29. The Birth of Astika

The Mahabharata Podcast - A podcast by Prashant Joshi

The liberator of the snakes prophesied by the great Brahma, would be born to the Sage Jaratkaru. This episode describes the circumstance giving rise to his birth; those of circumstances involving a sage who preferred a life of solitude than one of household domesticity. His ancestors urging him to have a child, little would they know, would also lead to the salvation of the snakes.Music:Forest Walk by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Lonesome Journey by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Hiraeth by Scott Buckley | www.scottbuckley.com.auMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Aurora by Scott Buckley | www.scottbuckley.com.auMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Artwork is partially created by Adobe Firefly Hosted on Acast.
