Prince Aridaman. However, ultimately what transpired was what Karmasatta had willed.
The King wanted to destroy Mayana's life by marrying her to a leper, but Karmasatta did not wish that such a misfortune should befall Mayana. Karmasatta had planned a reward for her. Hence, Karmasatta sent the most fortunate, the most virtuous and meritorious Prince Shripal, in the guise of Umbarrana, to be Mayana's husband. Mayana not only was happy, on the contrary, her happiness was boundless. On the other hand, Karmasatta wanted to punish Sursundari. The man whom she wed, thinking him to be fortunate and brave, turned out to be a coward, so much so that she had to become a dancer to earn her livelihood.
We must etch this fact into our psyche that when Karmasatta wants to reward, it does not punish. A person may want to harass another person and may make umpteen attempts to do so but he will not succeed in his motive. It is thus evident that no soul has the authority to harass another soul and since he lacks the authority, he (the jailer) may move heaven and earth and yet he is unable to mete out a punishment which has not been ordained by Karmasatta. This establishes the fact that a jailer of the worldly court may harass someone more than what was ordered but a jailer of the court of nature cannot increase the punishment even by a degree at his own will. If Karmasatta wishes to punish, however much a man may try, he cannot save himself from it. At that time, even a protector becomes a perpetrator.
Who killed Indira Gandhi? Was it not her own
