Kaliyan - Nature of Kaliyan

Nature of Kaliyan

Then in kailaasham, Nandhi told Shiva that, we shall call Chithira Buthira (Chithira Buthira in Tamizh) and ask him to tell about him. As per his request Chithra Gupta was called and was asked to tell about Kali. Then Chithra Gupta started telling about him. He was born from the sixth fragment of Kroni. His body was made by assembling earth, sky and fire. The water will be the strength of him. The vayu (air) will be the prana for him. And he will be the most cruel one, of all the six fragments. He also said that, Mayon, in the previous yugas, as Narasimha, Rama, and Krishna take a body with 4 spans and so Kali in this yuga born with the body of same size and pushed himself out of earth.

By hearing this Shiva asked Chitra gupta to tell about his lifespan, qualities, and his power. And for that Chitra gupta, starts narrating, "As he was born without the instrumentality of normal human parentage, all the 96 Tatvas in his physique as rude and unrefined and, would have his intelligence and five senses rooted in falsehood. His eyes, legs and head will leads towards sin. His nature is not knowing the true nature of the things here. He has a life span of about hundred years. He will attain maturity at his age of fourteen. He will have about ten hundred thousand drop of semen in his body (Some claim this as 10 lakh drops of blood). He will attain full bodily maturity in the age of 31. The body of him which was built up with, blood, bone, veins and muscle are made up of water and earth, and this is used for nothing (useless). His body will have 9 openings outside. This toy ( here body) will be controlled by a bird (here soul), and when it’s time for the bird to go, it fly away, leaving the toy here, and thereby the bird will have no relation with the toy. This bird and the body is free for him in this yuga. And till the bird is with him, his savageness couldn’t be tolerated. As his nature is like this, and as he is built up of savageness he will not be thankful.
