Durvasa Forgiven

Chapter 5

Durvasa humbly fell at the feet of Ambarish, who was somewhat embarrassed by the sage’s surrender. The King fervently prayed for Sudarshan’s withdrawal, and Durvasa Muni was mercifully spared. Feeling unlimitedly grateful, Durvasa praised Ambarish’s character, amazed at how he was able to overlook all his offences without any grudge whatsoever. Ambarish then served Durvasa Muni with great devotion and finally accepted his own prasadam, having fasted for the entire year that Durvasa was being chased! In his later years, Maharaja Ambarish divided all his property among his sons and retired to the bank of Manasa-sarovara to spiritually immerse himself.
