Story of Ambreesh

Story of Ambreesh
King Ambreesh was great bhakta and son of Nabhag. He worshipped shri Krishna at Kankroli. Raja Amreesh was fully devoted to Shri Krishna in servile way. His manas (मन) was in feet of almighty, speech in eulogizing attributes of almighty, ears in listening stories of almighty, eyes in seeing the idols of almighty, hands in service of almighty and feet in pilgrimage.
 
Ambreesh was charavarti king but he was serving himself to the almighty. King Ambreesh was doing Ekadishi (eleventh day) as per prescribed norms. Raja Ambreesh was near completion of Ekadishi fast. At that time, Durvasa rishi came. Raja welcomed him and asked to take prasada. Durvasa rishi said; let him complete the Sandhya puja. Raja was to take prasada before commencement of thirteenth day. But Durvasa rishi was merged in the Sandhya puja so intensely that he could not perceive time period.
 
Raja Ambreesh was worried. He could not take food before serving it to Brahmins who are invited for the purpose. Dwadishi (twelfth day) was about finish. Brahmins permitted the king to take Prasada.
 
Durvasa rishi came and said to King Ambreesh that he has done no good by taking food before offering him. Raja Ambreesh said, he has taken only refreshment. But Durvasa rishi was furious. He took out a hair filled with magic powers and advised it to kill Raja Ambreesh. The king pleaded Narayana. Narayana killed the hair with Sudarshan Chakra. Sudarshan Chakra also followed Durvasa rishi to kill him. Durvasa rishi ran for life in various lokas (worlds). At the end, he came to Vaikuntha and prayed to Narayana for protection. Narayana told the rishi that he is dependent on Raja Ambreesh who is his great bhakta. Now, Sudarshan Chakra is under the control of Raja Ambreesh.
 
Narayana said to Durvasa rishi that he is tapasvi and has immense powers but he has misused these. What was the fault of Raja Ambreesh; who took only refreshment to protect fast? Still he was angry with him. He should go to Raja Ambreesh and beg pardon from him. Only when Bhakta Ambreesh pardons him, then only Sudarshan Chakra would stop.
 
Durvasa rishi went to Raja Ambreesh and begged pardon. Raja Ambreesh requested Sudarshan Chakra to stop for the sake of his good deeds. Sudarshan Chakra calmed down and went back. Raja Ambreesh served food to Durvasa rishi and begged his pardon. 
   
Spiritual Significance:

1. If one’s entire organs are involved in service of almighty, ego reduces.
2. When five sense organs, five organs of action and manas (मन) are dedicated in the almighty, it is called “Ekadishi”.
3. In bhakti, all the organs should be dedicated in bhakti.
4. In case, ego comes into play of bhakti, durvasana (wrong desire) develops. Durvasana begets arrogance; arrogance causes anger; anger produces harsh words. In case bhakti is pure, sudarshan chakra (means wisdom) saves bhakti.
