Brahma came out and
said 'D', 'D', 'D' by looking at Human beings , demons and demigods
turn by turn and went back.
All of them were
puzzled to hear this one word lecture. They approached their
respective masters. Demigods went to Brihaspati, Demons went to
Shukrachary and human beings approached their masters.
Brihaspati said to
demigods 'Brahma has advised you to exercise some control on senses.
Heaven is full of easily available sensual pleasures which has made
all of you lustful and addicted to such pleasure. Hence Brahma told
you to lead a controlled life.. The Hindi word is "DAM"
which means controlling senses.'
Shukrachary said to
demons, 'Brahma has advised you to be kind. All of you have some
powers and you wield those powers with cruelty. To kill others, to
torment others is what you do and hence Brahma told you be kind and
merciful. The Hindi word for mercy id "Dayaa"
Human beings were told
'You have great attachment to money. You seldom donate anything from
what you earn. You either save your earning or spend it on yourself
and your family. Brahma wants you to shed this stinginess and
therefore he told you the word 'Daan' which means to donate'
