Shukracharya noticed this and realized that he did mistake by remembering him the past. He diverted his father telling,"Pithasree! You have been talking making me stand and you didn't give me prasad .Won't you feed your son who came after a long time?"Bhrigu came out from his distress and took him inside. Shukracharya saw his sister Laxmi and felt happy. Laxmi overjoyed and hugged her brother in affection.Both had a grand feast that night. Shukr showed moon to Laxmi and entertained her with many tales. Both slept outside the ashram on a cot and spent blissfully in moonlight. Shukr left again to pathal the next day morning.Narad again came to Bhrigu's ashram.Laxmi had been waiting eagerly for Narads arrival and was so enthusiastic learning about Narayana,"Devarshi! What are you going to teach me today?"Narad smiled and replied,"Bhakti ka mahathv(greatness of devotion). I'm going to narrate the story of Adisesh, from which you can understand that""Who's he",questioned Laxmi in excitement."He's the one on whose hood whole planets lie!!"Laxmi became more eager to listen about him. Narad started,"Vinatha, the mother of all birds and her younger sister, Kadru are two wives of Kasyap Prajapathi. Even though they are sibilings, they were always jealous of each other and hated one other in heart. Kasyap Prajapathi once wished to grant them any boons. Kadru wished thousand powerful sons. Vinatha whereas wished only two sons, but 1000 times more powerful than all sons of Kadru. As Kasyapa granted them boons, in a short span of time, Kadru gave birth to 1000 serpents. AdiSeshnag is one of them. Other important serpents are Taksaka and Vasuki. Vasuki became the ornament of Lord Shiv. Once ,a morning, Vinatha and Kadru were talking about Ucchaisrav, the seven headed snow white coloured flying horse of swarga. A small discussion started slowly between both about colour of it's tail and raised into a conflict. Kadru argued that it's tail colour is black and Vinatha said white. Both felt to set off to swargalok that day evening and check who's correct and who wins. They bet each other that the looser had to be a servant of winner the whole life. Meanwhile Kadru went and asked her son's about colour of tail of Ucchaisrav. Adiseshnag replied it's white. Kadru understood that she would loose and had to be the servant of her enemy. She thought a vicious plan and told her sons about the bet,"Puthr!! I'm your mother. So it's your responsibility to save my honour. Go and wind around the tail of Ucchaisrav in your serpent form so that it seems black. I won't loose. I can't become her daas. Save my life."Yet none liked to deceive their Vinatha maa. Adisesh nag, Vasuki and all her sons except Takshaka disagreed. Kadru got raged and cursed in anger," Are you my sons? I brought all of you up and you left your mother in trouble. I curse that whoever disagreed to follow my order will fall in Janamejeya's sarpyaag and die."Takshaka whereas is a wicked serpent and loved his mother a lot.Finally he agreed to do what Kadru ordered and wound himself in his serpent form around Ucchaisrav tail. That evening Kadru and Vinatha reached swargalok and went near Ucchaisrav"TO BE CONTINUED...
