Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

The name Daksha also means a person of great skill, and as the sage in charge of fire rituals, it proves that he would establish a culture through this.

By controlling and taming nature through fire rituals, humans could make it controllable and predictable, thereby alleviating their fear. In other words, it was a form of domestication: taming fire and confining it to the altar, taming water and confining it to a water jug, and taming plants and animals so that some became auspicious offerings and others became inauspicious items.

In addition to taming nature, even humans themselves were 'tamed,' with the original human being dismembered and divided into different human types, thus giving rise to social classes.

This is a manifestation of the destiny trajectory of all laws in the Indian universe.

“God Gavia, I beg you, if you speak to Lord Shiva, he will surely go. In this way, the conflict between Father and Lord Shiva may be resolved. After all, didn’t Lord Shiva stop that terrible venom when churning the Ocean of Milk before?”

I believe that Father actually acknowledges Lord Shiva, but he's unwilling to say it directly due to past pride. This time, it's proof that Father wants to ease the tension. Please, Gavia.

Seeing that Gavia remained silent for a long time, Satie spoke somewhat anxiously.

In her view, the god with whom her beloved had the best relationship was Gavia. Shiva had been waiting for Gavia to attend his wedding with Sati, and Sati sometimes heard Shiva say this about Gavia: "Gavia may seem gentle, but understanding him is by no means easy! That is why he is the god of allegiance besides us."

This is enough to show how much Shiva values ​​it.

“I will, Shiva will go, and Brahma and Vishnu will go too.”

Gavial knew perfectly well that Shiva's reason for refusing Sati was to prevent the self-immolation, but Sati was a stubborn, headstrong, impulsive, and passionate young woman. She would never easily obey Shiva's demands and might secretly return. In her view, as long as her lover and father spent more time together, they could surely reconcile...

“That’s wonderful! I’ll go home right now and wait for you, God Gavia, to bring Lord Shiva to my house! My father and I will definitely treat you well!”

After receiving Gavia's promise, Sati jumped up excitedly and ran out.

After watching Sati's figure disappear from sight, Gavia softly called out into the forest:

"Nandi".

"What are your commands, God Gavia?"

Instantly, a white bull appeared before Gavia and spoke respectfully.

His name is Nandi, a symbol of the bountiful land, a guardian of promised grace, and also the mount of Shiva, the most faithful follower, and the protector of Shiva's abode.

His status was probably comparable to that of Shesha of Vishnu, or Phritha of Gavia today.

What is Shiva doing right now?

“God Gavia, my lord was in samadhi after you left.”

Samadhi, also known as meditation in Hindu mythology, refers to focusing attention on one point, concentrating the mind, entering a state of one-pointedness of mind, preventing the mind from being scattered, and moving away from agitation and dullness to enter a state of equanimity and balance, or keeping the mind in a correct state.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll have Shiva walk out again—"

“Ah, God Gavia, my lord has come out, and I will carry you to find my lord.”

Originally, Gavia didn't want to disturb Shiva's meditation, but since they had already left, they decided to meet immediately... even though they had only been apart for a short time.

"What does the Gavia myth say about your opinion of my lord?"

Nandi, who was walking slowly step by step, suddenly asked.

"Shiva possesses all virtues and art, is full of wisdom, is incredibly powerful, is the teacher, is everything, for the world Shiva is everything."

Gavia shrugged. "Of course, that's how I see all the gods, including Brahma and Vishnu."

Soon, Gavia, carried by Nandi, arrived at the spot where he had just been and took another look at the scenery unfolding before him.

The cloudless, azure sky was dazzlingly bright, vast and clear, as if one could even see the distant starry sky and the swaying darkness. The gentle river, reflected in the blue sky, was tinged with a glassy hue, sparkling like crystal under the transparent sunlight.

The entire field of vision was filled with an endless expanse of dazzling colors, a pure, tranquil, and beautiful scene.

It's a fantastical scene detached from reality, but that's normal, since this is the place where the god Shiva resides.

“Gavia, you understand. This invitation from Daksha is full of malice. Sati and I cannot go.”

As soon as Shiva finished speaking, Gavia glanced at him.

Shiva paused slightly at this, then continued, "Even if Sati goes now, I won't go. You can't persuade me."

“But this is the first time Dasha, your father-in-law, has invited you. It wouldn’t be right not to go.”

Gavia continued to glance sideways at Shiva, with an expression that seemed to find it quite amusing.

“He did it only to humiliate me, which is why I told Sadie not to go.”

"Even if you and Sati have felt the breeze in the fields, tasted the incense of the sea on the beach, and admired the beautiful starry sky at night, you still won't go?"

Shiva remained silent, turning his head away without saying a word.

"You know what kind of person Sadie is..."

Then Gavia shrugged and chuckled, “Even if I’m not there, even if I didn’t agree to go, she would still go, and you would go secretly out of concern for her, wouldn’t you?”

"...Mind your own business, this is the only time."

After he growled with bared teeth, Gavia chuckled softly.

“We are the gods of mutual respect. If anyone disrespects one of us, either one will be insulted.”

Then Gavia raised her gaze, her deep blue eyes, as calm as the sea.

You will never be humiliated because of this.

……

At the same time, in the Ocean of Milk, Brahma appeared before Vishnu, accompanied by a golden light.

The moment he appeared, Brahma, with a melancholy expression, said to Vishnu:

"How long does Daksha intend to humiliate me? Everyone is trying to persuade him, but he shows no sign of understanding and insists on insulting Shiva in front of everyone. Even if he does it, what's the point? Sati and Shiva's love is already a done deal..."

Brahma sighed.

"This problem needs to be solved."

"The problem stems from arrogance."

Vishnu smiled and said, “Arrogance is enough to turn a thoughtful and learned person like Daksha into a fool. You have personally witnessed and seen his folly. He has already placed the mirror of truth at the door.”

The Mirror of Truth is a magical artifact that reveals everything about everyone, even the gods.

Daksha knew that Shiva was aware of his aversion to Shiva, so after Sati arrived, Daksha thought that Shiva would most likely come in disguise, thus being rejected by the Mirror of Truth and embarrassing himself in front of the invited gods and immortals. This was Daksha's purpose.

"This……"

"However, you shall wait and see."

Vishnu smiled.

"With Jia's assistance, this Mirror of Truth will play an enormous role."

……

At this moment, in a luxurious place where countless flowers and green leaves are distributed from the seats, the floor, the walls, and the ceiling of the deepest part of the hall, and firelight fills everything, many people are preparing for the celebration that Daksha invited the gods to attend.

"Did the god Gavia give this to me?"

"Yes, that's what my Lord said."

"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas".

Ignoring the smug-looking Vritra in front of him, or rather, the Asura aura emanating from him, Daksha looked at the Shiva statue that Vritra had brought him and couldn't help but smile with delight.

In Daksha’s view, his hatred of Shiva was naturally known to the great Himalayan lord, Gavia.

But now, Vritra has sent him a statue of Shiva. Regardless of his true intentions, this is an unexpected delight for Daksha, who was preparing to insult Shiva. This way, he can use the Shiva statue sent by Gavia as the gatekeeper of the hall, in other words, to greet every guest who enters and exits and be constantly insulted.

"By the way, my lord said that the god of love, Kama, will also be coming. Dasha, remember to send out invitations."

“…Kama?”

Dasha was slightly taken aback, and it took him several seconds to remember that he had this Cupid 'son-in-law'. He would have almost forgotten about it if Frido hadn't reminded him.

"I will certainly do so..."

However, Daksha, regaining his senses, immediately nodded, "But I wonder what connection Kama has with the god Gavia that makes Gavia so attentive..."

"I do not know."

Frido shook her head. She was just a messenger; how could she possibly know what Gavia was thinking?

"Is that so? Forgive my intrusion."

Although he had not learned the specific reason, Dasha felt that since Kama was able to have some connection with the god Gavia, he should pay more attention to him.

Daksha, as a fire-worshipping sage, had many daughters, almost all of whom married gods. Daksha viewed this as an exchange; if his daughters displeased or angered a god, he would fly into a rage.

He also categorized the gods his daughter married into different ranks in his mind.

He didn't ask too much about things like Rhodi, who married Kama; he only casually met her a long time ago and said he knew about it.

Now, Kama's standing in Daksha's heart has risen rapidly because of what Vritra just said, and so has Rhodi's.

After Daksha personally wrote an invitation to Kama and his wife, he looked at the Shiva statue in the hall and couldn't help but smile again.

"Just you wait and see, Shiva. What will you gain by opposing me, and what will I gain? Even if I deprive you of the right to enjoy fire sacrifices, you will still remain unenlightened. I will humiliate you, and continue to do so until you are no longer a god of righteousness!"

Come on over.

O arrogant Shiva, unworthy to be a god of form; Shiva, who should be like an Asura.

Watch as this immortal humiliates you right now in front of everyone.

Daksha hated Shiva not only because Shiva was Brahma's mind-born son, and Brahma had his head cut off by Shiva, but also because he felt that Shiva himself was not worthy of being one of the gods.

In his view, his father Brahma created the entire world, the great Buddha Vishnu worked tirelessly to maintain it, and the noble Lord of the Himalayas, Kavia, was trusted by all the gods and men. Only Shiva remained detached from worldly affairs, devoting himself to ascetic practices every day…

As for the credit for Shiva swallowing the potentially world-destroying venom in the Ocean of Milk? Sorry, Daksha believes that was entirely Gavial's doing.

In short, in Daksha's mind, Shiva is not worthy of being worshipped as a noble deity, but should be despised by all living beings, just like the Asuras.

Fire sacrifice means taming. By mastering this power for a long time, Daksha became a conservative rule-maker who did not even allow Shiva to trample on his rules. In Daksha's view, all things in the world were moving forward under his guidance, and all living beings should respect him and believe in this rule. Even as a god of form, he had to perform the etiquette of a son-in-law.

While Mahasthamaprapta was gentle, this was only in relation to certain individuals, and he would naturally ignore them. However, in Daksha's eyes, Shiva was being too arrogant.

This is also one of the points of contention between the two: Daksha's rules and Shiva's pride.

However, what Daksha didn't know was what kind of surprise the Mirror of Truth, which he thought would embarrass Shiva, would bring him.

Whoever walks before the Mirror of Truth will reveal their true form, but how can the Mirror of Truth reflect those who have never walked before it?

Kama Jpg.

Chapter 296 Kama: The god Gavia who stole my job is a bit cunning.

The midday sun was dazzling and intense; everything was too bright, and everything was shimmering in a bright white light.

In a beautiful and luxurious space where sunlight streams in through large windows adorned with numerous flowers, a grand ceremony is beginning at Dasha.

"Praise be to the Great Heaven."

"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas".

"Praise be to the World-Honored One."

"Praise be to Brahma."

At the main gate, everyone who passed through the Mirror of Truth that Daksha had specially prepared subconsciously offered their praise for Daksha's preparations.

Just as if to sing the praises of life with all its might, whether inside or outside Dasha, or even hundreds of kilometers away, all kinds of flowers and plants are bright and beautiful, vying for attention; while the lush greenery, so dense as to be almost infinite, stretches its branches and leaves toward the azure sky that is unique to this era, as if the entire celestial sphere is shining brightly.

This was the opening ceremony that Daksha had prepared for this ritual, and many gods and immortals participated, but of course, Asuras were not allowed to enter.

As for the disguised Asura, there was no way to escape the 'truth' of the Mirror of Truth. Once he passed through it, he would subconsciously turn back into himself and slink away as ashes. This was undoubtedly something to celebrate for Daksha, who had been guarding the gate.

Daksha was just waiting to make Shiva, who had come in disguise, look foolish in front of the gods.

However, after waiting and waiting, Daksha did not see the disguised Shiva, but only a few Asuras, which inevitably disappointed him. So when Daksha turned around to look at the Shiva statue in the hall, he saw that Vritra was eating voraciously. Not only was his mouth full of food, but there was also a mountain of food on the plate in front of him.

This made Dasha frown slightly. It wasn't because Fulido ate a lot that he was like this. After all, it was just food, and Dasha didn't care at all. It was just a subconscious habit.

As the Asura King who led the Asura race before the Ocean of Milk, Vritra left a deep impression on the immortals and gods present. They might have even been beaten by him. Daksha, on the other hand, was a staunch supporter of the gods and therefore disliked the Asuras. This can be seen from his feeling that Shiva should be despised like the Asuras.

However, since Phrixus was now Gavia's attendant, the sages and gods, including Daksha, couldn't say much...

But you can probably tell everyone's attitude from the fact that Felix alone made one. However, Felix didn't care and just ate and drank like crazy.

Daksha looked past Vritra and placed his gaze on the Shiva statue at the far end of the hall, a slight smile creeping onto his lips.

Besides making the disguised Shiva look foolish in the Mirror of Truth, his plan also included preventing Shiva from actually coming. He would then use the excuse that Shiva had been married to Sati for a long time, yet he was late for the wedding he, the father-in-law, was hosting, which was a disgrace to the dignity of the god of prophecy. Therefore, he would use his father's name to make Sati and Shiva divorce.

"Wow."

"Wow, so beautiful..."
