Starting from the 狈腻苍诲墨, lord 艢颈惫补 is seen pervading the entire play 闯墨惫腻苍补苍诲补苍补. From the first Act, His grace is sought by the hero of the play 闯墨惫补, in order to elevate himself to the level of attaining liberation. In the process, maintaining the health of a body by perventing it from being attacked by diseases becomes essential. Without Rasa and Gandhaka, diseases like 搁腻箩补测补办峁�m腻 cannot be cured.

Hence, 闯墨惫补 is advised to pray to lord 艢颈惫补 and goddess 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 to procure them by their blessing since Rasa is the power of 艢颈惫补 and Gandhaka is the energy of 笔腻谤惫补迟墨 (I.39):

艣ambhorv墨rya峁� raso 苍腻尘补 艣arv膩峁噛膩 苍腻尘补 驳补苍诲丑补办补岣� |
t膩bhy膩meva prasann膩bhy膩峁� tau gr膩hy膩viti me 尘补迟颈岣� ||

膧测耻谤惫别诲补 texts hold that a human body becomes efficient and effective by the combination of Rasa and Gandhaka.

The commentary quotes Rasasamucchya in this regard and adds (p.47):

yath膩 rasaratnasamuccaye -鈥�诲颈惫测腻 tanurvidhey膩 haragaur墨-s峁涐梗峁璱sa峁儁og膩t鈥� iti |
haragaur墨-s峁涐梗峁璱sa峁儁ogo 苍腻尘补 rasagandhakayo岣� 蝉补峁儁辞驳补 eva ||

In this context the greatness of lord 艢颈惫补 is brought through the conversation between 闯墨惫补, 痴颈箩帽腻苍补 艢补谤尘腻 and Buddhi. Many Puranic anecdotes extolling the greatness of the Lord and bringing out his various qualities are enumerated thus鈥�

1. Bhaktavatsalat膩:

Sage 惭峁沰补峁囜笉耻鈥檚 son who was got by worshipping lord 艢颈惫补 was saved by him from the clutches of Yama and obtained long-life.^[1]

Lord 艢颈惫补 gave 辫腻艣耻辫补迟补 to Arjuna and 辫补谤补艣耻 to 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补, both his staunch devotees.^[2]

艢颈惫补 obliged 叠丑补驳墨谤补迟丑补 by withstanding the force of Ganges fully on his head. He curbed her pride by imprisoning her within his matted locks and fulfilled 叠丑补驳墨谤补迟丑补's wish by letting her out with subdued force.^[3]

2. Saviour of the world:

When the milky ocean was churned to obtain 础尘峁泃补, the 碍腻濒补办奴峁璦 poison came out. Its power being unbearable by all, lord 艢颈惫补 gulped the poison, and saved the world.^[4]

3. His Valour:

With 厂奴谤测补 and Candra as wheels, 叠谤补丑尘腻 as the charioteer, the four Vedas as horses, the Earth as the chariot, Meru as the bow with serpent 痴腻蝉耻办颈 as its string and with 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 as the arrow, lord 艢颈惫补 demolished the three Asuras along with their cities by his mere smile inspite of his military aids.^[5]

Lord 艢颈惫补 in the form of 痴墨谤补产丑补诲谤补 destroyed the sacrifice of 顿补办峁�aprajapati as 顿补办峁�a had insulted him by not invoking Him in the sacrifice.^[6]

艢颈惫补 subjugated 搁腻惫补峁嘺 when he lifted 碍补颈濒腻蝉补 by pressing the thumb of his foot down thereby crushing the twenty hands of 搁腻惫补峁嘺 that were lifting the mountain.^[7]

艢颈惫补 controlled the spells of the 峁氠梗is sent in the form of the deer and fire and thereby showed the 峁氠梗is their errors.^[8]

With 艢颈惫补鈥檚 blessings, Agastya killed 痴腻迟腻辫颈, went to the south to stabilise the earth, made Vindhya stop his growth, and drank the entire ocean.^[9]
