Maa Tarini - Continuation of The History

Continuation of The History

Bhanja thus worshiped the Goddess for her blessings in the war to follow. Bhanja was victorious and both the princess and the Goddess were brought back to Puri. After the king of Keonjhar died, Bhanja returned to his state and took the idol of the Goddess with him.

Mythological accounts hold that Maa Tarini agreed to follow Bhanja provided he never looked backed all the way from Puri to Keonjhar. Bhanja agreed and the two left on horseback. Near the Baitarini river in modern Keonjhar district, Bhanja could no longer hear the following horse. He looked back and Maa halted then and there and asked Bhanja to construct her temple and worship her there.

Famous quotes containing the words continuation of the, continuation of, continuation and/or history:

    Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.
    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    I believe it was a good job,
    Despite this possible horror: that they might prefer the
    Preservation of their law in all its sick dignity and their knives
    To the continuation of their creed
    And their lives.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    After an argument, silence may mean acceptance—or the continuation of resistance by other means.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
