Respected devotees

 

Shriman Vasudevan sir has asked a beautiful question

for which a small devotee would like to answer in the

following way.

 

Who told that viswamitra went to see King dasarath by

foot. Here it is to mention that whenever we go to

see lord or any great person we go with MANORTHA and

sage viswamitra also went to ayodhya with Manoratha.

This is being explained in Tulsi Ramayan in Balakanda

at doha 206.

 

 

 

Do.: bahubidhi karata manoratha j.ta l.gi nahiò

b.ra,

kari majjana saraµu jala gae bhµupa

darab.ra.206.

Indulging in expectation of various kinds the sage

took no time in reaching his

destination. Bathing in the stream of the Sarayµu he

proceeded to the royal court. (206)

 

Also Rama and Laksman went by foot alongwith sage

viswamitra this is being written in ramayan. The

question for vibeshana arises when lord rama was

fighting with Ravana in yudha kanda that Lord rama was

not having chariot and vibeshan feels very bad that

Lord rama is not having chariot and ask lord rama

that he is not having chariot. For this Lord rama

answers in a beautiful way. So we can presume that

Chariot means the following and not the vehicle which

one should posses as we find in now a days life. So

no where we can say that Lord rama was without

chariot. Saint Tulsidas paints this in a beautiful

verses in Yudha Kanda at Doha No.79 which is placed

below:-

 

 

Do.: duhu disi jaya jayakåra kari nija nija jor jåni,

bhire bra ita råmahi uta råvanahi bakhåni.79.

With a shout of ìVictory! victory!!î on both sides and

each finding his own match,

the heroes came to a close combat, the monkeys singing

the glory of ›r Råma and the

demons extolling Råvaƒa. (79)

 

Cau.: råvanu rath biratha raghubrå, dekhi bibhana

bhayau adhrå.

adhika prti mana bhå saÅdehå, baÅdi carana kaha sahita

sanehå.1.

nåtha na ratha nahiÚ tana pada trånå, kehi bidhi

jitaba bra balavånå.

sunahu sakhå kaha kæpånidhånå, jehiÚ jaya hoi so

syaÅdana ånå.2.

sauraja dhraja tehi ratha cåkå, satya sla dæRha dhvajå

patåkå.

bala bibeka dama parahita ghore, chamå kæpå samatå

raju jore.3.

sa bhajanu sårath sujånå, birati carma saÅtoa kæpånå.

dåna parasu budhi sakti pracaÅŒå, bara bigyåna ka¢hina

kodaÅŒå.4.

amala acala mana trona sam.n., sama jama

niyama silmukha n.n..

kavaca abheda bipra gura pµuj., ehi sama

bijaya up.ya na dµuj..5.

sakh. dharmamaya asa ratha j.ke¡ , jtana kaha¡

na katahu¡ ripu t.ke¡ .6.

 

Vibh¦aÄa was disconcerted when he saw R.vaÄa mounted

on a chariot and the Hero of Raghu.s line without any.

His great fondness for the Lord filled his mind with

diffidence; and bowing to His feet he spoke with a

tender heart: .My lord, You have no chariot nor any

protection either for Your body (in the shape of

armour) or for Your feet (in the shape of shoes). How,

then, can You expect to conquer this mighty hero?.

..Listen, friend:. replied the All-merciful, .the

chariot which leads one to victory is quite another.

Valour and fortitude are the wheels of that chariot,

while truthfulness and good conduct are its enduring

banner and standard. Even so strength, discretion,

self-control and benevolence are its four horses, that

have been joined to the chariot with the cords of

forgiveness, compassion and evenness of mind.

Adoration of God is the expert driver;dispassion, the

shield and contentment, the sword. Again, charity is

the axe; reason, the fierce lance and the highest

wisdom, the relentless bow. A pure and steady mind is

like a quiver; while quietude and the various forms

of abstinence (Yamas) and religious observances

(Niyamas) are a sheaf of arrows. Homage to the

Br.hmaÄas and to one.s own preceptor is an

impenetrable coat of mail; there is no other equipment

for victory as efficacious as this. My friend, he who

owns such a chariot of piety shall have no enemy to

conquer anywhere.. (1.6)

 

Do.: mah. ajaya saÅs.ra ripu jti sakai so bra,

j.ke¡ asa ratha hoi d¾Rha sunahu sakh. matidhra.80(A).

suni prabhu bacana bibh¦ana hara¦i gahe pada kaÅja,

ehi misa mohi upadesehu r.ma k¾p. sukha puÅja.80(B).

uta pac.ra dasakaÅdhara ita aÅgada hanum.na,

larata nis.cara bh.lu kapi kari nija nija prabhu

..na.80©.

 

..Listen, O friend of resolute mind: the hero who

happens to be in possession of such

a strong chariot can conquer even that mighty and

invincible foe, attachment to the world..Hearing the

Lord.s words, Vibh¦aÄa clasped His lotus feet in joy.

..You have utilized this opportunity to exhort me, O

R.ma, an embodiment of grace and bliss that You are..

On that side the ten-headed R.vaÄa threw his

challenge, while on this side AÆgada and Hanum.n

invited him to a contest. The demons, on the one hand,

and the bears and monkeys, on the other, steadily

fought, each side swearing by its lord.

 

 

with due respects
