Longer than the
Longest
It is said that hit a person where it
pains most. If a person has wealth, if the wealth vanishes, he feels bad.
Theoritically we humangs have a
longevity of 120 years.
However, for dhEvas our one year is one day for them. Like this several years of
dhEvA-s is the longevity of brahmA. It takes yugA-s for one brahmA to complete
his lifecycle.
Hence, his life cycle is the longest among
all.
He was haughty regarding this. With
thinking that nobody has got
longer life-span than his, he had a bloated ego.
Hence, to blow off
hisgo the best thing is to look
for a person who has longer life-span, the Lord gave a boon. the event is as
follows:
'rOmasA' was a rishi. He spent long years
of worhsip towards sriman nArAyaNA. When the Lord appeared in frontof Him, he
requested for long life span of several brahmAs. The name of this rishi came
from the fact that he had lot of hairs in his body. the Lord blessed him
" after each brahamA life -one hair will
fall from your body. After all the hair falls, your life will come to an end.'.
Thus he was given the longer life longer than the longest of brahmA and
'brahmA-s' ego was thus bloated.
This aspect is briefly narrated in the
second pAsuram of kAzhich sErAma viNNagaram divya-dEsam.
"nAnumugan, nAL migai,
tharukkai irukku vAi mai,
nala-migu-sEr vurOmasanAl
naviRri..."3-4-2
