When the Earth was in danger 5 /8 Prelude (For Prelude please see part 1 ) Watching the changing season all around, to enchant the dance of Urvashi*, The Earth began to dance too, thinking that Urvashi’s* dance would save the earth, What a splendid scene it was, which was spreading a magic everywhere on earth, No one had ever witnessed this beauty and grandeur, Neither anywhere in the heaven, nor anywhere even on earth. Breathless and motionless they were watching only, Under the influence of intoxication, produced by the seasons Goddess Spring, The last efforts of Urvashi,* to save the earth and all its beautiful creatures. 19 Suddenly a shocking incident took place, shattering the hopes of everyone, While dancing with Lord Shiva, pride entered into the mind of Urvashi*, She began to think that she was performing her dance, as good as that of Lord Shiva*, and This thought began to disturb her mind, disturbing the coolness of her flawless dance. 20 Watching the seed of pride, sprouted in the mind of Urvashi*. The Goddess Earth, ‘Dhara’* thought, “Now the destruction is inevitable,” If not stopped immediately, the seed of pride rising high in Urvashi’s mind, Could become the cause of Shiva’s rage and the destruction of our Earth and the Universe. Not only she too would burnt alive in the cosmic heat of Shiva’s third eye*, but The whole of this beautiful Earth and the wonderful Universe too would be, In flames of that cosmic heat and life from this most beautiful planet, Would vanish forever and forever. 21 A sudden incident took place in that moment, which disturbed the balance of Urvashi, Urvashi* fell on the ground, while she was at the peak of her divine dance, Her dance came to a abrupt halt and with that even Shiva’s Tandava* stopped too, Lord Shiva opened his eyes to see, What had happened, which forced him to stop his dance suddenly.
