WHen he came to know this thing from the monkey, he cherished the desire to go to Indra soon. But there was this vast sea on the way. He was much worried to see the sea. This made him very upset and he began to weep that he would die without knowing the causes of these things. The god of s ea, takign a a human form appeared before the weeping old man but the old man due to tears in his eyes, could not see the sea god. The sea god asked him politely "why are you weeping old man?" The old man told his story. The sea god too asked him to go to Indra. Thus, once again he decided to go to Indra. But he was supposed to cross the sea to go to Indra. He spent hundred years while thinking to cross the sea. When the sea god saw the old man, he became very worried and helped him to cross the sea. But the oldman lost the way and began to wander hither and thither. He saw a big lion in the meantime. He captured the lion after a big fight and rode on him and went to the palace of Indra. Having reache there, he sent a message to him. Indra was enjoying his time very indolently. He used to punish gods and demons both without any fault. He was merry with fairies. He was busy listening to music and watching dance performed by beautiful young girls in the palace. He even did not pay attention to Brahma (creator), vishnu (protector) and Mahesh (destroyer). Even trinity had become fed up with Indra's loose character. Laxmi and Sarswati were quarreling in the house of Vishnu. Laxmi was abusing Sarswati. She was calling bad names to her. Vishnu tried to avoid this quarrel and went to sleep in the sea. Mahadev was also upset after the death of Sati. He was unable to feed his sons ganesh and Kartikey. So deranged, he went to live on a burning ghat. Brahma was very anxious at this event. He tried his best to comfort his friends. IN the meantime, Indra got this golden opportunity. So, he was paying no attention to anybody. On seeing such a disorder, the ol dman lost his temper. He determined to fight with Indra. In the beginning, all laughed at his idea, but he negotiated with all the gods and the demons. He fought with indra and defeated him. After that Indra requested the old man to save his life. He surrendered totally and came to ask his protection. The old man became very happy and gave him shelter. The old man, then, asked him the cause of his bad harvest, the cause of never ending fight between bull and the bullock, the cause of wind not blowing. Indra said "all this happened due to indolence" on hearing this, the old man proceeded towards his own village. He disclosed friends the cause of their miseries on his way back home. the old man returned after 302 years and settled there happily. Indra now began to think that whenever there is tyranny, impossible things happen. And a great man appears to abolish such a disaster ;)
