The Tale of Pushpaka the Parrot
The Tale of Pushpaka the Parrot
Once upon a time, in the realm of the celestials, there was a resplendent parrot named Pushpaka. Pushpaka was not ordinary; he was adorned with the most vivid greens and blues, and his wisdom reached the heavens, learned in sciences and arts unknown to the mortal world. He was the favorite of Indra, the god of the celestials, who often marveled at Pushpaka’s beautiful recitations of choice sayings while he comfortably reclined in the palm of his divine owner.

One fateful day, as Pushpaka relished in the comfort of Indra’s palm, reciting his wisdom like a flowing river of thoughts, his sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Yama, the god of death. Normally serene, Pushpaka’s heart pounded like thunder; he recognized the symbol of mortality and, without a second thought, flew swiftly away from the protective palm of Indra.

The other celestials, curious and puzzled, questioned Pushpaka’s sudden flight. Pushpaka, his feathers trembling ever so slightly, replied, “Yama brings sorrow to all beings, and I cannot restrain my fears. It is in my nature to seek escape from such a shadow.”
To calm the fears of their feathered friend, the celestials approached Yama, pleading, “For our sake, do not lay your hand upon Pushpaka.” Yama’s answer was wrapped in the wisdom of ages, “I am but a servant to the greater force of Time, and I hold no power to grant such guarantees.”

Heeding Yama’s suggestion, the celestials then sought an audience with Time itself. Time’s presence was vast and undulating like the cosmos, and its voice boomed like the orchestration of the universe when they conveyed their request. The response was succinct, “Only Death can promise you this. Seek your gaurantee from him.”

Image Prompt 5 (Encounter with Death)

A wave of grief washed over the celestials as they turned to Yama for an explanation of this cruel twist of fate. Yama’s response was grounded in the reality of existence, “This mortal, unlike you, was destined to face his end upon crossing paths with Death itself. That was his truth.”
And so, the celestials, with heavy hearts, retreated to their abodes. Pushpaka’s wisdom remained immortalized in the heavens, a solemn reminder of life’s delicate dance with time and destiny.
