In one of the lost battles by Jarasandha left behind his crown and ran away. Krishna collected the crown and kept it in His safe custody. Before redeeming His incarnation. Krishna passed on the crown to the Pandavas. They did not use it because it was used by Jarasandha. They kept it in safe custody. It was later passed on to Parikshit. He did use it for a long time.
One day he opened the store room to see this wonderful crown and felt like wearing it and then he went hunting. He came to the forest for hunting and felt very thirsty. He went to Shamika muni hermitage, and asked for water. Shamika muni was in deep tapas and did not respond. Parikshit got angry and put the dead snake around his neck. Even though Shamika muni did not respond, his son cursed Parikshit for the deplorable act Parikshit had done, to die in a week by the bite of a snake.
It is not good to disturb anyone who is doing tapas. Walking up to a sleeping person and asking him if he has slept well is not manners. Seeing a person coming out of a bathroom and asking him did you have lunch is not manners or dharma.
Do you now understand why Parikshit’s mind for a moment thought and did this deplorable act of putting a dead snake around the neck of Shamika muni ? It is because Parikshit for a moment became interested in other’s property of Golden crown and used it. This is the effect of Kali. In this kali your mind generates instant fondness for others’ things. Fulfilling this thought of mind will give you bad consequences. Kali was there in Sri Krishna’s incarnation period, but not that much active. Krishna proceeded to Vaikuntam in the Sandi kalam of Dwapara eon and Kali eon. Kali showed his effects visibly at the moment that Parikshit wore the crown of Jarasandha.
