Is it too much weight for the ice to hold at the summit? or can it withstand that?

I stopped playing CS for 2 years, recently started playing again.

Back with a bang

It was as if the whole Universe came to a complete standstill. An extraordinary figure emerged from the ocean, as if all the beauty in the entire creation had assumed one feminine form. It was as though the sun on the horizon ascended upon divine instruction and melted into gold as it poured at the site of the churning, raising a figure of unparalleled glamor and grandeur.

The light of all lights, she was none other than Sri, the goddess of fortune, of opulence. Called Ramā as she completely delighted everyone's heart, she was *bhagavat-para*, only to be had by the supreme lord. *Vidyut-saudamani*, she appeared suddenly like a bolt of electricity, vastly surpassing the magnitude of lightning ever witnessed before.

If the Apsaras had evoked every desire, the appearance of Mother Goddess totally overwhelmed them all. It was absurd for anyone, except Vishnu, to even imagine having her. “She is way above our pay grade,” the Asuras murmured. “She is just not in our league,” the Devas mumbled. But secretly, everyone thought that who knew they might just win the lottery. They would have gladly fought each other until the end of time, had the Goddess so indicated with an ever so slight arching of her eyebrows.

Draped in resplendent garments woven from silken and golden threads, studded with precious stones, the very air around her reeked of prosperity and opulence. As a divine aura enveloped her form, all who beheld her knew they were looking at a goddess, destined to bestow unimaginable riches, affluence, and abundance on anyone she found worthy.

She was *ranjayanti*, her countenance gleamed with the luminescence of a thousand constellations. She looked around as time stood still. Her divine form commanded such reverence and submission, that the Devas, Asuras and every creature present there wanted to serve her with everything they had.

Indra brought a throne for her, the Gandharvas began playing the most mellifluous of music, the Asuras offered their crowns at her feet, the sages started chanting, the Devas arranged for food, flowers, perfumes and more gemstones for her. Unanimously the sages called her Lakshmi, that is, she is everyone’s *lakshya*, goal. But the goddess stood still, looking around. She was not after these offerings and riches. She was the goddess of wealth and fortune, after all. She was looking for something else, someone else. Someone who was beyond all these things. She needed someone to whom she could surrender, someone who could charm her with his sovereignty, genius, and wit. She did not want somebody who became subservient at the mere sight of her. But where was this faultless person?

She began moving about, in graceful doe-like steps. *Utpala-srajam-nadad-dvirephām*, holding a garland of lotuses with constantly circling bumblebees, she was *savrīḍā-hasaṃ*, smiling with shyness. *Sukapola-kuṇḍalam*, her dangling earrings would occasionally hit against her tender sanguine cheeks, adding to her natural beauty.

Moving through the Gandharvas, Asuras, Devas and sages, most of whom held their breath and pacified their thumping hearts with an internal dialog, the goddess stood still when she came near Vishnu. It was a no-brainer. She felt all those emotions for Him that others had been feeling for her until a few moments ago. Only, the intensity of her feelings was infinitely more than all of theirs put together.

She garlanded Vishnu with the lotus flowers that were still surrounded by humming bumblebees. She stood there reticently, with a demure smile. This was the only smile the Devas and Asuras saw that could be compared to that of Vishnu’s.

Even the all-knowing Vishnu was radiating a warmth and joy the Devas had never seen before. The ever-working Narayana, it seemed, paused the wheel of time as he cast a brief gaze in the direction of Mother Goddess, Sri. Then, realizing that he was under the keen eye of the Devas and Asuras, he smiled one more time. But that one smile was enough for the Goddess to be put completely at ease, to be reassured that if there was anyone to whom she belonged, it was Narayana.

“Jai Jai Lakshmi Narayana!” Brahma shouted.

“Jai Jai Lakshmi Narayana!” everyone chanted in chorus.

The whole environment lit up with eclectic chants; the Devas blared the conches, the Asuras blew the trumpets, the Gandharvas played the mridangam, drums, and varied string instruments.

From that soft ground where Lord Vishnu and Lakshmi stood, two divine sages. Chiklita and Kardama emerged. They were immediately regarded as the sons of Lakshmi-Narayana. Pin-drop silence ensued once again at the appearance of these youthful sages.
