Answer 4

Excellent answer by Srividya Rajagopalan Sir. It is totally a new subject I have learned today about the origin of Death mentioned in Mahabharata. There is a very old Tamil quote : ஆவதும் பெண்ணாலே அழிவதும் பெண்ணாலே ! Aavathum Pennaale, Azivathum Pennale. Means: Creation is out of women & also Destruction out of women. Most probably, the learned people who framed this quote might have done after knowing about this story of Origin of Goddess of Death, as women only gives birth and Goddess of death takes away the life.
