Isn’t Vidura a Mahajan? – Dandavats.com
Suvarna Radha Devi Dasi
In the Bhagavatam, there are twelve individuals considered Mahajan and Yamaraj is one among them. Vidura, Yamaraj’s sudra incarnation, is not explicitly mentioned as a Mahajan. For punishing Mundaka Muni, Yamaraj was cursed by the Muni to become a sudra (lower birth). Is there a reason why Yamaraj punished Mundaka Muni? Should we consider Vidura a Mahajan as well, since Yamaraj is a Mahajan? Does Vidura possess the traits necessary to qualify as a Mahajan?
Mundaka Muni was wrongly arrested along with the thieves who had concealed themselves in his hermitage. The King’s court specifically sentenced Muni to the death penalty by being pierced with a lance, but the king stopped the death penalty enactment. The King personally sought Muni’s forgiveness for his men’s blunder.
