Chapter -89 – Dhoha

Devi Sita's arrival in the Yagashala

The crowd attentively watched the handsome youth wherever they move, and everyone has assumed that Rama is staring at them; no one understood the secret behind it. Maharishi Viswhamithra highly appreciated King Janaka for the preparation and arrangements made for Dhanuryajja, King Janaka felt happy. There was a marvelous throne in the entire hall of Yajja, King offered that seat to Maharishi Vishwamithra, Rama and Lakshmana took a seat near to him. The Kings present were lost their enthusiasm watching Rama and Lakshmana like full moon take away all attraction of the shining of stars, they felt that Rama would definitely fasten the Shivadhanuss, in case if he could not do it, definitely, Devi Sita would adore him with Jayamala. They talked to each other that it would harm their prestige, social status, fame, and reputation. Some of the Kings dull-minded were answered even though he fastens the Shivadhanuss, he could not marry Devi Sita, and they have decided to fight for Devi Sita, till the end never bothered about Yama. There was a pious King who has sincere devotion at Lord Hari answered “ Lord Rama will definitely marry Devi Sita, after winning the challenge, he will crush the pride of ignorant Kings. The sons of Dhashratha are extremely skilled in the usage of armaments, therefore it is impossible for others to win over them. Therefore it is a waste of time using foul language in jealous, it is impossible to cure appetite by thinking of meals, therefore listen to my words carefully.  Devi Sita is the supreme Goddess, Jagadamba, Paramba, Bhagavathi, and Rama is Jagathpitha, let your eyes take pleasure in the loveliness of Rama. These two brothers are the storehouse of virtues, beauty, generosity, humility, etc. resides in the heart of Lord Shambhu. Therefore it is foolish to run after the illusion of waters in the desert and get killed, hence take pleasure in the nectar-like ocean. Otherwise, do whatever you feel; we have attained the highest of the piousness in our lives.” In this way, the righteous Kings gave answer back to the dull-minded wicked Kings and fixed their gaze upon Rama and Lakshmana.

The deities assembled in their respective celestial vehicles in the sky took great pleasure in the grand Dhanuryajja, Gandharvas sang beautifully and the celestial Apsaras danced to their tunes, deities’ showered flower upon Rama and Lakshmana. King Janaka called for his lovely daughter Devi Sita, immediately she arrived in the grand hall accompanied by her female attendants. It is difficult to describe the beauty of the supreme Goddess who is Jaganmatha, therefore I feel all those comparisons are futile. Why should I earn the name of a wicked poet, by comparing her physical appearance to that of ordinary women? Hence it is meaningless to compare Devi Sita with the women in this Universe. Vagdevi Devi Saraswathi symbolizes excellence in speech, Devi Bhavani has attained half of the body of Lord Mahadeva, Devi Rathi feels her husband is invisible, it is impossible to compare with Goddess Rama/Lakshmidevi, she has toxic poison, Varuni as her brother.  Her loveliness like an unfathomable ocean of nectar, and the Koorma as Parakashta, beauty, and brilliance as rope, Shringarasa as Mandaraparvatha, if Kamadeva churns it with his own hands, the Lakshmi who is the essence of beauty and bliss would be compared to the beauty of Devi Sita by the intellectuals.
