Good one! In an ancient poem there is a verse that when young the short father holds the son atop revealing the word in 360 degrees. Tirukkural says "Thanthai Magarkku atrum udavi avaiyin mundiyiruppachcheyal"; Tiruvalluvar uses the word "udavi=help that can be done by a father, do all to place him in forefront so high in the society. There is a verse "Foot-print"; it says, when one was complaining that in the suffering GOD ditched him,that"at that time my son, you saw only a pair of foot print on the shore of the beach, bercause, you were seated on my shoulder. Earth is undoubtedly the mother , the great mother , to have been allowed to grow inside and sprout out, to have shouldered gracefully for a time; but remember that the strain of mother arises only from the good seed of the father. Hence in BG Krishna says that TEXT 4 sarva-yonisu kaunteya murtayah sambhavanti yah tasam brahma mahad yonir aham bija-pradah pita <https://asitis.com/#8347> sarva-yonisu—in all species of life; kaunteya—O son of Kunti; murtayah —forms; sambhavanti—as they appear; yah—which; tasam—all of them; brahma— supreme; mahat yonih—the source of birth in the material substance; aham— Myself; bija-pradah—seed-giving; pita—father. It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father. KR IRS 26122
