Vaishampayana said: "Then the son of Kunti, best of the Bharatas, journeying onward, gradually came to Nanda and Aparananda, two rivers that carry away the fear of sin. Reaching the untroubled mountain Hemakuta, the king saw many inconceivable wonders: there clouds became voices, thousands of stones flew down, and people of despondent mind could not climb it. There the wind blew constantly, the god rained constantly, and in the evening and morning the auspicious Havyavahana was seen. Having beheld such varied wonders, the Pandava again asked Lomasha about this marvel. Lomasha said: 'As we have heard this before, O scourge of foes, so listen with a focused mind, O king. On this Rishabhakuta there lived an ascetic named Rishabha, who lived many hundreds of years but was very wrathful. When others spoke to him, he in anger said to the mountain: "If anyone here utters a word, hurl stones at once." Summoning the wind, this ascetic said: "Do not make a sound." And a person speaking here is held back by a cloud. Thus, O king, some of these phenomena were established by that great sage in anger, and some were forbidden.'"

Even tapas without gentleness can leave a mark of fear upon the world. A sage's power is great, so its purity must include mastery over anger.
