Slokam 4

The sages don’t just get angry, but actually curse Jaya and Vijaya.  The curse is not only severe but also delivered without any regret,  as though a grave crime had been committed. They are cursed to become demons.

Jaya and Vijaya’s reaction is very illuminative of their dedication to the Paramathma.  Jaya and Vijaya immediately pray that even in their demonic form,  their Bhakthi for the Paramathma should not diminish.

The devotion of Jaya and Vijaya to the Paramathma needs to be emulated by all of us. 

May we be blessed to be permanently conscious of the Paramathma even in times of great distress.
