The story of under ground volcanoes

They who commit suicide never attain to regions that are best. In Mahabharatha a certain Bramana, born of the Bhrigu race was angered by the slaughter of his race by the Kshatriyas. The Kshatriyas were killing the male and female members of that race and even the unborn children of that race. His Mother kept him in one of her thighs when he was conceived and thus protected him. Knowing that he was kept hidden in the thighs of his mother the Kshatriyas came to kill him. He in turn made them all blind and sent them away. He was consumed with anger to exterminate the whole world with all the Kshatriyas in it in retaliation of the sins they had committed to his race. Knowing that he is hell bent on revenge his fore fathers came from the heaven and advised him not to do that. He addressed them saying 'There was no one who could save my race when it was being persecuted. None came to its rescue. My father's and mother's were crying profusely and were seeking help from any quarters of the Earth but nothing came out of it. The Kshatriyas were not even considerate to the children in the wombs. They were killing all the children and even the children in the wombs. Then I resolved that I would give them back in their own coin. If a person who is burning with anger for a just cause is not allowed to exhibit his anger it becomes harmful for his life. He cannot practice Dharma, Artha and Kama and attain Moksha. If a person knows that there is none ot punish him then he will commit any kind of sin and get away. If another person who having the capacity to punish him or restrain him does not do so he becomes part of the sin. I am having the capacity to punish the offenders and if I do not punish those people who are responsible for the carnage then sin will attach itself on me. Hence I am not able to do your bidding. Tell me a way whereby my self and also the whole world is protected. To him his fore fathers said to place his anger or wrath in the waters of the ocean. From that day it is called the Badavamukah or the underground volcanoes.
