Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 Once there was a asura called Shambar. He terrorized all the Gods in the heaven. The Gods approached Dasharatha for help. Dasharatha agreed to help. Decked for war, Dasharatha left for the heavens. A fierce battle followed. With the Gandharva arrow, the king killed off the asura's army and then with his Shabdabhedi arrow, he killed the asura. The Gods were relieved. <br>After the war Dasharatha returned home. He had been wounded in the war. Kaikeyi knew AstraSanjeevini, the art of repairing wounds. She tried that on Dasharatha who was instantly cured. He asked to ask for a boon. Kaikeyi asked Manthara, "The king told me to ask for a boon. What should I say". The cunning Manthara said "Queen, tell him that you do not need a boon now but will ask for it if need be." The queen said that to the king, and the king agreed not know what the future had in store for him.<br>Once the king had a blister on his kinger. The blister started turning septic. The doctors told the king to have someone kiss him on that blister. The blister had pus on it and smelled bad. No one was willing to go near it. Kaikeyi agreed. As soon the queen touched the blister with her lips, it vanished. The king pleased agreed to grant another boon to Kaikeyi. Kaikeyi said she would ask for it when she needed it. The king promised to give her the two boons whenever she wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
