Kaliyan - Promise of Kali

Promise of Kali

Meanwhile, Vishnu came in front of Kali, as an old beggar(Pantaram in Tamizh) who was on his way to farewell Shiva. Then he asked Kali to donate him some of the boons which was given to him, otherwise defeat him and then proceed. The Kali said "You are an age old person. Also, you have no army and no sword or any weapons. If I quarrel with you, even the lady on my side will degrade me. So move aside and run away anywhere". Then Vishnu replied, "Then promise me that." Kali asked, "To promise on what" For that Vishnu said, "Promise on your boons, kingdom, your lady, your military and your dynasty." Kali promised, "Hereby I promised that, If I create any troubles to beggars earth, I, my lady, my boons, my kingdoms, military, all these will fail. I and my dynasty die and will go to hell." As kali promised so, Vishnu got the Chakram from him and cursed it as Money and gave it to him. As soon as it was cursed, the chakram asked Vishnu that, when this curse will finish. Vishnu replied, "When Kali was defeated it will be away from you." By carrying this money Kali told Durukthi that, we have now with us what ever we need. Then Kali went to Shiva and asked him to allow him to go to the world. By then Vishnu told to Devas to write all the happenings perfectly, and walked towards Vaikuntam.
