Week 13 Reading Notes - Kincaid. Tales from the Indian Epics: The Churning of the Ocean

Lesser gods and demons wanted to get to ambrosia that is at the bottom of the ocean. Drinking it would make them immortal. They used a mountain to churn the ocean to bring it to the top. As they churned it, they released other entities that became things like the moon and other gods. They got to a lake of poison that Shiva had to drink to prevent it from killing everything. Eventually they got the ambrosia. The demons tried to steal it, but Vishnu stopped it and gave it to the lesser gods only.

Week 14 Reading - Inayat. Twenty Jataka Tales Part B: The Forest Fire

Two quails had 7 baby quails 6 of the babies ate worms and bugs and grass seeds, but the seventh ate only grass seeds. Because the baby only ate grass seeds, its wings did not grow as strong as the others, and thus it could not fly. One day a forest fire came and the mother and father quail as well as the 6 other quail children flew away. The Seventh stayed in the nest as it couldn't fly. As the fire approach the small one spoke saying it was weak and there was nothing there for the fire. The fire left, and the bird lived happily. Quail Chick Against the Fire Source References Inayat.
