Astrologer

Lord Shiva saw few more attempts going in vain; and his desire to return to his beloved city was ever increasing. At last, he approached Lord Vishnu, who is also one of the supreme trinity. Vishnu is the one who often rescues the Gods in such crisis. A strong scheme was laid out by him, again.

In accordance to the plan, Ganesha, son of Shiva arrived at Kashi in the disguise of an astrologer. Having a long term scheme, he established his residence near the city and began serving the citizens as astrologer. Fame of the astrologer spread in the kingdom. Touched by wind of the fame, the queen also sought his service, and was impressed by the astrologer. Once the queen was impressed, astrologer did not need very long time to reach the royal court of the king.

In the royal court, he pretended to study the palm of king attentively. At the end, he declared that a holy and wise sadhu would come to see the king on the eighteenth day. Council of the wise man would bring wealth of enlightenment. Divodasa did not pay much attention to this prophecy; but on the eighteenth day, a Buddhist monk with a divine light about him, indeed came to his door. The monk was, in fact, Lord Vishnu in disguise. Divodasa had to be tricked by the of one of the supreme lords of the universe, if lord wished so, for he was only a man. The monk rained words of wisdom upon him.

Divodasa saw dissatisfaction and unhappiness among his subjects. He was distressed. He asked for the path to deliverance. Vishnu told him to give up his kinghood and devote himself to the search of peace. The deceived king obeyed the holy man. He made his son the new king and devoted himself to God Shiva to ease his sins.

Delighted lord Shiva returned to his beloved Kashi and swore to never leave the city.

Dashashwamedh

Shiva called upon Lord Brahma. He persuaded him to undo what he had done; for aim of Divodasa’s reign was fulfilled and world was in order.

Lord Brahma admitted that even he could not have removed Divodasa from the throne. But he assured Shiva to do something. He took the guise of a Sadhu– a holy man and entered Kashi. Soon he had the king under his influence. And then he recommended Divodasa to arrange an Ashwamedh Yagya with ten horses. An Ashwamedh Yagya is a ritual practised by mighty kings, in which a horse is made to roam freely through all lands. Army of the yagya practising king follows the horse. The land through which the horse walks through, comes into the supremacy of the yagya performing king. If someone refuses to accept the supremacy of the king, then they have to battle against the army following the horse.

Brahma suggested the mighty king to practice the yagya with ten horses, in order to make it more difficult. In this way Divodasa’s army was divided into ten parts to follow each horse. Ten armies of the king followed the ten horses in ten directions. But yet no enemy could capture any of the ten horses. To Brahma’s dismay, horses came back safely with their armies. Lord Brahma was much ashamed of the failure of his trickery and abandoned the thought of any other attempt.

Yogini

Shiva summoned sixty yoginis on the advice of his wife Goddess Parvati. He commanded the band to go to Kashi and disrupt the perfectness of Divodasa’s rule. When the yoginis arrived at Kashi, they were overwhelmed after seeing the perfectness. They abandoned the thought of causing any harm to it. Instead, they decided to never leave the city. When they did not return

Five Elements

The king divodasa grew stronger and stronger. So strong that Gods began to become jealous.

1. Indra– the God of rain, 
2. Agni– the God of fire, and 
3. Vayu– the God of air took rain, fire, and air back in order to disrupt the rule of the king. 

But Divodasa proved to be stronger than his rivals had estimated. He created

1. rain, 
2. fire, and 
3. air 

of his own; for such mighty divine powers he had obtained from his flawless rule.
