As Prana or the vital energy that supports life in the body became weaker, Puranjana’s mind started worrying, how he could survive further.

So far, he was unaware of this constant attack by Time as he was always provided by others. He was intoxicated so far.

To  make things worse, another danger creeped in. It was ‘JARA’, or ageing, the daughter of ‘Kalan’ or the Lord of Death. She was searching for an ideal husband to marry, but no one liked her and accepted her.

Once she approached even Sage Narada and he rejected her outright. She could not bear the insult and hence cursed him to be an ‘all time wanderer’.

The Sage advised her to marry the King of Yavanas(‘Fear’) and she approached him.

Yavaneswar thought about her wish and said,

“the fear of death brings dispassion and then people will stay away from all sorts of Karma as it is futile.  So, the Devas impose passion for the world and relations in their hearts.
