When the yagam was to start the brahma rishi's led by Marichee met Brahma and informed him that according to the Saasthras, a man separated from his wife is not qualified to perform a yagam such as aswamedham.
Brahma summoned his son Vashistan, to try and pacify his mother, Saraswathi, who at that time was doing tapas on the banks of river Ganges. Vashistan was to explain to his mother the importance of performing the aswamedham yagam and how her presence was of utmost importance.
Saraswathi was blind with rage and refused to come to Kanchi, to be part of the yagam.
Vashistan headed back to Kanchi and informed Brahma about his failure to convince his mother. Brahma was dejected and informed the rishi’s about the refusal of Sarawathi.
The rishi’s suggested that Brahma could continue the yagam with his other wife. Brahma, with all intention to start the yagam, started the yagam with his other wife Saavithri.
Asuras from the beginning were not able o digest the fact that the devas with Brahma was going to perform the aswamedha yagam and establish their supremacy.
Asuras got the opportunity they were waiting for when Saraswathi refused to attend the yagam. All the asuras left Kanchi and in disguise as brahmin’s went to meet Saraswathi.
Asuras told Saraswathi, that they had walked out of the yagam as they were not able to bear the insult Brahma has done to her and swear their alliance with her.
Saraswathi was pleased with the action of the Brahmins and was blind with rage. She took a vow to destroy the place of the yagam…..
