PLATE THREE

Upon seeing that his attempt to curse King Ambarisa had failed and
that the Lord’s Sudarsana cakra was moving toward him, Durvasa Muni
became very frightened and began to run in all directions to save his life.
As the blazing flames of a forest fire pursue a snake, the disc of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead began following Durvasa Muni.
Durvasa Muni saw that the disc was almost touching his back, and thus
he ran very swiftly, desiring to enter a cave of Sumeru Mountain. Just to
protect himself, Durvasa Muni fled everywhere, in all directions—in the
sky, on the surface of the earth, in caves, in the ocean, on different plan-
ets of the rulers of the three worlds, and even on the heavenly planets —
but wherever he went he immediately saw following him the unbearable
fire of the Sudargana cakra. (pp. 126-128)
