curse of Srungi

Pareekshiththu went for hunting one day. He was tired and thirsty.He saw a sages hut and went thereto quench his thirst.That abode belonged to sage Sameeka.the sage was doing penance.The king requested him many a time to give him as he was very thirsty. But the sage was in deep dhyaana and he could not hear his pleas.Pareekshiththu was angry that the sage did not reply and did not even open his eyes and look at the great king. He lost his composure and put the dead snake around the sages neck and went to his kingdom. children of other sages saw all this and they went to Srungi,son of Sameeka,and told him what had happened. Srungi was very angry for the humiliation his father had undergone in the hands of the king.Hey!how cruel and inconsiderate are these kings?Kings are elected to look after the welfare of the people.But they are humiliating Brahmins.Just because Sree Krishna is no more,what right do they have to ill treat the sages?Srungi went to river Kousiki,bathed and cursed the king like this.Who ever be the king who ill treated my father would die of snake bite on seventh day from now on wards. Srungi came to see his father.He saw a snake around the neck of his father. He was afraid that it would kill his father and he was crying out for help.He could not take out the dead snake as he did not know if it was living or dead.Sameeka came out of his penance hearing his sons wails.He threw away the dead snake and asked his son why he was crying and how did the snake came to lie on his neck and shoulders. Srungi told him the entire happenings of that day and how he cursed the king to be killed by a snake on the seventh day.Sameeka was aghast at his son doing. He chided his son for his acts.Oh son!why did you curse the king/He was dead while he was in his mothers womb itself.Because of Sree Krishnas grace,he was alive.He is a very good king.It was not right on your part to curse such a good king.What he did was very negligible mistake,but you gave him a great punishment. If there is no king in a country,strong people would harass weaker sections.There will be no protection for riches and women.Thieves and dacoits will increase ten fold.People will develop ill will among themselves.Caste system would not be there. Pareekshiththu is a religious man.He is born is Bharatha dynasty.He performed many aswamedhayaagaas.When he comes to out abode,we are supposed to welcome him and respect him.But,we have cursed him. Is it right? Srungi knew only to give curse. He did not know how to reverse his curse.So,Sameeka sent one of his disciples to go and inform Pareekshiththu about this curse.
