Q: Which scriptures describe Dadhichi hiding Kshatriya children from Parashurama?

This Wikipedia page on Dadhichi says that he saved some Kshatriya children from Parashurama's wrath by hiding them in the Hinglaj Devi Temple. This site and this wiki page on Hinglaj Mata gives an account of how a King known as Ratnasena of Sindh took shelter at Dadhichi's ashram as Parashurama...

Q: Leftover Kshatriyas after Lord Parshuram's sanitization

Lord Parshuram sanitized earth by killing kshatirya generations for 21 times. From what Dharma calls that the one who is humble and does not raise a weapon he should be granted sharanagati, & due to this Lord Parshuram would have been merciful to the Kshatriyas who surrendered to him. So accordin...

@KeshavSrinivasan So, Was Appayya Dikshitar an Advaitin?

@SwiftPushkar Does that answer refer to Hinglaj Devi?

SwiftPushkar

@Pandya -hmm no i think 😐👍

Pandya

@SwiftPushkar Btw, I find you seems copying url from address bar to link or share Q/A posts. You can use link provided by share button; links like ...../q/id and ...../a/id . Those are useful while linking or sharing posts.

SwiftPushkar

@Pandya - Yes , ok😊👍👍

Pandya

@SwiftPushkar further it can give you badges you know?

SwiftPushkar

@Pandya - oh , i didn't knew that , how 😃

Pandya

@SS. He is using full urls like https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/12438/leftover-kshatriyas-after-lo‌rd-parashuramas-sanitization instead he can use shorter url.

Q: When does all water become impure as a result of sharing Indra's guilt of brahminicide?

As per the Puranic story being discussed in this post Indra, after killing the demon called Vritra, acquired the brahmahatya dosha. His gulit was thereafter shared by women, earth, water and the trees. The women as result started to have menses and they are from then on wards considered as being...

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar Hello! Nice :) Check out my new question -> hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/18383/…

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - Yes , checked already 👍👍

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar :D

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - BTW , very thanks ,Nice edit of my answer 👍👍

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar you are too kind!

SwiftPushkar

7:07 AM

@LakshmiNarayanan - 😀😀 No oooo , but you did a nice job , so it's my duty to acknowledge your deed 🏆

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar Haha Thanks! Which questions are you answering?

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - BTW , we can ask a question about thanking someone here , like "Which scripture describes we have to say thank you to somebody who has done you some favor? " 😀

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar What is the sanskrit phrase that is used? Is Dhanyavaad applicable?

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - Actually finding source for 2-3 , let's see ...

@LakshmiNarayanan - yes Dhanyawad is right one , also Abharam Tvam Prati - आभारं त्वं प्रतिं - means thank you

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar cool

The Destroyer

7:13 AM

@LakshmiNarayanan Story of Parvatha Muni is mentioned in Sahyadri Khanda of Skanda Purana. Parvatha Muni asks Shiva boon and Shiva grants boons as per his wish.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer Son of Silada Maharishi?

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan I don't know his father. But Parvatha muni has many siblings, bhadra (on which famous Rama temple Bhadrachalam) is located. His siblings have turned to many hills in Andhra.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar Is the second one, Abharam Tvam Prati, scriptural?

@TheDestroyer Oh! That's very interesting.

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - No , its general Sanskrit grammatical sentence 📄 ,not related to scripture 😊

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan I can say both stories don't conflict. Seshadri is named after Seshachalam. Venkatadri is the hill brought by Garuda from Ksheera Sagara.

SwiftPushkar

7:19 AM

@TheDestroyer - oh , intresting , 👍👍👍

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar ok, did you learn sanskrit at some point?

@TheDestroyer they do na, (all) the hills of srisailam are said to be part of the tail of SheshaNaga according to the story.

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - from 4th standard to 10th - in school🏤📓🚸👨

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan I think Parvatha story happened first. But i think word "claimed" is not accurate in your question.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@SwiftPushkar oh wow, scholar alert! :D Most of the people i know usually take sanskrit to score marks so they take it even till 12th!

@TheDestroyer it is a claim given there are conflicting accounts :)

hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/9404/… @TheDestroyer Good Question btw

SwiftPushkar

@LakshmiNarayanan - 😂😂 me & scholar not in any manner , I don't know Sanskrit very well still , it takes years to be scholar ,I have just started 😃

The Destroyer

7:25 AM

@LakshmiNarayanan If it is claim, what about second account?

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer Yes, both are to be considered until a resolution is possible.

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan But, you mentioned word claimed only for Srisailam not for second story.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer I have changed it to 'stated', which is the same meaning as 'account', i hope this pleases you :P

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan Thanks! I already got a resolution on that. Ananta is the one which stays with Vishnu forever and sesha is the one who incarnates in every Manvantara.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer yes, AnantaShesha means endless beholden and AdiShesha means first beholden

The Destroyer

7:32 AM

@LakshmiNarayanan Thanks! Not pleasing. But neutrality :P

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer LOL, I would poke more fun but i'm afraid you will threaten to walk :P

The Destroyer

@LakshmiNarayanan btw, ex chief minister of Andhra, YSR, said he would build church on Tirumala hills (He was christian). And, tadaaa, his copter was hit to hill (part of Srisailam Hills) at Rudra Kona.

@LakshmiNarayanan Hmm.. it's better if we stop this here. :P

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer reminds me of that character, the name slips me, who badmouths Perumaal but Lord gives Moksha anyway because he wants him to stop this activity!

The Destroyer

He said Venkateswara doesn't need all 7 hills.

@LakshmiNarayanan I don't think this is Moksha.

Lakshmi Narayanan

@TheDestroyer wow, just wow

@TheDestroyer btw, where did you find the answer regarding AnantaShesha and AdiShesha?

@SwiftPushkar Yes, i totally agree. I saw some of the learning material, it is very non-trivial. Although i think there are lots of effort going on to make the whole learning process easier for people who are totally unacquainted with the language to learn and continue learning it.
