Experiences with Maha Periyava: The snake is gone, but then...
The elephant trumpeted in terror at midnight. The disciples were fast asleep. Nobody got up.
The elephant has excessive fear towards small animals such as the rat, frog or sparrow. Thinking that some rat or frog would have dropped in at that night time, Periyava got up silently and went to the elephant shed.
A big cobra with its hood fully spread was swaying there in front of the elephant.
Periyava forthwith woke up the shishyas. They arrived carrying sticks. "Don't beat the snake. Just light a lamp of sesame oil, and it will go away."
When a sesame oil lamp was lit and placed there as advised, the naga snake that was with its full hood till then, crawed away and out of sight.
The surprising thing in this incident was that for the disciples who have normal hearing powers, the blare of the elephant was not heard, but the sound was heard only by Periyava who was saying that He had problem with His ears!
Yes, Gajendra's supplicating wail 'Adi Mulame!' was only heard by Sriman Narayana!
Periyava asked the elephant to be tied up in some other place.
"But the snake is gone!"
"The snake is gone alright. But the fear would not have gone for the elephant!"
Only after receiving the tidings that the elephant was taken to another safer place, Periyava went to resume His rest.
