CM: Narada tale didn't refer to BSY

BANGALORE: Chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Monday said his narration of the Narada anecdote at a function in Tumkur on Sunday was not directed at former CM B S Yeddyurappa.
In a statement, the CM's office said Gowda indeed narrated the anecdote of Narada Muni carrying a bowl of oil across 14 lokas following an argument with Narayana. "The point the CM was making was that Narada was so interested in carefully carrying the oil bowl without spilling a drop that during the process, he even forgot the all-important 'bhakti bhava' of chanting the name of Narayana even once,'' it pointed out.
