Chapter -92 – Dhoha

The fury of Lakshmana 

Lakshman bowed down before the lotus feet of Rama and spoke “Oh! Brother, after witnessing the Raghukula Thilaka, even after witnessing the presence of you that King Janaka spoke rudely about the Kings, Oh! Rama, who is born in the illustrious clan of Surya, and showers happiness to the lotus flowers with its brilliance, Oh! Bhagavan, I am willing to try without any pride, if I have the permission of you, I am willing to take out the entire Universe as a ball and would crush like the ball made of raw clay. Oh! Bhagavan, if I have the permission of you, I would crush the Mount Meru like the rooted vegetable/radish, so I am not worried about this old Shivadhanuss, Oh! Bhagavan, kindly order me, let me prove the prowess of Raghu's clan, I am willing to fasten the bow and carries it on my shoulder and run for hundreds of Yojana. I will crush the Shivadhanuss like the water bubble with your grace, if not I promise you, I will not touch the bow and arrows.”

The earth quivered at the voice of Lakshmana, the whole assembly becomes terrified, the illustrious Kings felt terrible, Devi Sita felt happy in her heart.  Janaka became diffident of his words.  The preceptors, Raghu, and all those saints and Rishis were extremely happy, with a single gesture of hands Rama controlled his anger and made him sit. Maharishi Vishwamithra realized it is an auspicious occasion; he spoke affectionately to Rama “Oh! Vathsa, rise from your seat, fasten the Shivadhanuss and remove the grief of Janaka.” Rama prostrates before the feet of the preceptor, he was neither excited nor disappointed, he rose from the seat that excelled the beauty of the young lion. Rama rose from his seat like the sun rises from the East, it kindled the heart of illustrious Sages and Rishis, the entire crowd in the assembly awfully looked at him. The desires of the Kings to marry Devi Sita faded like night, their haughty words has become the stars in the daylight, proud kings were shrunk like a lotus flower in the night, the wicked Kings took shelter like the owl in the daylight, the illustrious Rishis and deities became sorrowful like Chakravaha, they kept showering flowers willingness to provide their services. Rama prostrated before the preceptor with intense devotion and received the blessings of Sages and twice-born assembled, the Lord of the Universe approached the dais like an untamed elephant with an elegant walk.

The entire crowd of females and males of the city of Mithila cheered and happy watching the elegant movements of Rama towards the Shivadhanuss. They contemplated Pithrus and deities, they remembered their preceptors, and prayed “Oh! Prabho, Oh! Ganesha, if we have attained any piousness in our lives, let Rama break the Shivadhanuss like the stem of the lotus.” The mother of Devi Sita looked at Rama affectionately and she called out of her female attendants and spoke “Why no one is saying that these two handsome youths are too young to their preceptor? Even the powerful like Ravana and Banasura failed in their attempt, and many who have challenged to break them ran out of the place, why the preceptor of these two handsome youths wanted to test their prowess? How the babies of the swan lift the mountain Mandhara? The king has lost his patience, it is impossible to know the play of fate.” One of her intelligent Sakhi replied “Oh! Rani, never underestimate the power of intellectuals. The Sage Agastya who was born from the vessel and the vast ocean has what similarities in them? Sage Agasthya dried up the entire ocean, and his fame is known to the whole world. The Suryamandala looks small in appearance, but the brilliant rays of sun remove the darkness of the three worlds. The sacred hymns are simple and easy to utter, but it has the power to reach for Lord Bhrama, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Mahadeva and all the deities. A small arrow shot on the forehead of the untamed elephant is enough to bring under control. The Kamadeva who is wielded in the flower arrows and bow takes control of the entire Universe. Therefore, Devi, leave all your qualms, Oh! Rani, definitely Rama will fasten the Shivadhanuss. ” In this way, Sakhi pacified Rani, thus she got relieved from grief and it increased her affection towards Rama.

The disappointment of King Janaka 

The female attendants of Devi Sita brought her into the middle of the Yagashala, she was attired in magnificent garments, Jagathjanani was stunningly gorgeous and beyond description. She was adorned in various gem decorated exquisite ornaments all over the body; every part of her limb was carefully decorated by her attendants. The male and females assembled in the Hall were astounded watching the mesmerizing beauty of Devi Sita, deities produced the sounds of Dhundhubhi, Apsaras sung beautifully and showered flowers upon her. Devi Sita was holding most attractive Jayamala in her lotus-like hands, she passed a fleeting look at the Kings assembled, her eyes were anxiously searching for Rama, all the Kings were enticed watching the splendor of Devi Sita, she located Rama and Lakshmana seated near Sage Vishwamithra, her eyes fallen at him like she has found her long-cherished gem. Devi Sita became shy watching her preceptors and a huge crowd of the people of Mithila, she locked her heart in the thoughts of Rama and looked at her female attendants.

The people assembled were forgot to shut their eyes watching the loveliness of Devi Sita and handsomeness of Rama, they were embarrassed could not speak a word. They prayed to Lord Bhrama “ Oh! Shrishtikartha, kindly remove the stubbornness of Janaka and give a fine intellect to think like us, let him leave all his promises and give Devi Sita as wedded wife to Rama. Then the whole world will praise him, and this decision would be supported by the whole world. If he is too firm in his promise then he will regret it in the future. The dark cloud complexioned Rama is the perfect groom for Devi Sita, everyone supports the very idea.” King Janaka invited his ministers, they praised the clan of Janaka and he advised them to publicly announce his promise. They returned to perform their duties, they were not at all happy.

The ministers announced “Oh! Kings assembled in the hall, listen to me carefully, we are announcing the promise of the King of Vidheha. The powers of the hands of the King are like Chandra and Shivadhanuss is like Rahu which is too heavy and too hard to fasten.  The illustrious King like Ravana, Banasura have silently returned after witnessing the power of it. Therefore, who fasten the glorious Shivadhanuss in the assembly would attain Devi Sita as his wedded wife and the person would be considered as won over the three worlds.” The kings assembled were extremely happy after listening to the announcement, all were proud of their powers wanted to test their prowess, they were deeply frustrated, tied their upper clothing on the waist and hurried to the Shivadhanuss, they prayed to their beloved deities, they were impatient, looked at the Shivadhanuss with extreme anger, and utilized their all the strength to lift it. Alas! The bow did not move an inch, the intelligent Kings did not even attempt, the dull-minded were rushed to it and returned to their seats with extreme disgrace, the Shivadhanuss seemed to pull out all the prowess of the Kings who tried to lift it.

Ten thousand Kings collectively went to lift the Shivadhanuss but failed miserably. In this way, the efforts of the Kings assembled were became futile, the Shivadhanuss did not move an inch like the chaste woman who does not heed to the words of a lustful person. All those Kings who approached the Shivadhanuss were faced utter humiliation; they left their fame, prowess, glories at the feet of Shivadhanuss. The Kings assembled had extreme confusion and disappointment among them and returned to their respective seats. The King Janaka watching all these, felt annoyed and spoke “There are a number of Kings and rulers from various Kingdom are present on this occasion, even the deities and Asuras are disguised as King and presents in the hall, and various powerful rulers are present here.  The winner would attain a beautiful bride, immense wealth, and fame, Alas! I wonder Lord Bhrama has not created a human suitable for my daughter, he has not created a human who could fasten the powerful Shivadhanuss and to get married to my daughter. Who will refuse to have the precious gifts? It is disappointing none could fasten the Shivadhanuss, surprisingly none could move an inch from its place, Oh! Brothers, I have to say with extreme grief that there is no valorous human born on this Earth, kindly do not get agitated to my words, therefore all of you can return to your Kingdom, I think my daughter has to spend her life as unmarried, it is her fate, If I give up my promise it would remove all my fortune, I have not seen any other way, I think Devi Sita should spend all her life unmarried. If I have known that there will not be a valorous person in this world, I would not have taken this promise, I will not stand as a joker before all of you.” The women folks and the crowd were sunk in deep sorrow after listening to the painful words of King Janaka. They felt pity for Devi Sita, but Lakshmana who was sitting near Rama could not control his frustration. His bow curved too hard, lips quivered and the eyes shed fire in anger. The words of King Janaka hit like an arrow on his chest, he was scared of Rama, so he could not express his anger out.

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.

 Devi Sita's worship of Goddess Gauri/ Rama and Lakshmana's arrival in the Yajja arena

Devi Sita went to the shrine of Devi Gauri and sincerely prayed “ Oh! Parvatharajakumari, Hail you! Oh! Devi, who stares at the splendor of Lord Mahadeva, like a Chakora bird at the full moon, Oh! Devi, who is the mother of Gajavadhana Ganesha, and six, faced Karthikeya, you are the mother of Universe and its living beings, has the resemblance of lightning, Hail you! Oh! Devi, you have neither beginning nor end, Vedas are incompetent to describe your splendor, Oh! Devi, you are the cause for creation, preservation, and destruction of the Universe and its living beings, you are capable to entice the whole Universe,  you are free to move at your own will. Oh! Mother, you are the chaste wife of Mahadeva, your glories are indescribable even for Adishesha or Goddess Sharadha.  Oh! Devi, worship of you would bring four Purusharththa/Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Oh! Varadhayini, Oh! Beloved of Thripurari, whoever worships your lotus feet would attain welfare, deities, sages, Rishis, and humans constantly engage contemplation upon you. Oh! Devi, you reside as a soul in living beings, you have understood my desire, and therefore I am not keeping it open.” Thus, Devi Sita prostrated before Devi Gauri and hold on to her feet. Devi Bhavani was extremely pleased with her devotion and faith. The flower garlands from the idol fallen on Devi Sita, the idol of Devi Bhavani gave out a pleasant smile, Devi Sita devotedly kept the garland on her head. Devi Gauri spoke pleasantly “ Oh! Sita, listen to me, all your desires will fulfill. Maharishi Narada’s predictions never go untrue; you will attain the groom you have desired. You will attain that dark cloud complexioned charming youth as your husband.  The Supreme Lord who is all-pervasive and most compassionate knows your virtues and disciplines.” Devi Sita and all her female companions were extremely happy listening to the blessings of Devi Gauri. Once again, Devi Sita worshiped Goddess Bhavani and returned to the palace with extreme happiness.

Devi Sita was recollecting the predictions of Devi Bhavani, as an auspicious omen her left limbs quivered.   Rama and Lakshman highly appreciated the stunning beauty of Devi Sita and returned to their preceptor. Rama explained all that happened in the garden to Kaushika because he was innocent and open-hearted. Maharishi took flowers from them, after the worship of the deity, Maharishi Vishwamithra blessed the two brothers ‘Let all your desires come true!” Rama and Lakshmana became extremely happy. They had a sumptuous meal after that Maharishi narrated various legends from the scriptures, thus most parts of the day were spent like this, after obtaining permission from the preceptor, these two brothers went to perform sun worship. Rama remembered the attractive face of Devi Sita watching the luster of the moon, and felt happy once again. Rama thought “Chandra was born from the salt waters of the ocean, he has toxic poison as a brother, he is dull in the daylight and invisible, he has blemishes, and sick, therefore Chandra cannot reflect the beauty of Devi Sita. He has to undergo waning and waxing, hence he is a curse to the young maiden who is in love, he undergoes the afflictions from Rahu, he causes sorrow to Chakravaha, he causes the lotus flower to shrink, Oh! Chandra, you have many defects in you, if I have compared your luster to the face of Devi Vaidhehi, it would be a grave sin.” In this way he was engaged in various thoughts of Devi Sita, did not notice the time, it was already late in the night, he returned to the chamber of the preceptor, he prostrated before him and returned to his chamber. It was almost the late hours of the night; he spoke to Lakshmana “Oh! Brother, it is the early hours of dawn, the sun has arrived to keep the lotus flowers and Chakravaha in extreme delight.”

Lakshmana with folded hands spoke to Rama “Oh! Brother, very soon the kings assembled in the city of Mithila will return, after your arrival in this city, like the stars disappear from the sky in the daylight.   Even though they shine in the daylight, they cannot lift the Shivadanuss like massive darkness on their shoulders. Oh! Prabho, when you fasten the bow, all your devotees will be happy, like the honey bees, lotus flowers and Chakravaha becomes happy at the end of the night. The sun has risen and the darkness has gone, and the stars disappeared, the Lord Surya spreading its brilliance all over the world, Oh! Raghuram, the Lord Surya has revealed your presence to those Kings assembled in the city, the Dhanuryajja has been organized mainly to reveal your prowess and splendor.” Lord Rama smiled at his brother. They went to perform ablutions, performed the morning rites, and went to meet their preceptor, and prostrated before him. King Janaka invited his preceptor Shathanandha to the palace, later Sage Shathanandha went to meet Maharishi Vishwamithra, and he called for Rama and Lakshmana.  They sincerely prostrated before Maharishi Shathanandha and took a seat near Sage Vishwamithra who advised them to follow him to meet King Janaka.

 Sage Vishwamithra speaks “Oh! Vathsa, King Janaka has sent an invitation to participate in the grand Dhanuryajja, we will go and witness the wedding of Devi Sita. We have to witness who is that fortunate one going to get married to Devi Sita.” Lakshmana speaks “Oh! Guru, whoever has the grace of you will attain the fame.” The sages assembled were extremely happy to listen to his words, they blessed the two youths. Rama and Lakshman with all those Sages went to the arena where the grand Dhanuryajja was going to be held. All the villagers, ladies, children, men, elderly people have abandoned their homes and rushed the Yajja arena at the arrival of Rama and Lakshman. King Janaka advised his men to invite the people of Mithila and make them seated in the magnificent hall. The Kingsmen amiably spoke to the people assembled and helped them to be seated on their respective seats according to their social status such as intellectuals, twice-born, traders, and service-minded people, etc.

 Rama and Devi Sita's meeting in the pleasure garden

Rama speaks “Oh! Brother, the Dhanuryajja was proposed to conduct the marriage of the daughter of King Janaka, she has arrived in the shrine of Goddess Girija with her female attendants. She is spreading luster all over the place and walking all around the garden. Usually, I keep myself calm and quiet, but after seeing the stunning beauty of Devi Sita, I have become restless, God knows the reason for it. Oh! Brother, listen to me, my right part of the body is quivering as a mark of upcoming auspiciousness, the mind and intellect of the Raghuvamshis never wander in distress or difficulties, and I have great confidence in me that will not take pleasure in the strange woman.  There are very few  people in this word, who do not flee from battlefields, give their heart to strange women, or look at them lustfully, and serve the beggars with respect.” While Rama was talking to his brother, his mind was completely engaged in the beauty of Devi Sita’s lotus-like face as if honey bee taking pleasure in the lotus flower. Devi Sita dreadfully looked around in search for the two princes, her innocent looks resembled the baby antelope.  Immediately one of her companions pointed her finger and showed her the two handsome brothers in the creeper garden, she amazed looking at the loveliness of Rama; she felt extremely happy as if her long lost gem got back. She could not withdraw her eyes from Rama, and her eyelids forgot to blink, she lost body consciousness due to the rush of love for Rama, stood like a Chakora bird fixed its gaze at the full moon. She arrested the loveliness of Rama through the doors of her eyes and locked them in her heart, and closed the doors like eyes. Her female companions understood Devi Sita is completely besieged with the love for the dark cloud complexioned youth, they remained silent.

At the same time, the two brothers came out of the creeper garden, like the unblemished full moon comes out of the cloud, these two valorous youth were flawless, one has the luster of blue lotus flower and another one has the luster of white lotus. Their dark curly hair locks were adorned in peacock, his forehead was adorned in sandalwood paste and vermilion soaked in perspirations, they were adorned in magnificent earrings, they had attractive curved eyebrows, curly hair locks, red cheeks, beautiful jawline, nose, and attractive smile. Their loveliness was beyond description, which excels the beauty of several Kamadeva. Their chest was adorned in gem decorated ornaments, their neck has the resemblance to conch, and their long hands resemble the long trunk of youthful elephant Airavatha of Lord Indra. One of her companions speaks “Oh! Sakhi, the dark cloud complexioned prince with a handful of flowers on the left is extremely handsome. He has an attractive waist like a lion, attired in yellow silk garments.” The companions of Devi Sita looked at the Supreme Lord who is the epitome of beauty, and storehouse of virtues, and forgot themselves.

One of the companions of Devi Sita said “Oh! Devi, you can worship Devi Gauri later, why don’t you look at Rama?” Devi Sita opened her eyes, she saw the two lion-like princes before her, she looked Rama from head to toe, and immediately she thought of her father’s promise and got anxious. Devi Sita was completely besieged in love with him; at that moment one of her companions called for the ladies and said “Oh! Sakhi, we are already late to return to the palace, we will be back at the same time tomorrow.” They laughed together, and Devi Sita walked away shyly. Her mother was worriedly looking for the return of her daughter. Devi Sita kept her feelings for Rama intact with her and made herself prepared to follow the promise of her father. Devi Sita repeatedly looked back as if she was looking at birds or deer, or trees, and looked at Rama the most charming youth, her love for Rama was grown beyond words. Devi Sita immersed in various thoughts, the breaking Shivadhanus is not an easy task, she repeatedly remembered the dark cloud complexioned Rama.  Prabhu was watching Devi Sita who is the storehouse of beauty, virtues, and love, leaving with her companions, portrayed her beauty in his heart with the ink of love.

It was the final hours of the night; the rooster produced loud noise made Lakshmana leave the bed. The supreme Lord who is Sarvajja, Jagathpathi was already up before his preceptor. He had performed all the routines and took bath and performed daily rites, and they stood before the preceptor. Later, with the permission of the preceptor they together went to collect flowers from the garden, they have seen a beautiful garden in the palace, that gave out the appearance of Vasantha Rithu in all seasons, filled with fresh alluring flowers of various fragrances. There were a number of auspicious trees, there were creepers, filled with fruits and flowers, excels the beauty of gardens in the Devaloka.

The Supreme Lord who is perpetual bliss and his brother were astonished watching the beauty of it.  Oh! Listeners, if these pleasure gardens are capable to kindle happiness in the hearts of the abode of supreme bliss, we could imagine the attractiveness of this garden.

These two brothers looked around for the caretakers of the garden, with their permission they have started collecting leaves and flowers with great enthusiasm. In the same time, Devi Sita was on her way to worship Goddess Girija, at the order of her mother arrived in the garden. She was accompanied by women folks of great intelligence in marvelous attires were singing melodiously. There was a beautiful shrine close to the pond that attracts the heart of everyone.

They have won the hearts of the people of Mithila with their beauty, humility, generosity, and simplicity. The whole city is talking about their attractiveness and compassion; we should go and meet them, they are highly virtuous and attractive as well.” The speeches of his female attendants kindled desires in Devi Sita to witness the two handsome youths, she rushed to meet them, but none understood her love for Rama is eternal.

Devi Sita remembered the words of Maharishi Narada, it kindled intense love for Rama, and she looked around in search of Rama like a baby antelope in extreme terror and anxiousness. Rama could listen to the jingling noises of bangles, waist ornaments, chest ornaments, and anklets took great interest in his heart and spoke to Lakshmana “Lord Kamadeva has started playing the auspicious instrument Dhundhubi to win over the Universe.” he looked at the directions of the Jiggling noises, Alas! His eyes took great interest like Chakora bird that take pleasure in the full moon, he took great pleasure watching that marvelous beauty of Devi Sita. He watched at her loveliness without blinking eyes, he took great pleasure in her attractiveness. He highly praised her beauty in his heart, words did not come out. Lord Bhrama showed his excellence in creation by creating Devi Sita and send down to Earth, spoke to himself “she is the epitome of beauty, spreading loveliness to the whole Universe, she shines like a lightning in the magnificent shrine, poets are incompetent to describe her beauty, how did I describe the beauty of Vidhehaputhri?” In this way, Prabhu described the beauty of Devi Sita, and he began to converse with his brother.
