![]() After several failed attempts by the Gods to tackle Darikan, Lord Shiva, the destroyer, invoked Goddess Bhagavathy, the warrior in her fiercest form, to kill him. This prompted him to be power hungry, slowly growing as a threat to the Gods themselves. A summary of the legend goes like this: Darikan the demon/asura got a boon from Lord Brahma, the creator, that he will not be killed by any “ man“. Having said that, I did do some research and found that this is a song performed at a temple dance ritual called Mudiyettu ( Wiki link) during Goddess Bhagavathy’s (Goddess Kali/Durga) festival. Google Translate: हिंदी | தமிழர் | తెలుగు |ĭisclaimer: I am doubly disadvantaged in translating the soul of this song as neither am I a Hindu, nor did I grow up anywhere close to where this naadan paattu (folk song) is popular.
