dISCUSSION BETWEEN OX AND THE COW

One legged ox was questiong the cow why it was weeping.O gomaatha!why are you crying?What is the reason behind your sorrow? Are you concerned that bad people wouldcapture me and hurt me?Are you afraid that ineligible people would take over you? ARE you concerned that people would stop performing yagnaas and yaagaas and deprive pithrudevathas of food?Are you tensed over the issue that kings would humiliate people with vast knowledge and education would go into the hands of bad people/Are you afraid that cheap and cruel people would become kings?Are you concerned that Brahmins would stop studying vedas and become waste fellows?Are you stressed over the fact that women have no protection?Are you afraid that husbands would leave their wives and children would not look after their parents?Are you concerned over the fact that people would get more interested in fulfilling their physical desires than attaining moksha?Are you afraid that because of growing sin all over,crops and water bodies would dry up?Are you sorry over the fact that Sree Krishna who came toi lessen your burden had left this earth?Are you afraid that sinners would harm you from now on wards/? Bhoomatha in the form of cow replied...O dharma devathaa! Ee lokambuna poorvamu naalugu paadamula neevu nadathuvu nedaa Sree lalanesudu lemini kaalamuche neeku nonti kaalayyegade! What are all the reasons you expressed for my sorrow are true.Sree Krishna had departed from this world.He had all the good qualities in him like truth,kindness,happiness,peace,equality,helping nature,philosophical attitude,knowledge,well versed,valor,strength,rememberance,freedom,character,stability,fame,not being proud and many other good qualities.Now,Sree Krishna is no more.Because of the effect of Kali,people are becoming sinners and unhealthy.No one is safe from now onwards.As long as he was here,I was happy and the entire land was full of greenery and fertile.I do not know what is going to happen in future.
