Mahakumbh 29-32: Of confrontations & revelations: Parts 1 & 2 - Page 7

So it is possible that there will a naga for every garud - a dark force to match every garud - its only when the match is even that the win becomes sweeter.

thx a lot a brilliant update as before

Not any Garuda, Adiana, only Rudra. Remember I noted that Kuba might match Shivanand?

Next Adisesha is only part of Mahavishnu, if I am not mistaken, which is why he is Lakshmana in the Ramayana, not a purna avatar like Rama. As for Rudra, by the end, I suspect the parallel with Lord Shiva will be far more marked, for those resonances will have to be captured by the script seeing that it all revolves around amrit and not some conventional hidden treasure.

I agree with your last line. Yes, it is not just possible, but very likely that there would be a powerful naga to match every garud (but one!), for as I had noted in Part 1 here, Mahakumbh is clearly not going to a mythic tale, like Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, of small people, like Frodo the Hobbit and his supporters, triumphing over even the greatest evil thanks to sheer guts, doggedness and pureness of heart. It is going to be more of a clash of the titans, of good and of evil.

But even so, I feel that Rudra will stand alone as primus inter pares among the 14, even if at times he is weakened by his emotional side.

All 7 nagas live together in snow covered Himalayas, not one of them in Poland. Kuba is no naga who wishes to overpower the protectors of amrit. Adi sesha is an exception but serpents are generally associated with evil. Kuba was so noble even in childhood. I am still counting on his being a garuda.

Thank you so much, my dear. I hope you survived Part 2 as well!😉

Thank you so much, my dear Sindhu, both for liking these posts and for your thoughtful wishes for my health. My hand is ok, but the knee is being very difficult. I wish I could kick it good and proper to teach it a lesson!
