Englishबलाक / BALĀKA (valāka). A forester. This forester used to go for hunting and he gave everything he got to his old parents without reserving anything for himself. One day he did not find any animal even though he had made a thorough search in the forest. He was much worried. At last he reached the bank of a river. He saw an extraordinary animal drinking water. He had never seen such an animal before.
It was a peculiar creature. That creature had done penance before brahmā, from its young age with the view of destroying everything. brahmā appeared before the creature and granted it the boon that it would have the power to make anything blind. brahmā also said that anybody who killed the creature would be given a place in the realm of Gods. The creature had been wandering in the forest making blind every creature it met, and one day it was drinking water and it was then that valāka shot it down. As soon as the creature fell down the gods showered flowers, and took him to the realm of Gods in a divine chariot. (M.B., karṇa Parva, Chapter 69).
वलाक / VALĀKA (balāka). A forester. (For further details see under balāka).
