Chapter -100 – Dhoha

Parashurama eulogizes Rama

Rama spoke “Oh! Mune, kindly think before you speak, I have committed a very small mistake, your anger is more than that, I was lifted the old Shivadhanuss and it has broken into two, in that why should I take pride in it? Oh! Bhrigunatha, you are a twice-born, if you consider I am impolite to you, please listen to the truth, why should I bow down before the valorous Kshatriya? If it was a Dhanava, deity, or King, or army of warriors or Lord of death, of equivalent to my prowess invited for a battle I would happily meet their challenge. If a Kshatriya refuse to fight would be considered ignorant, and bring ill fame to his clan. Oh! Mune, I am not praising my clan, I am talking to you the truth, Raghuvamshis are not scared to fight against Lord Yama. But whoever scares to fight with you get rid of all their fears, you have born in the illustrious clan of twice-born Bhrigu.”

Parashurama was transported to the world of extreme bliss, his illusion faded, after listening to the soft and compassionate words of Rama. “Oh! Rama, fasten the bow of Ramapathi and remove my qualms.” Thus the bow voluntarily slipped from Parashurama to the hands of Ramapathi, it put Parashurama in an extreme state of surprise. He understood the splendor of Rama, and his body soaked in extreme ecstasy.  Parashurama’s heart filled in love for Rama with folded hands spoke “ Victory to Rama who is Surya in the clan of Raghu enhances the happiness of cluster like lotus flowers of the clan, Victory to Rama who is Agni destroys the demons, Victory to Rama who  is promising to twice-born, cows, and righteous, Victory to Rama who removes the impurities like haughtiness, pride, anger, lust, desire, hallucination, etc. Victory to Rama who is the abode of humility, virtues, disciplines, compassion, and love, Victory to Rama who is excellent in speech, Victory to Rama who multiplies the happiness of virtuous, pious,  and his attendants, Victory to Rama who is the abode of loveliness that excels the beauty of crores of Kamadeva. Oh! Rama, how did I praise your glories with one tongue? Victory to Rama who resides as a swan in the heart of Shiva, I have spoken harshly due to my ignorance, the two brothers who are the abode of endurance, kindly forgive me, Victory to Raghukulathilaka!” Thus, Parashurama retired from the city of Mithila and proceeded to wood to undertake extreme penance.  The wicked kings assembled were terrified, and flee to different directions.

The deities showered flowers upon Rama and Lakshmana, the sounds of Dhundhubhi echoed in the sky, the people of the Mithila became extremely happy, all those grief that was created out of ignorance were disappeared. The sounds of music reverberated in Mithila, stunning woman adorned in Mangaladhravya sang beautifully, like Cuckoo. Janaka drenched in a state of bliss, like the beggar who attained precious gem. Devi Sita freed from fear and anxiousness, once again she became happy like the female Chakora bird that yearning look at the Chandra. Janaka prostrated before Vishwamithra and spoke “Oh! Swami, it was your grace Rama broke the Shivadhanuss. These two brothers have fulfilled my desires. Oh! Prabho, kindly instruct me about the next plan of action.” Sage Vishwamithra spoke “Oh! Wise King, Oh! Naresh, listen to me carefully, the Dhanuryajja was the purpose of finding an appropriate groom for Devi Sita, and the marriage went on well in the presence of deities, Manushya and Naga, after the Shivadhanuss broke into two pieces. Further, you have to follow all the family traditions, according to your family customs, go and meet the twice-born, elderly in the family and preceptors,  discuss with them after that do whatever necessary. Firstly, send a messenger to the Kingdom of Ayodhya, let them reverentially bring King Dhasharatha to Mithila.”
