The powerful Maya of Lord Vishnu

Maharishi Narada was overwhelmed with extreme trepidation, looked at Lord Hari, there was no Goddess Mahalakshmi or Devi Vishwamohini. Narada fallen at the feet of Lord Hari in extreme guilt and got hold of his lotus feet and spoke “Oh! Pranatharththihari, kindly protect me, Oh! Kripalu let my curse go futile. Oh! Bhagavan, I have showered abuses on you, how did I get relieved from the sin?” The merciful Lord Hari spoke “Oh! Maharishi it was my wish, you will get rid of the sins of your curse upon me, contemplate upon Lord Shankara and recite his sacred names, it will remove all the grief, I have no one beloved other than Lord Hara, do not forget it even in your dreams. Oh! Mune, whoever does not have the grace of Lord Purari, will not have faith and belief in me, keep this in your mind always and continue to explore the three worlds, my Maya will not touch you.” Lord Hari pacified Maharishi Narada and disappeared from his sight. Narada singing in praise of Lord Rama and his endless virtues arrived in Sathyaloka.

Maharishi Narada happily conducted exploring the worlds, met Shivaganas on his way, they were in extreme anguish, they approached Maharishi Narada with intense fear and fallen at his feet, and spoke in utter grief “ Oh! Munishwara, we are Ganas of Lord Shiva, we have disguised as twice-born, and we have committed a grave sin and got the punishment for it, Oh! Kripalu kindly protects us from sin.” Maharishi Narada compassionately spoke “Oh! Ganas, I can't take back the curse, you will be born in the Asurayoni, you will have an abundance of wealth, glory, prowess and you will conquer the whole world. The supreme Lord Hari will take birth as a human, in a battle with Lord Rama you will attain Mukthi in his hands, in this way you will be relieved from repeated births.” The two Ganas prostrated before Maharishi Narada, in due course of time these two Ganas took birth as demons.

Lord Mahadeva speaks “ Oh! Devi, The supreme Lord Hari who has taken the vow to provide welfare to the pious and saintly people, please the deities with various amusements, and reduce the burden of the Earth, incarnated on the Earth in a Yuga. The birth and various passionate sport of Lord Hari are endless, and all of them are extremely stunning, pleasing, and unique. The supreme Lord Hari takes birth in every Kalpa and performs various amusements. The saintly people and ascetics sing in praise of his various legends and they describe endless stories that are beyond comparison. The saints and holy men never get surprised listening to it, because the Supreme Lord Hari is eternal and his legends are endless as well. The saints sing his glories in various methods, the amusements of Lord Ramachandra cannot sing and complete in crores of Kalpa. Oh! Bhavani, I have narrated the legend of Maharishi Narada to inform you that even the illustrious sages and ascetics like Narada is not free from the powerful Maya of Lord Hari.  The supreme Lord Hari is amusing and extremely compassionate, the fortunate get the opportunity to serve him, and he removes all the sufferings of them. Lord Hari’s Maya is extremely powerful, he  is Mayapathi, did not spare deities, sages, or humans; therefore we should constantly contemplate upon him.”
