the fire far

away from the earth to the bottom of the sea where it transformed into a fire

breathing mare called *Badavagni* – the beast of doom."So long as the world is

pure and man wise, this terrible creature will

remain on the bottom of the sea. When wisdom is abandoned and man corrupts the

world, *Badavagni *will emerge and destroy the universe," foretold the

wise goddess.
