Ambarīṣa Mahārāja Offended by Durvāsā Muni

In this regard, Madhva Muni quotes from the Garuḍa Purāṇa: brahmādi-bhakti-koṭy-aṁśādaṁśo naivāmbarīṣakenaivanyasya cakrasyāpitathāpi harir īśvaraḥ tātkālikopaceyatvātteṣāṁ yaśasa ādirāṭbrahmādayaś ca tat-kīrtiṁvyañjayām āsur uttamām mohanāya ca daityānāṁbrahmāde nindanāya caanyārthaṁ ca svayaṁ viṣṇurbrahmādyāś ca nirāśiṣaḥ mānuṣeṣūttamātvāc cateṣāṁ bhaktyādibhir guṇaiḥbrahmāder viṣṇv-adhīnatva-jñāpanāya ca kevalam durvāsāś ca svayaṁ rudrastathāpy anyāyām uktavāntasyāpy anugrahārthāyadarpa-nāśārtham eva ca The lesson to be derived from this narration concerning Mahārāja Ambarīṣa and Durvāsā Muni is that all the demigods, including Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, are under the control of Lord Viṣṇu. Therefore, when a Vaiṣṇava is offended, the offender is punished by Viṣṇu, the Supreme Lord. No one can protect such a person, even Lord Brahmā or Lord Śiva. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Ninth Canto, Fourth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Ambarīṣa Mahārāja Offended by Durvāsā Muni.”
